open rny 7/25/03

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am doing great. I have done so well, its just amazing. Alot of people say that I dont look like I had surgery. I have lost 28 lbs in 2 weeks. I am fitting into clothes that I haven't been able to wear in 2 yrs. Almost like having new clothes. I have met my first goal of 250. Hope everyone else is doing good. I haven't had much head hunger but I am so bored with the full liquid diet. I can't wait to have some chicken or tuna friday, which is my 3rd week mark. woohoooo!!!! Take care, hugs and prayers, Paula

HI Paula, you are doing great! The first few weeks are the hardest but you seem to have come through it just wonderful. There might be times where you get discouraged but hang in there, things do and will get better, or so im hoping. LOL Think positive!

Hi Paula, I had my open RNY on 07/24 and I'm doing great as well. I flucuated between 34-38 lbs, feels like I'm retaining water, so I'm really pushing the water issue. I'm on solid foods and am doing fine on them, just have to remember to eat slowly and small bites. People are noticing, but it seems like it's going slowly to me...haven't really gotten into the exercise thing yet, don't feel like I've got the energy back yet for that (could be an excuse tho....LOL) I feel great tho, doesn't even feel like I've had surgery....bounced back really quickly.
