4 week post op visit today

I have my 4 week check this afternoon, following my January sickness.

The good news is that yesterday I reached the weight I was on Jan 13!!! I was malnurished and dehydrated and very ill on Jan 13, today I am healthy and at this weight due to good nurishment and exercise.

I expect a good surgeon's check up with my lifting restrictions taken away.

I feel wonderful! I have only vomited once in the past month, due to eating too quickly and too much.
Yup- I still have to do the self talk- slow down, chew, chew,  put the fork down between bites.

Sounds like things have really turned around for you!  I'm so happy to hear you are feeling better!  AND.......look at your ticker go!!!!!!!!!!!  You are almost at goal!!!!! WOOHOO!!! 
Good luck with your appointment today!!!!!!!

Hope all goes well!  Glad to know you are feeling better.

I find that I have to do the self talk when I eat with other people, I'm fine on my own (living alone I eat to many meals alone) - but man, when I'm eating friends - I tend to follow their pace.

Glad to hear things are going much better for you!!!

I'm going to Frugal Suzy's in the am - have you ever shopped there?

Glad to hear everything is going better for you. to be happy and healthy is great. I still have the prob of trying to eat slow it just doesnt work..lol  ill try puting the fork down with every bite.

Frugal Suzies is wonderful. I found some great pieces of clothing there. Could kick myself for leaving one on the rack. It's probably gone now.

If you come down to Thomaston there's another consignment shop- Smarty Pants. Right on Route 1. She's got 2 floors of clothing.

My visit was great. The nurse weighs me in, "you weigh the same as last time".  I reply " I worked hard to get down to that weight again."  I'm not sure if she knew what to make of that reply. After my release from the hospital I was up 8 pounds.

I told Dr. Toder I felt WONDERFUL and that I do believe that at 4 weeks out from RNY something wasn't right and the blockage was brewing. She agrees. How I feel is the proper way RNY folks feel.

Dr. Toder also commented that I've lost a ton of weight and look like a million dollars!!!! wow! Pretty nice comments. I'm still smiling.

Toder totally believes in what she does, which is what makes her so good.

I'll have to check out Smarty Pants sometime, sound interesting - probably won't make it there today though, I have a friend going with me so I have to work with her schedule....hmmm....maybe after the next support group.
