Hello there..... I had my surgery June 18 Open RNY Starting weight: 287 As of today: 249 Loss of 38lbs.! I am thrilled about my weightloss....and hope to have it be more before I head back to the classroom in 3 weeks. Good luck everyone!

I had surgery the day before you and have lost 35. I lost 1# last week and just a few the week before. My doc says if you have lap RNY they fill you full of fluid and it takes a while to get rid of it. I'm hoping to start seeing some big increases but my goal is to lose 100, so I am more than 1/3 of the way. At any rate, its faster than I ever lost before. Susan

OMG I am so tired! I am 6 wks post op and went back to work this week. Several days I had to leave early and go home to sleep. If I last the whole day I am in bed by 8 or 9 and often take a nap when I get home. All of a sudden I have the dark circles under the eyes & never had that before. Today is Friday and I do feel better than I did on Mon so it must be getting better. My surgeon said you won't get your energy levels back for 3-4 months. I am trying realy hard with the protein and the fluids but I am too tired to exercise. By the time I deal with kids and dogs, work and everyday living, I don't have the energy. I am hoping the energy will come back enough that I can start exercising. Susan P.S. Just writing this message has worn me out. I may have to go home now! LOL
