1 Week out
Hi all My name is Ronda Dornemann I am 1 week out and will be going to Dr. Miles tomorrow to have my staples removed. Yeah, because they are about to itch me to death. I started at a weight of 300 and I will keep all informed of my progress as I go along this amazing journey to health I hope!!!!!! Oh By the way the Bariatric GI test to make sure there are no leaks was the worst for me.
Congradulations to you Ronda. I just had my staples out today and what a relief. I also got moved up to pureed foods. I have been on clear liquids since the 8th and my surgery was the 6th. I gained 20 lbs in the hospital and was told it was all the fluids that were going into me by the IV. Well I lost that and 20 more. I notice the inches more. I hope I hear great scores from you also. God Bless you and keep us informed. Cathy D
Ahhh, man I am really jealous I do not get to have pureed foods for another 2 weeks. Man. I got my staples out today no ifections although I did have one cut that did not on the surface close all the way and he put some stitch tape over it and told me to be careful. I am back to work today also. That is wonderful that you have lost 20 pounds. I as of surgery date April 11, 2005 have lost a whopping 12#'s It really is not as much as I would like to loose nut more than I have eer lost in a week anyway. Thanks soooo much for posting to me, I think these support and talks really help get through this whole thing. God Bless you also and please keep me informed of your progress also along your journey to better health. Ronda D.
