2 Weeks out

I had my lap RNY 10/20/04 and am doing very well. I have lost 13 pounds to date. I am a bit tired, but I am almost back to my regular schedule. I do accounting work at home, and have been working since a few days after I got home from the hospital. Of course, my office is next door to my bedroom. Not far to go. When I get tired, I just quit for awhile! Probably the hardest thing for me to date is getting used to sipping instead of guzzling. Can't guzzle anymore - not enough room for it to go to. So now I take baby sips from my water bottle!!! I am so happy I have had this surgery. I don't miss any food at all - yet!! Carolyn

Hi Carolyn, I'm glad to here you are doing so well. Small sips and small bites when the time comes!! Good Luck to you!! Sherrie -23

Glad to hear that you are doing so well. I am enjoying my time off, but I go back Monday!! On accident a couple days after surgery I took a gulp of water and I was panicking..just waiting for something to happen and it never did, I was so excited. So now I can drink my water a little faster and get in more in a day. Now food is a whole different story....Yuck!! Jennifer -22 (-38.5 since July) 237/222/198.5/135

Hi Jennifer, Glad to hear you are doing so good also. Maybe I will be able to drink water faster soon too - I hope!! Good luck with your going back to work. It's always hard to go back when you've been enjoying the time off!! And congratulations on your loss! Carolyn

I had my surgery on the 20th also, but mine was open. I won't be going back to work for a couple more weeks. You are lucky to be feeling so good so soon. I feel good, but I know that I had surgery. I am happy that I had the surgery as well, and also don't crave any foods. Best of luck to you! Barb

Hi carolyn I'm also 2wks out my date was on 10/26. So far I'm doing ok I had open so it was painful at first. The hard thing for me is I'm confused on how much to eat and what to eat, but I don't miss any of the food just the pepsi. I hope all goes well for you and I wish us luck. Jessica
