I am a 5 weeks+ post op. As of last week I have lost 29 lbs. I was a little disappointed, thinking I would have lost more. My husband brought me back to reality when he said when was the last time I lost a pound a day? I guess he is right!! I do feel great! I have lost most of the nausea and vomiting. I am now able to eat a more regular diet, just limited portions. The extra energy I already feel makes me wonder think of how great it will be as the additional lbs drop off. Although this is not an easy road, it is much easier than the road I was on. I have had some days when I wasn't feeling too great, but all in all, it has been an easy transition.

I am a little over 5 weeks post op. My last weigh in was 2 weeks ago & I was down 29 lbs. I was a size 28-30 I am down to 22-24. Can't wait for more to keep coming off. Its not always easy, but the results are well worth it. Congrats on your success, stay in touch

I had Open RNY on 6/24/03, one week out I lost 12, the second week I lost 8, the 3rd week I lost only 1. Doc says it is from not drinking enough water, not walking. So I am struggling to get the water down and the past 2 days I have walked about a mile each day. He told me that the body goes into starvation mode and starts thriving on what it already has to sustain it, and that the water and 6 small meals daily will help. I am eating "Cracker Snackers" because they have lots of protein and salt, which makes me want to drink more. Kind of a "cause and effect"!! Good luck and I will keep you posted on how this works for me!
