Just wanted to introduce myself...

Hi there, I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I just had RNY surgery on June 10th at Methodist Hopsital. I am almost 2 weeks out and have lost 10 pounds since surgery day. I don't know if that is good or not, but it's 10 pounds I wouldn't have lost before! That makes me 20 out total so far as my pre op liquid diet made me lose 10 as well, but I don't notice it. Nothing fits better....I don't look any different.....I am waiting to notice those things, but in the meantime will just keep at all the liquids and walking! :-)    I have a few questions but will read some threads here first to see if they get answered! Nice to meet all of you Minnesotans and I will be back in here often! :-)

Welcome!  This is a great group and very talkative.  Sounds like you're ding well since your surgery.  I had mine 2 days after you so we're probably going through many of the same things.  I come here for the answers to all of my questions. 

Welcome........Ask any questions you want....That's what were here for.....Congrat's on choosing a healthy lifestyle, this is a wild ride so hang on tight.......And if I have one piece of advice for you, Stick to the program......I didn't and am having food issues, hopefully I'll be back on track soon. Good luck to you. Kelly

Hi! Nice to meet you! While I can't offer much advice on the RNY (I am a bander)... I can offer support....as can everyone here. You should also come to Park Nicollet's support groups. They are very, very helpful.
