How is everyone doing today?

Just wanted to see how everyone is doing today? For myself I am ok, better each day. Other than this darn ulcer I have gotten since my RYN... Just checking on all of you guys..... Positive thinking GETS U positive Results! Kat

Hi Kat I am doing ok as well. I am sorry to hear that you got an ulcer hope everything goes well with that. I am trying to think positive everyday but sometimes it is hard. I am one of the many people that has said to themselves what have I done but I think of the end result and it goes away. Let me say that the recovery time is hard hard hard. So I am looking forward to the time when I can be excited about what I did.

Pam let me add that I thought the same thing, it gets better each day, the brain Hunger will make u think that, believe me! Now 3 weeeks tomorrow No! Brain HUnger at all, makes me sick too see someone eat anything.... Positve Gurl, it will work out 4 you and all of us other's.... your Friend Kat

i am doing ok, aside from the fact that i am having a real hard time eating. i don't get sick or anything like that, just have this constant FULL feeling that doesn't go away and the sight of food just turns me off. i am going to try to do better today, only got in about 200 calories yesterday and way off on protein. did ok with liquids, guess thats a plus. i just hate this feeling, i want to feel "normal", but i guess that will come in time. hugs~mary jo

Mary Jo, I know the feeling, makes me sick too think of food, or see someone eat........ I will gag! I'm sure this will subside in time! Think positive GURL, we are on the other SIDE NOW, No turning back........ Kathy

I'm doing ok, I guess- a little depressed though because I had put my scale away for about a week and took it out this morning and have only lost about 1/2 a pound... Also I went back to work part time yesterday and it made me really sore by the end of the day. I have to go back to work now, and I really don't want to, so I'm kind of depressed, but I need the money! I just have to keep working through it and find some "Positive thinking" like you said!

Stacy; I ahve those days, but I remember I did this not too be small but healthly! As for work, I don't but want too, Looking for a JOB Monday. Look as it as an accentive, walking, exercise. Remember POSIIVE RESULTS GET US WHAT? smile GOD loves you! Kathy

HI all im doing fine. After a few days straight of no weight loss i dropped 2 lbs yesterday yeah me. SORRY to hear some of you are blue. I got some MAJOR problems going on in my life too. HANG in their and were on the way to good health! ((HUG)))) LISA

I wish I could say I am doing great... Still suffering some nausea, and coming off of a (now I learn this!) highly addictive medication. Between the two, I have been barely able to keep anything down. I know that this is temporary and things will get better. That's about all I can cling on to at the moment. I came to a funny conclusion last night... anyone else notice any parallels between WLS and pregnancy? It struck me that I just need to get through the "first trimester" of my recovery period, and I'll feel so much better. Nicole 6/7/05 - Lap RNY 312/274/150

I am doing pretty good. I am thinking about food alot and wishing I could overeat sometimes. Silly as it sounds I miss it!! Afterall, I used food as my best friend for years. But when I think it all the way through, I know it is time to put food in its proper place in my life, so I can be healthy and enjoy all the things in life that I have only wished for for so so long. We are all so new to this and are apt to have good times and not so good times. I pray for all of you that are suffering a bit today. I am so very greatful for my pretty much uneventful recovery so far. I go for my 1 month post op visit tomorrow and am excited to see how much I have lost. I stopped weighing as I felt I was getting too obsessed with the numbers. When I had a gain of 4, I cried all day. So I hope it will be a good surprize when I get on the scale. Love to all, Diane
