2 weeks post-up

hi , i had my surgery 2 weeks ago. the first week to me was a little hard, but i am doing better with NO regrets. i went to dr today and i weighed 331lbs before surgery, and i have lost down to 298lbs. 33lbs of that fat gone. Praise God.

That is wonderful. I had surgery on 12/9 and I am not doing so good. I have lost 28 lbs. I am kinda discouraged. Sounds like you are doing great!

I think 28 lbs in less than three weeks is awesome. I had my surgery on the 26th with a pre-op weight of 287. I left the hospital at 303. I've already dropped eight of the 16 lbs I gained in the hospital and am thrilled. Count your blessings. You're doing wonderful.

Lisa, you are doing great. Remember to put it in perspective. Don't compare your weight loss with hers unless you weighed exactly the same as she did when she had her surgery. My surgeon says that a successful loss is when you lose 30 pounds in your first month and you are certainly going to do that.

Lisa I had surgery on 12-17-03 and I have lost 25LBS I to was discouraged and then I thought to my self before surgery it would have taken me months to lose that amount of weight so I am not stressing on that any more I am off all of my diabeties Meds and I feel great. you are doing great just keep up the good work 28LBS gone forever you go girl and remeber everyone lose at a diffrent rate.Wasia PS: remeber you are losing inches LOL LAP RNY Dr,Waldrep 12-17-03 304/279/???

You are doing wonderful! I had my surgery on 12/18 and have lost 24 lbs. so far. Isn't it awesome to know that we will not be that weight ever again. Keep it up!

I am also two weeks post op with surgery on 12/18. I went to the doctor on tuesday and had lost 15.8 pounds. I was elated that never again would I see that weight I had once been. Keep up the great work

Melissa; I also had surgery on 12/18 Open RNY, and just got on the scale this morning and down 24#. I wanted to shout from the roof tops. Judi

lisa you are doing great. 28lbs is great. if i would had lost 1 lb i would have been happy. keep your head up and i bet the next time you go back to dr it will triple in weight loss. you are really doing good. i was amazed and cried and said THANK YOU JESUS!!!! You just keep the faith and know that you will keep losing. i bet you feel better don't you. i am here if you need me. you can write me anytime. we are all a big family and the support is an absolute...your friend Nada Shatley

Hi Nada, Wow that is A Great loss!!! My surgery was on dec. 12th and I'm down to 261 {this morning} from 280 on the 12th! I'm comfortable with the pace it's coming off. My rings are slipping around my fingers and my bras {thank goodness!} are feeling bigger around! YAHOOIE! I've not had any complications as of Yet. and Hopefully wont. I cannot express how much I wish I had done this surgery sooner like, when I was in my mid 20's but hey now is better than never! you're doing great sweety, keep up the good work and keep us posted! Lots and lots of hugs! Penny
