Been lurking---UPDATE

Well, tomorrow will be 4 weeks post RNY. As I posted early, i developed an infection in my large incision that really made me feel like crap. I ended up going back to surgery on 5/25 for and inciison and drainage of the wound. Since then I have slowly been getting better. Have not needed any pain meds for the last week. Still have a hole in my belly that needs to close up from the inside out. Wonder how long this will take?

Last Saturday my husband and I went down to Wrigley Field and saw that Brad Paisley concert with Jerrod Neiman, The Band Perry, Chris Young, Miranda Lambert and of course Brad Paisley. It was amazing! It was my first real outing since my surgery and it really did a lot for my psyche and energy level. I am back driving now and I go back to work tomorrow. Tolerating pureed foods ok, although I can't wait until softs!! Went shopping and went from 2X to XL in tops, down 26 lbs!!!
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!

Glad to hear things are going well!

Way to go. It just keeps getting better from here on out.

I'm so happy to hear that you're on the mend :-)

I was wondering how you were doing.  I'm glad to hear you are doing better!

Congrats!!! You are doing real well. Have fun in the Pureed food stage, I was so glad to be past that, but now in soft food stage and finding some things I can't eat that I used to love. But it is much better then Puree. Keep it up, looks like you have your head on right.
