I had my surgery on April 5th and i too thought "what was i thinking?" I realized things were going to get better. I have lost a total of 71 pounds since my surgery. I have never felt better. I too had issues such as constipation, cramping, pain everytime i tried to breath, etc.etc. but after the 10th day i was better. I still have issues eating some of the foods that i want. but i would rather off being health than obease! its going to get better. just keep doing what Dr. Webb tells you... as for the constipation, you can take a stool softner to help out. let me know if there is any advice i can offer. Good luck! you are going to do great!

Congratulations on your surgery date! I have some Zen Wisdom for you - Nothing exists but momentarily...One thing flows into another...observe things as they are, let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- May God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family. I know that was true for me. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly. We all like to see how we are doing!!! Make sure you take pictures. It’s great to see the new you emerge!!! Not to mention the look on YOUR face when you look at those pictures and compare them in a few months! It’ll be a BIG WOW!!! Please remember too, that this is a *tool* to use. Make sure you use it wisely. The first year it’s pretty easy, after that I’ve been hearing (I’m not speaking from experience as I’m not a year out yet) that it gets increasingly difficult. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 down 115 pounds– I’M IN THE CENTURY CLUB!!!
