3-Weeks Post Op :-)

Hi all -- I'm 3 weeks post op, surgery on 10 March -- lap RNY-- had my first follow-up appointment yesterday...lost almost 30 lbs...I'm excited! Started at 235 (5'2")....feeling great...visited my daughter in Orlando last weekend, walked around Disney World for 2 days...never would have believed it so soon after surgery!! How's everything going with y'all other March folks??

WOW that is great. I am one of the very slow loser. Only 14 pounds in my first 2 weeks.......

Deborah - I'm a surgery buddy date with you! I had almost 100 lbs on you and have only lost 17 lbs so far (haven't weighed today though), so you are doing absolutely fantastic. I just can't wait to get out of this stall I've been on for the last week! Dina

That is an awesome loss. You have already done one of my fantasies -- to go to one of the Disney parks and walk around without feeling like I'm dragging my body around, or it's dragging me around, or something like that! Gano

Hi, Congrats to my 3 week buddies! I'm 3 weeks post op, too. Surgery was March 12, also lap RNY. I haven't had my follow-up yet--scheduled for April 7th. I've lost 26 pounds by my home scale. I'm very happy with the results and feeling great. I started at 244.5 (5'5"). I went back to work after two weeks, and I've had one dumping episode. Won't do that again! I compulsively ate a handful of spiced cashews. Dumb, but I've learned my lesson. Glad I didn't damage my pouch. Back on soft eggs and cottage cheese type meals until I see Dr. Kurian. Keep up the great work!

Wow that is a great loss.... I had my surgery on the 19th and ten days later I had lost 16lbs....but I lost 22lbs before surgery....... My doctor had us go on liquids before surgery and I an wondering if that is why my first weight loss is not so good?? Well I guess losing 38lbs is good.....but should I be lossing more???? Donna
