Topic: RE: I am SOOOO Tired!
I know someone told me how good people start feeling. So I was so upset when I felt bad for the first week. Now slowly but surely I am feeling better. Cindy

Hi Nicole, I had surgery on feb. 28 and have lost 17 pounds. On Thurs. I start back to work on light- duty. I miss my diet pop. But I'm being good and drinking the water.
Good luck to you. Cindy

Topic: RE: 11 days PS and my Stomach still feels swollen!!! Is this normal?
My surgery was on feb. 28. I would say that just the last two days my tummy is feeling normal. I was surprised how long it took to feel better. Cindy
Topic: I just found you
Hi everyone! I just found this board with everyone that had surgery in the month of February and I am so excited. I normally post on the Tennessee board and they were all such a big help but to have people that are going through what I am at approximately the same time will be great. I had lap rny on 2/1/07 and I have lost 42 lbs. I am very excited about that! I only have 75 lbs to go to my goal weight which is 140-145. One thing I am having a problem with is that I am so thirsty all the time and just want to chug my water, since I can't I sip it all day and sometimes forget that I need to eat something. Anyone else have this problem? I am wondering if this thirst is normal or if I just drank alot before my suregery. I was a huge soda drinker probably a 12 pack of pepsi a day, and now all I drink is water. Well I can't wait to get to know you all and hope I can help anyone if they need it.

I too feel the same about losing too slowly. Maybe we all expect to much or are just too excited to "get on with it already"!
I am 5 weeks post op and I am down 23 pounds since surgery but I lost 15 more on the 2-week presurgery liquid diet. So....do I say I am down 38 pounds or do I say 23 pounds.
My doctor said not to worry about the weight. It WILL fall off.
I have not had one single problem since surgery. It has been a breeze. I like not feeling hungry and I wish that feeling would last forever. Food is not ruling my life now and I am amazed at how much free time I have not "eating".

I know Exactly how you feel! I had my surgery on the 15th and my first week I lost 24 pounds, then nothing up until last Friday I was down 5 pounds! I was like this is crazy. The clothes thing, well that is something else, I can start to see the change, I actually feel it. And my stomach went down a lot, it is an amazing experience

I had RNY on the 26th also. My stomach is still a little sore too, especially around the incisions. Try walking just a little to start, maybe that will help speed along the heeling process. I know I feel better even after just a short walk. Good luck to you!
Topic: Exactly 1 month & 38 lbs. down!
Today is exactly one month for me and I'm down 38lbs. Yeah! My clothes are starting to hang on me...I love it! I'm amazed at what a breeze this whole surgery has been. One week after surgery and I went on a 3 mile hike with my son. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Had I known it would be this easy I'd have done it ages ago! Only negative is I feel like the weight is not coming off fast enough. I was stuck at 32lbs. for almost 10 days. Finally 6 more came off in the last week. How's everyone else doing who had their surgery on or about the 12th? How much have you lost? How do you feel physically a month later?
