Amazing!

Hi all! Well, yesterday I was 1 week post op. I am doing VERY well. The gas pains are almost gone. I have no other pain and have not needed to take any pain medication. It is truly AMAZING how much better I feel each day!!! I am amazed by how fast the body recovers. I was feeling so good I emailed my surgeon to ask when I could drive and he said "now" - I got dressed and took my oldest daughter to dance. Only 1 person there knew I had the surgery and she could not believe that only a week ago - I had my surgery / Lap RNY. I weighed myself yestertday and I am proud to report a 11.3 pound weight loss. I am doing good getting my protien / vitamins / supplements / water in. thanks for all your suport! hugs, Britt

That is great news Britt, very encouraging for those of us who are still waiting to go in! Good luck in the coming days and I'm sure it just get's better and better from here on out! Michelle

Michelle, Each day gets easier ! You will see for your self soon enough the 20th is days away - you are in my thoughts! Britt

You sound just like me!!!! Are we twins??? LOL Good for you! 11.3 lbs how awesome! I was actually getting hungry so I called Mary the nutrionist and she said to ass instant mashed potatoes to my broth. Not thick of course have to leave it soupie but darn it, that is so good. I used Orrington Farms Beef base and water and added the potato flakes and a splash of V8 and pepper, I died and went to heaven! Satisfied now. Glad you are doing so well I came back to work today! 1 week out today. Love Jackie
