5 Weeks Post OP

I had my RNY surgery on September 14 and I have lost 19 pounds so far. I know I am a slow loser, but that is okay. At least I am losing instead of gaining. I do not very much energy, but I started water aerobics today and I am tired. When I started this journey I weighed 300 pounds at Dr. Duncan's seminar. Once I saw Dr. Duncan for my intial appointment I weighted 284. Then when I had my surgery I weighed 265. Now today I weight 246. I can not tell you this last time I weighted less than 250 pounds. It is such a great feeling. There are days when I truly miss food, but I can't say that I truly miss this weight I have lost. I have been very blessed with a wonderful supportive husband and my online support group here at Obesity Help. Sheila

Great job! I totally know the under 250 !!! I have not seen that in a good 8 or 9 years. I hit under 250 2 weeks ago, and weighed in at my 6.5 week check up today at 241.5.... I am no longer Morbidly Obease.... My BMI is now 39.5.. I was totally excited...!!! Good luck Connie

It is so good to hear from you and know you are okay. I still have your nutrition papers if you still want them. Just let me know. Hugs, Debra

Sheila!! How FABULOUS!!!! I am soooo looking forward to under 250... I am about 6 pounds away!! I am soooo proud of you!! Life is good girl!! -Tami
