Topic: RE: 7 weeks Post Off & Still Healing
You have to heal first .. When you can then get out and start walking.. but the most important thing is making sure you are ready. Tell us more about what you can do and eat so far.... I am sorry things didn't go as they should have for you... but at least you are on the way now! I am just 6 weeks post-op and have been eating really well until this past week.. now everything wants to make me sick.. ewwwww... getting to where I'd rather skip the meal than deal with it.

Connie-
We must have had our surgeries about the same time since I am also 7 wks out. I am so sorry you had a leak and are having to go thru so much. What are they telling you? Are you feeling okay? Are you losing weight? I am down 36 lbs and I exercise very little I hate to admit. I, luckily, have had no real problems and feel great. I hope things improve for you!
Take care-
Renee
Topic: 7 weeks Post Off & Still Healing
Hello everyone,
I was a "leaker" and had emergency surgery the next day. But I am still healing and not able to eat or drink or even exercise at the level everyone else is doing. Any suggestions? Thanks a whole lot!
Topic: RE: wow! I am losing. Eating?
I had my lap rny on 8/19/03. I have lost 49 lbs as of yesterday (7 weeks). I am still on mostly soft foods, some chicken. But the past couple of weeks I haven't been able to eat much at all and my loss has slowed tremendously. I walk 2 miles every day, 5 miles 3 times a week. I feel great.
Topic: -38lbs 7 weeks postop
I am 7weeks out and 38 lbs are gone forever. I am so happy. I am eating no more than 800 calories per day/no more than 20 carbs/day and walking 2 miles per day and this weight is just falling off of me.. I am so happy w/my decision to have this surgery!!
Topic: RE: wow! I am losing. Eating?
I had my surgery 08/12 and I have lost 53 pounds. I am eating high in protein and trying to stay active and drink alot of water. It is great. I had a slow down in weight loss during week 3-4 but it picked up after that. I eat 2-3 times a day sometimes it is meat and sometime maybe just a small snack. IT is great

I miss food too sometimes.. or the idea of food... the comfort and satisfaction it used to give me. We really are better off here though.. YES thank the Lord for WLS! How is it going now that you are 2 months post-op?

How is it going now Jennifer? I went through a lull in my loosing week 3 and week 4 I had very small losses.. but there are weeks when you just don't loose.. in the end it all comes together... keep walking and getting in your protein.. those are the BIG keys!

Topic: RE: wow! I am losing. Eating?
I am eating regular foods and shooting for high protein like everyone else.. I am 5 1/2 weeks out down 43 pounds and walking 4 miles a day for excersize. My week 3 and week 4 I had very little loss so I increased my walking and I am back to loosing again. Venison is very high in protein and is one of my favorite meats so I am eating that 3 or 4 times a week. I also use jerky if I need a snack or sometimes I just eat it for a meal. Pure protein.. and it is an excersize in chewing as well... chew chew chew...
