WOW!!!!

Hi Everyone! I am now 2 weeks out of surgery and I can not believe how great I feel. I walked 2 miles today!!!! I am a bit tired now. I have my 2 week check up on Thursday and will weigh in for the first time. I am trying not to be a slave to the scale! It is amazing how fast your body heals. I had open RY as well. My incision and stomach muscles are doing great, I am sleeping wonderfully, I am eating about 1/2 cup of food per meal. I love my protein shake. BUT, I have dumped 3 times since surgery and I am thankful for that I guess. PUSH yourselves and drink lots of water and have a postitive attitude and we will all be so successful. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Craig! I am glad you are having such success! Wow, walking 2 miles a day and only out two weeks....that's GREAT! I am also two weeks out today, and will see my surgeon today to have staples removed. Have you tried any new foods yet? I have had chicken, rice, turkey, tuna, crackers, and have yet to dump. I just chew, chew, chew! Keep up the good work and good luck at your appointment on Thursday! ~Marcia~

Craig, sounds like you are doing GREAT. I'm one week out and feeling really good too. I'm on full liquids for 4 to 6 weeks, so no real food for me yet. That's OK as I'm not hungry at this point. I had open RNY and was amazed how quickly I bounced back. I think my pre-op weight loss (50 lbs) and exercise program really made a significant difference for me. Mary
