A Word Of Encouragement!

Hi, I had my RNY Lap on Tuesday, April 27; only three weeks ago. I dieted pretty good about 5 weeks prior to surgery. I was in the hospital until Friday, April 30. When I went home and quit taking the pain meds I had a miraculous recovery. By Monday, I had walked one mile. I went back to work the following week. I don't know for sure how much weight I have lost. As of one week after surgery, I was down 54 lbs. from the time I started dieting. I do know that two months ago I wore a size 62 pants. Monday, I played golf in size 52 jean shorts which are equivalent to about a regular 54. I was wearing a 5x pull over but Monday I wore a 3x which fit very comfortably. I give credit first of all to my Heavenly Father and to the ability he has given my Doctor. I hope by Christmas to break into a new area of sizes.. like in the low 40's. I am able to get all my water in, walk 45 mins daily, and getting most of my 60g of protein. If I can help with anyone or encourage you.. feel free to write. God bless you!

Congrats Greg!!!!! You are doing SO good! Wow! Out playing golf already! And already wearing smaller clothes! You are truly inspirational! Shelli

Greg, Thanks for sharing your tremendous success story. Its only going to get better from here! I too had lap rny on 4/27. I haven't needed pain meds since day three. I'm not up to your lenght of walks...but I'm getting there and know I will. Thanks for the encouragement! Rachel

Congratulations Greg. What a great job you've done! My surgery was one day prior to yours. I go back to work the 6th of June. Actually, looking forward to returning. Keep us updated. This is truely inspirational! Thankyou for posting!

Fantastic!!!! I am so happy for you that your experience has been a good one. My surgery was on April 19th, and my experience has also been so much better than I could have anticipated. May I ask how you are getting in 60 grams of protein? Keep up the good work. Bernadette In Minnesota -38
