Holly: Thank you for the kind words. My sister passed away early Sunday morning and her funeral was on Tuesday. It's been a very emotional time, but we are happy that her suffering is over. I have lost track of what I am supposed to be doing for myself, but will soon get back on track with planning and recordkeeping. I go back to work for half days starting on Monday, so I need to get some type of routine worked up! Saw my surgery team on Wednesday and despite all else that is happening, they are happy with my progress. They assured me that although I am not at optimum intake for protein, calories, and fluids, the range I am in is not considered unhealthy (yet!). I have a medical background, so I do know the things to watch for that can stem from missing out on the things that are important to my diet right now. I went ahead and started on B12 dots and calcium citrate chews, which is a decision they supported. Normally their plan is to start on the supplements at 6 weeks out, where I am only 4. How are things going for you? I believe we had our surgery the same day (9/13). Take care and thanks again for touching base with me. It meant a lot! Hugs :: Kim

I had my surgery on 9/25 and my incision seems to be healing pretty well but there's some clear fluid still leaking from it. Is this normal?

I went and got my hair done, I couldn't walk long distances but i felt good. I had the RNY done

Heyyyy I was sip sip sipping the first 3 weeks or so. I have found lately I can drink a lot more when I haven't eaten in a while. I still don't guzzle, but I'm drinking a lot more than when I was first out.

I know how you feel I had my surgery on 9/11, I was 341, now I am stuck at 317! I have been stuck for about 7 to 10 days too. I know it gets kinda depressing but you need to just have faith in what was done and what your doing and eating your protein and getting in your water. The rest will go as it has. I seriously know what your talking about I have been really frustrated too but I am trying to just have some faith in the process.
