Had my first postop checkup today (Open RNY on Ap 3)--a bit later than most people have it I guess--but heck, better late than never. 30 POUNDS GONE! And I don't feel like it really. But that's what the scale said--last time 485, today 455! And yippee--no more clear liquid diet, thank goodness! 3 days of *full* liquids and then on to purees. Bring on those protein drinks! Thank YOU to all my beautiful extended family members at this site. Warmest Blessings and Peace! Terry
