ROLL CALL: December Patients, let's add it up!

I thought it might be fun to see all that had surgeries in December '08 and how much weight we've lost combine to-date!

I had Open Duodenal Switch on 12/23/08 and am currently down 22 pounds!

Running WL Total: 22 pounds

NEXT!!!

RNY on 12/18, down 26 lbs plus 8 I gained in hospital, total 34 but better only count the 26.

Awesome JJ!!! I did not count the IV fluid gain/loss either.

Running total: 48 pounds

I had RNY on the 22nd and am down 17 lbs.  I feel like the "loser" (in the wrong way) when I compare my totals to you two!  LOL 

Running total:  65 lbs?  Sound right?

Ohhh...don't feel bad at all about your loss!!! We are all so different in our body compositions, metabolisms, surgery types, etc. that we are going to lose at different rates.

17 pounds is a fantastic start!!!

Oh, I know that in my head.  I just have to admit that I am jealous of those of you with much better loss results so far!  LOL  I tend to be rather impatient when it comes to this sort of thing!!  :-)  I know it's a great start.  I'll catch up to you if I ever start getting the right calories/protein/liquids in!!  :-)  I'm working on it!

This is a fun one!  OK, I had Lap RNY on 12/8, and although my wl isn't as great as some, I'm happy.  My loss is 25 lbs.

Running WL Total: 90 pounds

Lap RNY on 12/11 - 21 lost since surgery (as of Tuesday)

RUNNING TOTAL :  101

I like this one! I closer to the end of the month (RNY 12/22) but I can "contribute" 14 pounds.
115

We are off by 10, so the total is 125!
