6 week FU

Had my 6 week FU today, and I AM DOING GREAT. Down 37 pounds and melting more everyday. No pains,handling mostly all the foods that I have tried, and walking 1 mile per day weather permitting. Got the go-ahead to wien myself into diet stage 5. Woooohooo, I have been actually craving a veggie. Still no hunger feelings just that silly craving thing. Dawn 1/8/04 RNY -37

Dawn, You are doing GREAT!!! I'm so happy for you!! I know what you mean about the weather, it's not much better here in Pa. I bought a station bike, I have not used it yet as I'm still waitting for my husband to put it together. I'm sure I'll be near my goal by the time it get done!! I tryed some salad today, didn't have a problem. Just keep up the good work!!! Kristin 1/7/04 Revision -50

Dawn thats great!! Good for you!! Its kinda funny that we crave veggies, you think it would be something sweet. I ate alot of salads before my surgery (I was on the atkins diet) and i would say im not eating another salad again. Now I cant wait to eat one michelle

Hi Dawn, Congratulations on the good report. The only thing I would really like to have too is a good salad, but don't dare yet. Concentrating mostly on protein right now. Best wishes for continued success!!

Wow Dawn......Congrats to you......I go for my 2nd follow up on Tuesday, and I am so nervous that I will be dissappointed.......crazy huh? I was down 16lbs at 10 days......so Tuesday will be 24 days out. While recovering at my mom's, she was making herself a salad.......and I can't remember the last time I thought a cucumber smelled so good! Laura
