I had surgery on 02-12-2008 and is looking for anyone who had surgery around that time and would like to know how they are doing

I had mine on 2/21 and am doing great. Still having a little left side pain, which I kinda thought would be getting better by now. Lots of head hunger. You name it and I am craving it, but I am still on full liquids. So far, no problems though. How about you? Sandi

I had mine the same day as you--the gastric bypass. My goal is to lose 80 total and I have lost 15 already . I feel good, eating is a challenge as so many things taste different. I have had a little dumping from not chewing enough. Sadly, sweets don't make me dump. I started back to CURVES this week. Still a bit tired and weak. Headed on a one week biz trip next week, presenting twice to large groups, I am ready. How are you?

I am fine, I have lost 30lbs but have not lost any weight in the last two weeks. I wonder if I am doing something wrong. I also had the gastric bypass. Barbara

had mine 2/13/08, I am down 30 total (including the 7 form the liquid diet before) I am eating all kinds of things, I try something new everyday. The nut had given me apaper with soft proteins and that was it. I have had triscuits with seafood salad today, 1/2 a wrap sandwhich with italian roast beef shredded cheese, a little lettuce, mayo. I went back to work on 2/25 and feel great. Remembering all my meds is the biggest obstacle. Feel free to send me a message if you want to kee in touch!

I also had surgery on that date and would love to compare notes with someone like me. I am doing okay...definitely have lost some weight, but sometimes have a hard time distiguishing full. I'm wanting to drink water all the time. Tell me how you're doing!!

I was 2-12-18 as well and am down 33 lbs. today. I do puke about every 3-5 days on something though. I have trouble getting in all of my protein though not my water. i also can't remember all of my pills. I usually get 50-75 percent of those in. How are you doing?? Anyone else???? Donna

Hi Barbara, We have the same date!!! I am doing really well as in I have never thrown up or felt badly. I went back to work after a week. Initially the weight was coming off fast...but the past 2 weeks I have been at a stall. I am down 30 pounds...but can't seem to move anymore than that now. I am trying to drink more water and hoping that will help flush more fat out! So far I have been able to eat most anything (all good choices) I have tried without issues. Write me back...I would love to know how you are doing too! Chrislena

I also have lost 30 pounds and have not lost anything in the last two weeks. I am doing o.k. I have not gotten sick in the last couple of weeks, but have had some other issues. Hope you cont. to do well.

Hi Barbara: I had surgery on 2/20/08. My procedure was a VSG. I am doing really well and have lost a total of 56 pounds, 34 of them since surgery. I noticed since I have started really exercising I am losing faster. Today is not a good day fo rme I ate some salad on Sunday and Monday and it has not agreed with my little stomach. I have had terrible stomach pains since last night, but it seems to be getting better. I really feel so much better than I did before surgery and am now off my insulin and blood pressure medication. The only medication I take now are my vitamins and antacid. My goal is to be down a 100lbs by June and if I have anything to do about it I will get there. Have agreat evening and good luck... regards Barbara
