Topic: RE: I Fell !!!!!
Fay- Sorry you fell. I'm in MN and we had a nasty layer of ice laid down yesterday. It's like a skating rink out there, I'm always afraid of falling, but even more now.  Did you call your doctor or go in?  I keep thinking the pain I'm having on the left side is my muscle being strained from a few episodes of spitting up, but I'm not sure.  Something I know Advil would make better, but since I can't... UGH!! I knew I'd miss the Advil, but not so soon.

Thanks for all your replies. Shystermom -Sorry to hear you still have a drain, how come? I had one for a week.

Ok for those of you with pain still, is it only sometimes, or all the time? Mine I notice mostly when I sit up from lying , or get in or out of a car, things like that. Do you think the pain is muscular?

Topic: My 1 month hooray!!
Today I am 1 month post op and I am so happy!  I am down 34 pounds (including 2 week liquid) and have never felt better.  Every day I notice some small thing that is different.  Today my husband pointed out that I was able to tie my sneakers while sitting on the dining room chair.  I didn't have to prop my leg up on the bed and tie the bow on the side of my foot!!!

My husband had surgery on 2/28/08 and he is down 101 pounds.  I try very hard not to compare to him because we are different.  I'm proud of him and he is proud of me.  Hooray!!!!!

Have you tried laying on your side with a pillow half under you? The only way I can sleep on my side is if I have my body pillow to lay and lean into.

Meet the Surgeon Aug 1, 2011 .... hopefully the surgeons office is right and everything will go fast and I'll have surgery later this month.

Thanks so much for all your kind words.  I guess I was just really scared that I had hurt something or messed up my surgery.  I appreciate the kindness from each of you!  Hot showers and taking it easy the last couple of days have really helped - I'm feeling much better!

PS - I'll switch places with you any time!  Boston sounds great!  LOL.

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

I still have my drain in since my 12/9/08 RNY, so I am in pain on my left side all the time. But what can you do?  Just bad luck.  Hang in there.

Topic: Cellulitis?!?!
Lucky me -

I came down with a rash on my arm.  Or so I thought... turns out I have an infection!!  It's nowhere near the incision site so who knows how I got this one.

Weee- more drugs!!!

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
