6 weeks TODAY!

Hi, I had RNY on December 19th. Dr. Rumsey was my surgeon in San Diego. I saw him for my follow-up appointment and he told me I am a text book patient. I have lost 44 pounds and have had no problems. I cant eat fish or any meat yet as it hurts. but I do fine on Saleds and soups, yogurt and my protien drinks. I walk 3 miles a day and feel great. I will be returning to work on the 10th of Feb. that will be the real test. I am a truck driver and am worried about not getting enough exercise. We will just have to wait and see.

Congratulations Floyd! I'm only up to one mile a day lol. my surgery was 12/12/03. I know I need to up that exercise though! my weight loss will kick up as soon as I do i'm sure. I'm also pretty much {so far knock on wood} a text book patient. I cant eat pork or beef, I did try bacon that was Ok. but like pork chops and anything beef doesnt settle well in my stomach. And I'm too chicken to try salad even though I love salads. I use the Unjury protein drink, it's not very thick at all and Not chalky. took a few drinks to get used to though. I've lost 30 lbs so far. Good luck going back to work hun! Hugs Penny
