ONE month Post op today

I feeling FINE. I am down 22.4 lbs. I can eat almost anything only in much smaller amounts. Life is good

One month out yesterday for me. (LAP RNY 8/13) I'm down 21.8 lbs and I can eat pretty many things also as long as it's chewed REALLY well and smaller amounts. No red meat tho. Haven't tried that yet. Kind if scared of it because I don't want to get anything stuck. Love my chicken & fish and I'm lovin that scale movement too!! Yes, Life IS Good!!!

Hi, I am 1 month out today, but was 4 weeks out last wednesday. I am mainly going by weeks and not months though cause of my food progression goes by weeks. I am still on soft foods, and prefer to eat soups. I like the campbells chunky soups because they are more food than soup, LOL I had my 1 month post op appt yesterday and I have lost 23lbs. I no longer hate my decision to have surgery and am not crying everyday anymore. I am happy I had my surgery!! Oh I had Open RNY.

My one month out was last Friday. I lost 20lbs before and exactly 20 lbs after. I wi**** was more like most of us, but I know there is more I could be doing to help that out. I do not get in as much exercise and I wi**** will help dramatically once we get out of this 100+ degree tempeture we have had here in Arizona for the past 4 months. It is getting old. Even my poor dogs look at me as we are walking going, can we go home yet? LOL. Was looking at a picture of me at my high, and I'm laughing that no one asked if I was pregnant. Too funny. Love to keep hearing from each of you as you hit your one month out. Here's to all of our continued success.

I am down 18.5 lbs. I also wi**** were faster for me but what can I do. I just hope my stalls do not continue! Maya

Today I am 3 weeks 1 day post op and wanted to say congrats to you guys for all your work. I have had so many mixed emotions of this surgery. I miss food terribly. I want a big juicy cheeseburger. I don't want sweets just real food. I am down 22 pounds since the day of surgery and before surgery I had to lose 20 pounds so actually 42 pounds from my high weight. Thank you God! I am still on the fence about having the surgery done, but everytime I see someone that hasn't seen me for awhile and they can tell, it makes me more and more glad that I did this. Thanks for listening and please feel free to send me a message and we can compare and maybe swap recipes. Chris

Hello, I had surgery on August 14th. I have lost 48 lbs altogether; 20 before and 28 since. I am not doing well though, or doing it right. I get practically no protein in and hardly any liquids. Feeling not so hot. I am glad everyone else is doing so well, huge congrats!!! T

Hi All I am new to this board - Usually on the Calif board. I am 4 weeks and 5 days out today. Lap RNY on 8/20. I am doing awesome. Still on the soft/mushy stage but have not had one problem what so ever. I am getting in all my protein , but sometimes the water is a struggle. I have lost 33 lbs since surgery and am truly loving life. I am so so so happy I had this surgery and I keep kicking myself that I didn't do it sooner. I am looking forward to communicating with all of my August surgery sisters and brothers. Yeh for us.

I am one month and ten days post op. I had RNY on august 15th, 2007. I was 210 the day of surgery and am now 185. So, 25 lbs is great. My doctor said this is normal, but I need to know does anyone else feel seriously depressed? I've been having these sudden feelings. When I think about it, I know I'm being irrational and this is effecting my marriage. Is this just a side effect as my doc says? anyone?
