Exactly 11 weeks out today.

Surgery for open RNY was on 8-8-06. I am feeling great. I still have to eat small amounts and chew well. Getting protein in first. I take my vitamins daily and drink as much as I can. I have lost 39 pounds total. Some pre- sugery most after. I get alot of walking in each day...so far so good.

Congrats Sue...sounds like you are doing GREAT! Im 8 wks out and mys scale is moving slowly...but hey atleast its moving again!

I'm 11 weeks out too and down 57 lbs. I just realized that today and was stunned. 57 sounds like so much. I have a goal being below 200 by my birthday (end of Feb.). That's only about 7 lbs. a month so I think I'll make it alright and maybe a little extra. The weight has really slowed but still loosing lots of inches. Congratulations with your loss and keep up the good work. Carol

Congratulations!!!!!! That is awesome!! It is such a wonderful feeling!! I am 10 weeks out tomorrow and have lost 40lbs as of 10-24, I refuse to get on that scale again until next week (and it is killing me)...... trying to break myself from weighing everyday. Congrats, Jen

Hi Ladies, Im new to this forum. Usually hang out on the mens board. But I started to feel I needed to talk to people who had surgery around the same time as me. I had my RNY on 8-8-06. I have lost so far 70 lbs as of yesterday. So all of you ladies are doing wonderful. Good to see everyone else doing great. I keep on thinking I am not doing well at times. But I have read a few past post and I know I am doing the right things. Keep up the great work. Tommy
