9/20/02--4 months post open RNY and down 70 pounds and lots of inches ! From a 4x shirt/pants to a loose 2x. Would I do it again ? YES--YOU BET I WOULD !! Have met several members of this site, some pre-op/some post-op. Have formulated a few new friendships and am thankful for my many blessings. Thanks to all my friends for their continued support; to my dear husband who helps keep me on track and to my surgeon, Dr. Osvaldo Anez--the man who gave me back my LIFE !

Marilyn, thanks for posting on my surgery page. I am excited about my upcoming surgery. Glad to hear that you really like Dr. Anez and seem to be doing so well in your recovery. Please don't be surprised if I email you with questions. Keep up the great attitude and sounds like you are doing so very well. Will pray for continued success and weight loss for you. Take care.

Dear Marilyn.........Hi! I'm Debra Manus' angel and haven't heard from her either. Can you send me her hospital room phone number, via e-mail? With both of us trying, we will be sure to get in touch. She had her surgery the day before me and I am just now getting up on my feet again. I feel very weak but can move around pretty good. I hope she is doing OK. I know she doesn't have any family support and want to talk with her and cheer her up! Thanks and God bless :)

YES MARLYN IT COULD BE YOU NEED MORE PROTEIN,OR THAT YOU NEED TO EAT MORE OFTEN.I HAVE FOUND OUT BY EATING 6 SMALL MEALS A DAY WORKS BETTER FOR ME,BUT IT'S MORE LIKE A SMACK MY BIGEST MEAL ARE AT BREAKFAST AND SUPPER.I GET HUNGRY DURING THE NIGHT BUT I ALWAYS DID.I AM ONE WHO CAN'T SLEEP UNLESS I EAT SOMETHING BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP.I KNOW IT'S NOT GOOD BUT I HAVE TRIED NOT TO AND IT JUST DON'T WORK. BY EATING SOMETHING EVERY 3-4 HRS, IT KEEPS YOU FROM GETTING CRAVINGS.I AM 7 MONTHS OUT AND HAVE LOST 108 POUNDS.THE CRACKER IS OK JUST SOMETHING THAT WILL SETTLE THE HUNGER PAINS.I SOMETIMES EAT CHEESE STICKS AND FIX A HERBAL DECAF.HOT TEA.GOOD LUCK ,NANCY [email protected]
