Click on my ticker ... go and make your own on that site.  At the end when you are all done making it, use the code and put it in your signature.  That is all I did and it works!  Use the [IMG] code ... I think that's the one.  Good luck!

Well better than I was...my RNY went open during surgery...so I have a HUGE inciscion on my stomach...and then I had a gout flare up! Couldn't walk for 3 weeks....I'm walking today!!!!
Food is a litle difficult for me texture wise...but chicken, salmon, ground beef have all gone down and stayed down. I've lost 48 pounds so far. I'm also always thirsty..anyone else always thirsty???

Surgery Date? 2 days after the beautiful Karen! 01/28/09

Type of Surgery?
Laparoscopic RNY

Start weight?
242

Weight now?
207

Any pain left?
None!

Any complications?
Just in the hosp when my blood pressure, heart rate and temp went THRU THE ROOF!  Scary-then it got controlled, wasn't anything!

How do you feel? 
I feel good, REALLY good.  I'm doing things I thought I never would (already)!

What does is your exercise schedule like? 
Treadmill for 20 mins every other day no incline at 3.0-working on this but it's what I can do for now.  Then I hop off that and do the stationary bike for 5 mins.  Then on the other days I do ab-lounger xl for approx 5-7 mins and 5 lb weights bicep/tricep curls (ouch).  I'm really trying to push myself-it's hard.  So once things become easier I go longer and make it harder on myself.  I figure it's the only way I'm going to get results.  It's not supposed to get easier-only harder! :)  AND I only weigh myself ONCE a week now-when the biggest losers weigh in! :)  stupid scale. hate it.  so controlling.

Topic: Weight Ticker?? How
OK, so I am guessing that I am just not that smart because I can't figure out how to add a weight ticker to my post.  Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks,

Surgery Date?    Jan. 14th

Type of Surgery?   RNY

Start weight? 289

Weight now? 247

Any pain left? None what so ever

Any complications?  Nope, luckily it all went smooth..:-)

How do you feel?  Wonderful, except for when I gulp some water or eat something that is too dry... But I am dealing with it and it only last a short period of time.

What does is your exercise schedule like?  
I walk around my work building a lot for my job and sometimes in 3inch heals.  Then we have a gym here today that I will use the treadmills and weight station during the day if I have time. Get home and walk on the treadmill and/or do the Wii fit.  If I have had a stressful day I will go home and do a boxing workout on the Wii, it is a great stress release.

Hope everyone is having great success and doing well!!

Surgery Date? January 26, 2009

Type of Surgery? Lap RNY Gastric Bypass

Start weight? Week pre-op liquid diet started at 280 lbs.

Weight now? 248.8 (down 31.2 lbs)

Any pain left? Nope, the pinch is gone in my right incision and no more tenderness anywhere!

Any complications? Nope, thank God.  I am having some discomfort when I introduce the soft foods to my diet (turkey lunch meat, chicken, etc.), I think my pouch just needs to get use to them, they just feel "heavy" in my chest.

How do you feel?  I feel great!  So much better than before my surgery.  I didn't do through "Hell week", no second guessing my surgery (except when I didn't lose any weight in a week, but I just thought I was destined to be fat lol), no regrets at all!

What does is your exercise schedule like? I either go to the YMCA to do the treadmill and elliptical or do my Wii fit and tabata's

I am a 26th-er .... I am doing good ... today starts the "soft" food stage, so we will see how that goes.  I have a hard time with things that aren't mushy, they just don't sit well in my pouch.  Especially meat, but I am hoping that will get better!  I have lost almost 32 lbs. so far since my liquid diet a week before surgery.  

How are you doing?
