Wow, I haven't been to the boards in so long. There are so many new faces. I'm posting my six-month post-op status. As you might know, Hubby and I both had lap rny on January 2, 2002 and here it is, a little over six months and I'm just completely different. Completely. I used to sit in front of the computer 24/7, mostly out of sheer exhaustion. Now, I'm going and doing, and I rarely go online. In just six months- I'm down 70 pounds. I'm wearing a size 10 (down from a size 24). I got my belly-button pierced two weeks ago in celebration of this mile-stone. Hubby is down 100 pounds. He is wearing a size 36 (down from a size 52). He is a little more conservative than I am, so his belly-button is still the same old, non-pierced one it was before surgery..'cept smaller (LOL). My stomach is my problem area. I haven't worked out though in so long, it is probably time to start. I have about 30 more pounds to go. I haven't figured out my BMI in so long, I can't wait to see what it says. If you are thinking about this surgery or have questions, please email me. Good luck and best wishes to all. Take care

Heather, I know exactly what you mean! I'm down 75lbs and just 26 lbs from goal and I still have trouble seeing it. I think it just takes time for the mental image to catch up with the body changes. Hang in there, we'll get there eventually!

Hi Heather - I read your post and I have to tell you you are absolutely normal. I had the same thing - I never realized how many FOOD commercials that were on TV until I was post op and not able to eat "normal" food. Trust me, it's rough, but it gets better. I kept telling myself that it was only temporary and that I would soon be able to eat real food. When you get to this stage, you will probably be like me and want to eat HEALTHY food - I actually crave chicken and veggies, etc. and I barely crave sugar and breads which were my favorites. Trust me, it gets better. I'll be thinking of you.

Good morning Heather. I was happy to see your post this morning. I feel bad for you when I see what you are going through with head hunger. Been there, done that. All I can tell you is live day-by-day and pack your food for work and ignore everything else. And get that fluid in!! It's going to get better sweetie, I promise. I'll be 6 weeks post-op Monday and it's still no piece of cake. But it's better than what I had before the surgery. Love you, honey.

Welcome to the other side, Heather! Keep up your sipping and don't forget to try those fat-free/sugar-free ice cream bars--those made my post-op tummy very happy! LOL In a couple of weeks you will be full of energy and ready to rock and roll!
