How often do you you have bowel movements now post-op? I know it was a big deal for me to have one before I was even discharged from the hospital... but now post-op, I might have one 2-3 times per week. Granted, I'm still on the full liquid diet... is this normal?
Topic: 2-Week Follow-Up
Hey Gang,
I just got back from my 2-week follow-up with the NUT and my surgeon. I'm down exactly 30 pounds since surgery!
God is so very good!

Topic: Did you miss out?
Don't worry it's not to late to join in on the fun and support. Hi everbody. I just wanted to let you all know that we had our first meeting tonight at 8pm est. It was a blast. I enjoyed it so much and it was so nice connecting in real time and hearing everyone's voice. We talked about what we are experiencing at this stage shared our thoughts and feelings and what we are going through. One thing was very apparent we are all in it to win it.
I wanted a name for the group and after our get together the name was very apparent to me to call it in in to win it. We have a very good group of people here. Everybody is open and more then willing to share.
I want to thank Fay,Michelle,Brenda for taking the time out of your schedule and coming out to support.
I want you all to know that this group is going to continue to grow and get bigger there are about 20 members now and it will get bigger.
This is a great outlet for us all to get together it was so nice just being able to talk and support one another.It meant alot to me and i know that im not alone. That's what this is all about.
If you missed out this time don't worry we will meet again next week. If you want to join us send me an email with your name and your email.
If you had the surgery,looking into it or just need the supprt come join us i'm sure you will be able to relate to someone or something that is said.
I had a great time and can't wait till next Mon. See ya'll soon.

Topic: RE: the scale doesn't move
I had RNY on 12/18/08 and have stalled too. My first 2 weeks I lost 28 pounds and for the last week and a half have been stalled at 28 pounds. I do feel like my clothes are feeling looser, so I think I am losing inches and not pounds. I'm ready for more than liquid and mush. I wish I could do more than walking. I have heel spurs on both feet, left one much worse than the right. It hurts me to go out and walk. I would love to be back in the gym using the machines and at least doing some toning. I don't want bat wings!!!!
