I'm glad you are doing so well and thank you for sharing. I have my surgery June 2 and it is so helpful when those who have gone before share their experiences. Keep up the good work.

I had my surgery 4/29 and as of this morning have lost 15 lbs. I'm using FitDay to track my calories...getting in an average of about 750. I'm not having trouble getting the protein in, but the water is another story. I usually average about 42 oz or so, but I'm trying. I had open surgery, which is still very tender and hurts if I'm up and around too much, so I haven't started walking in earnest yet. I think when I am about 4 weeks out my body will tolerate it a little better. I found my binder from my tummy tuck I had years ago and that has been helping support my incision (which is mostly healed...the steri strips haven't all fallen off yet). Good Luck to everyone!

Hi- my surgery was April 17th. I was 275 the day of surgery- yesterday was 258. So that's 17lbs also! Doing well- some things fill me up too quickly I think. I have tried bread 3 times- doesn't agree with me. It's all learning and trial and error. I walked 3.6km with the dog yesterday. Briskly! It's still freezing up here in my neck of the woods! BM's ok, wounds all fine- struggle to get enough protein in daily. No trouble with the liquids. Burp A LOT more than I used to. Arthritis aches and pains less already. Sleep well- no pain. Had Lap RNY. Cheers!

Progress check time! Looking for those of you with April 2008 RNY dates. Thought I would check on your progress but so many of you havent updated your profiles. Come on guys we need to share info and support eachother! I was hoping to compare notes. Hope all is going well. My RNY was 4/16 started at 242 I am down about 17 pounds post op. How are you doing? If your willing to share starting and current numbers I would love to compare notes.

I had the lap RNY on 4/15 and I am down about 30lbs as of today. I am on solids now and tollerating most well. Only dumping I had was with Applesauce of all things..
