I am doing better. I don't know if you remember a week and a half ago I was complaining of a heavieness on my chest and I was vomiting. Well I had a blockage in my intestine. I had surgery and I am home now for the past week recovering. That was scary since I just had my RNY 9 days before. I hope no one else has to go through that.

I had the same surgery on the same day as you and love reading how good you are doing! I am looking forward to getting a drainage tube they had to put in me out tomorrow and then be able to do more without worrying about it. I have actually had people thinking I was crazy for having been out to kmart, walmart, military store, grocery store, etc. in the 4 full days I have been home. I felt up to it, didn't see any reason to sit at home and be bored with just walking around my road. I love reading of your shopping in San Antonio. I loved that town when we visited there a few years ago. Keep up the great progress!

that's wonderful! I have a gym membership too that I haven't used since my pre-op diet, and then I only did it for a few weeks. I need to get motivated, I'm going to use you for some inspiration.

Wow i feel like i have been given a 2nd chance at life
i am dropping the weight PRAISE THE LORD
and have dropped 15 lbs ... 8 on liquid diet and 7 since surgery.
My family can already tell in my face.
I am walking... in fact 2 days after surgery I went on a hard core walk of 6  hours of shopping
in the cool town of San Antonio... what a blast....
I am so happy to be on the losers bench finally

Shannon, glad you are doing well. 23 pounds is fantastic. don't get too discouraged.  We all lose at a different rate. the heavier you are the faster it will come off.  I haven't lost hardly any this week.  I think 3.4 pounds is all. So I know how you feel.
