Hi Bobby- I just wanted to say congrats on your new jounrney!!! I read what you wrote on the DS forum (about having to lose 250+#) I too am in that boat..... I had my ds 2/20/03 at 478# (highest was 503) and today 2 yrs post op Im at 330#.....stopped losing pretty much since last may.....not sure if I will get a revision, debating that right now. But I am not upset at all.....I can move without pain and my life is so full and Im actually living and not existing. You are doing great and keep up the good work!! HUGS HEALTH HAPPINESS Lisa

I read your updates and problems with food. My sister had the surgery almost 3 years ago and she had a lot of problems eating the first year. She lived on protein bars (low sugar kind) and ate no meat for months. Anything fried made her sick, so stay away from breaded or fried anything. I was worried she would starve to death, but of course she did not. Now she can eat most anything, but in moderation. So hang in there, and if you did not get adequate diet teaching before surgery maybe a dietician consult would help. My surgery is the 18th of August, and I hate to vomit so I will follow the diet plan to the letter. Good luck.

Thank you all for your words of encouragement. All went well with the surgery. I've been keeping a "diary" on my home page, so please check it out. Maybe some of you have experienced the same things and can offer advice. Thank you all.

Hi Bobby! Congrats on having your surgery! Let the weight loss begin!! I bet you feel relieved now. It's over and now you are on the other side and can join the ranks of the losers. Welcome, my friend!!! Happy RE-Birthday to you! From this day forward you life will change forever. Just try to take it easy and remember to sip, walk, deep breathe and cough. Take those pain pills and splint the tummy! These first few days are rough, but I assure you they get better with each passing day. Some days those emotions will resurface and try to get the best of you, but just remember what you’ve been through to get this far! I’m sure you’ll be proud of what you’ve accomplished!! You know you can always come here and get a dose of confidence and good will! We will still be here to support you and cheer you on as the pounds come off! I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you today and that you are in my thoughts and prayers for an uncomplicated, swift recovery. You are an official loser!! Wishing you much success in your weight-loss journey. Today you burst out of that cocoon and become a beautiful butterfly! Tomorrow you’ll spread those wings and embark on a wonderful journey! Soft hugs to you today. God bless, DI from NJ - Lap RNY, 12/09/03 ~In Loving Memory of Momma Angel~
