Hey guys, This surgery has been wonderful! I was an active pre-op , but now I feel so much lighter on my feet. I am running 2 miles a day and feel awesome. I had my surgery on June 16th and am down 60 lbs. I havent been even close to perfect on the water/protien kick, but I balance that by taking my supplements, eating sensibly " again, not perfect" and working out really, really hard.. I mean shirt soaking hard! WLS is awesome!

Thanks, hope your having a great day! Donna E.

Karen, Don't get too hung up on the # on the scale. It is just one of the many ways we can measure success as the continue on our journey. I have stayed the same weight for 2 weeks; however, my clothes are getting looser every day. I got out a pair of shorts a couple of weeks ago and they lacked about 3 inches on coming closed. I tried them on again this morning and only lacked about an inch of getting them buttoned. That is progress. Look at how your clothes feel, your energy level, etc. Good luck. By the way, I think you are doing super! Nancy Lap RNY: 6-21-04 Blockage repair: 6-23-04 310/270/122
