Question:
Am I normal?

What was your walking distance at 3 weeks post op? Were all your staples out? What were you "eating"? I had RNY & pann done and am not progressing like I thought I would. Any help would be appreciated.    — Mary P. (posted on February 9, 2000)

Mary, I am 3 weeks out today and started this week walking VERY SLOWLY on my treadmill (Dr. ok'd it) so I know exactly what I am walking. I am up to 20 minutes at about 1.5 MPH so I am walking just over 1/2 mile. I am taking it slow because I get sore if I do too much too soon. We have the rest of our lives to watch this weight come off- we need to do it carefully! Good Luck- Mary Beth- open Rny and gb removal
