I went to my doctor and his scales say that I have lost 40 lbs, my scales say that I am 10lbs heavier.  I am going to go by his scales.
I go to my sureon on Jan 24 and will know the truth then.  I am going to wear the same clothes as the day after surgery,  I know that they will be way to big, but I want to do this, just because.
I feel better, my back and neck still hurt but not as bad as before surgery, as more weight comes off I do hope that the pain will get down to next to nothing.
I am praying for my daughter that her insurance approves her, and that she can have WLS as well.  My daughter NEEDS this surgery and maybe it will pull her out of her deep, dark depression.  She has serveral comorbideds and I would love for her to have it, this was all her idea that I get it as well, we just did not think that I would have it before her. My grandson say's "grandma, your face is so skinny"  He wants his old grandma back, but I just told him "to bad so sad"

I have not weighed myself for a week or so, I just dont think I have lost any, although I am doing and drinking what I am suppose to be doing. I feel good!  I still go on my walks or ride bike.  I only have one incision that is still open and draining a small amount, looks better every day.  I am going to weigh in on Sat. and see what the devils scale says, but not until then!  I would be on them two or three times a day if I let myself, still on a liquid diet until the 5th, then start pureed foods, cant wait, I know to take it slow and easy, and not to drink 15min. before or 30 to 60 minutes after.  Wonder how I am every going to get my water in on that one.

I am now 16 days post op and I feel GREAT.  I went to my primary doctor yesterday the 21 of Nov and had labs done and weighed, I have lost 20lbs since my surgery on Nov 7, 2006.  I am still a little sore at
my incisions, but they are getting better.  I walk alot, when the rain let's up here in Oregon, if I cannot walk, then I ride our stationary bike.  I feel wonderful, yes sometimes after my walk I do feel tired but I keep moving, I do rest to get caught up, but I do move, more than I did before surgery.
I was having trouble getting protein and water in, but now that I have the knack of it I am doing really well in that department.  I have been using 100% whey in my protein drinks so when it is gone I know that I have accomplished something.

Hi, I have had my surgery on Nov 07, 2006 and I feel great!  I am walking and doing somethings around the house, I try not to let my self be ideal.  I had my husband hide the scales from me so that I will not be tempted, he says that I look like I  have lost, next week Monday I will get on scales and see.  I am having a bit of problem getting down my protein and water, but I have made up my mind to carry my water around with me whereever I go and every hour on the hour have my protein and then flush out with water water water.
I am so glad that I have done this and I do hope I can do this, I know that I can and have the support of my family, esspecially my dear bratty daughter, she hopes to have this surgery soon herself and I am praying that she will work as hard on it as I. 

I have a date of Nov 7,2006 for my Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
I have completed all my labs, etc, etc, now all I have to do is my 
psych evalution and then I am on my way.  I am still a little frighten but our good Lord will take care.  I have waited so very long to make this decision and now that I have I can not wait to much longer.  Went to my primary doctor and he was really glad that I decided to do this.  I am at the point that my back and legs hurt so badly now that I  MUST do something, I can hardly walk or stand up now without pain, so I know this is going to be my life saver.
