LOL, 13 lbs is how much I lost in my first week too! LOL

Congrats!!!

I'm 2 days ahead of you, and I'm pretty good...just still have pain in my large incision, when I stand too long or get down on the floor...dumb move...lol

I'm only four days out so you've got me beat by a little bit!  lol  According to the scale at my mom's house I"ve already lost 10 pounds.  Totally not surprising being that the little bit I can eat is all liquid and not high calorie!  lol  If I could've done this before I wouldn't have needed surgery!

My first follow up is supposed to be at three weeks out but my doctor is on vacation then so my follow up won't be until the 21st of January (at 4 weeks)  I'll let you know how that goes!

Keep up the good work and remember to sip, walk and get that protein in!

Well I am officially one week post op and had my follow up appointment... if you can call it that, they weighed me, asked about the medicines, kinda checked my incisions and then off they went.

Anyways I have officially lost 13 lbs in one week!!!! I am so excited. I can see it in my face.

How are all the other postopers doing?

Hi!  I was also RNY on 12/22 and have been on clear liquids only until tomorrow when I can start full liquids (adding milk, protein drinks, yogurt, sf pudding, hot cereal to the regiment).  I see the nut again on 12/30.  She only told me the diet until that point but I think I may be starting on purees after I see her.

I'm doing pretty well on the liquids.  I'm not much into clear broth, but I'm drinking Wylers drinks, Nestles green tea, water and ice pops.  I'm driving myself crazy with trying to get the timing and amount of sips correct (first 2 days was 1 oz per hour; yesterday and today are 2 oz per hour).  Hard to make an ice pop last for an hour!!! 

im glad u are doing good..i just had my surgery too..on the 10th...my nurses were pretty good but they took a while too to get to me..i think all places are like that..i could be wrong but from what i see..anyways congrats
