The latest
Jul 28, 2010
Well, here's the report. 3 weeks out from surgery and the weight is still coming off. Down to 208 from start point 239 = 31# lost. woohoo!!!!![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/thumbsup2.gif)
I did find out my body didn't want any part of fried shrimp. I'm a celiac (no wheat,oats, rye, barley). So it was just dusted with rice flour and quick fried in smart balance oil. I didn't even get the second one down and whoops, up it came, partially. Then it felt like there was something stuck. I waited an hour and tried to sip on iced tea. It backed up and I threw up some more. Worse feeling ever. I never want to do that again. I'm afraid to take my meds or drink anything cuz it still hurts and I don't want to throw up anymore. I may not eat anything for supper tonite just to ensure everything has passed through.

Reborn!!
Jul 22, 2010
I had my RNY surgery 7/6. My weight started @ 239 at my pre-surgey weigh in at the nutritionist's office. I had my 2 week post op appt w/ her and I was 214.6 That's almost 25 pounds down. I get to increase from 1 oz to 2 oz of food. She wants me to up my protien to help in the healing. I had open due to numerous previous abdominal surgeries. I now have a wonderful incision from breastbone to belly button. No bikinis in my future!! I can't walk much yet due to the stomach muscle strain. I also tire easily. I actually had an easy time w/ surgery. 1 week in hospital stay. They removed 2 drain tubes. I still have one left on the left. I had my 25 staples taken out last Wednesday. I'm so worried the weight loss will end and the surgery won't have been worth it. I have extreme metabolic syndrome. Prior to surgery I could eat 800-1000 calories and never lose weight or even gain. I guess I'm scared, worried, excited and nervous. I say reborn cuz my birthday is 7/17, so I am becoming a new person ( I hope) with this surgery. I wasn't extremely heavy (145) til an AF (newbie) doctor took me off my thyroid meds in 92. I gained 60# in 4 months. Then it took till 4 years ago to find a doctor who would do the testing and put me back on them. I take more synthroid than my sister who had her thyroid irradiated, ie: destroyed. I have to have my hubby upload some pre surgery pictures and try do an upload a month as my body changes. I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to go to the support group meetings here in Co. Springs. I don't know if they'd help or not.
