Hey Julie! late posting here - sorry I had surgery August 1st. Lost 41 pounds pre-op and 22 pounds post up so far! i have my one month doc visit today - so i will be able to get an official weight then. He also will check all my labs to make sure everything is still on track! No complications so far (knock on wood) and it is getting better everyday! Thanks for checking in with us. patty

WoW - only 5 days?? I did not even FEEL like getting on the computer for about 2 weeks. I did not have any complications, but that first week expecially was pretty rough! Glad you are up and around - congrats!

Hello everyone. Great idea Julie. I had RNY on 8/24 I lost 20lbs pre-op and 12-13lbs post-op. I have not had any major problems. I usually can only drink 4oz. at a time. Otherwise everything else is going well. Good luck and God Bless everyone.

Hello to the August Losers: My lap RNY was August 15th. I lost 8 lbs before surgery and have lost about 16 lbs since. I won't get my official weight until my 3-week check up on September 11th. The only problems I'm having are a little pain around the belly button area, general soreness (which is getting better), and tiring easily. It's also hard to get in 80 grams of protein every day. I'm already sick of those protein drinks! Pam

Topic: At home and grateful

I am so glad to be home from the hospital. They treated me well there, I just didn't get much sleep. I am so glad to be in my bed with my cats to keep me company. I missed my girls while I was gone. I am also grateful for all the support that has been shown to me. This group, the PA forum, and my friends on all accounts have been so supportive of me. God has shown me how awesome His love for me is through all of you. Thanks again, Trish
