How are all of my December 2008 friends doing?

Happy New year!  Thats awesome!  Esp. for lap band..isnt that one a little slower rate and ongoing?  I have lost 23lbs since surgery on the 22nd and feel good about that...Im having an issue with not seeing it at all but other people see it so that makes me feel better...Keep uop the good work!

thanks Jennifer, I appreciate your kind words.  Looks like you're doing well too!  I agree about seeing the difference in ourselves.....it takes time to rid our minds of the excess poundage but it will happen (I am confident of that).  take care and talk to you soon,
Rob

Happy New Year, Rob and fellow Decemberans!  I lost 16.8 from surgery to 1st appt (1 week) but doc explained it would definitely slow down!  Next appt is Tuesday so I'll find out then.  I plan to only weigh myself once a week and not make myself crazy and a slave to the scale.

I was starting to feel really fantastic, but I sent back to work on Friday and a wave of neausea and dizziness overcame me.  Today (Sat) I'm also feeling the same - nauseaus and very tired.  But I know it'll get better.  Perhaps I'm just drinking too fast.

Hey Rob and All the December folks!  Happy New Year!!  It's so good to hear how you all are doing.  I'm doing ok, down 20 pounds as of last monday, but I'll weigh again tomorrow.  I did measurements last night (going to do that 1x a month) and I've lost 18 inches...!  I've had some periods of nausea, but I'm finally starting to be able to get all my water in, and my protein is around 60-70 a day.  Congrats to all of you...you are a constant source of inspiration and encouragement!!  Good luck on the continuing process!

Best,

Fay

Down 22 lbs here since my RNY on 12/9/08. But I have a leak and am still wearing my drain ****il February probably).

Me again!  I think I'm finally getting the hang of sipping, so the only problem I have is tolerating these horrible protein drinks!

I had my 2nd weigh in today.  Last week (1 week out) I lost 16.8 lbs.  This week (2 weeks out, 1 week on pureed foods), I GAINED 1 lb   Doc said not to worry, tho; that its normal going from nothing but liquids to double or triple the amount of calories and its part of the process of the body getting adjusted.  I am now on soft food stage and am told that I should be losing again from this point.  He expects me to lose another 15 by my next visit in 4 weeks.

Another Lap Bander........YAY!!!!  Great job keep up the good work.  I had my first post-op appointment with no fill and my next appointment is next week can't wait to see how the fills go!!!
