Well it's been two weeks since I had my RNY Surgery, and I'm really doing well.  Although I really getting tried of drinking the protein shakes, I'm still hanging in there.  I haven't been on a scale to see if I've lost any weight, but I can look at my face and tell that it seems to be smaller.

Two weeks before surgery my weight was 302, and the day of surgery I was at 287.  That's was an accomplishment.

You are right that was quite an accomplishment.  I am sure that you have lost weight. Sometimes the scales are not your friend.  Remember that the fit of your clothes and your mirror are better judges!!  Good Luck.

You are so very right. You had already done a wonderful job even before surgery, and it's sounds like the work continues.

Keep it up and let us know how you are doing.

Wishing you continued success,

Barb

Unfortunately, I had to delete this message due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

It sounds like you're handling the changes well, and I'm sure you have lost weight.  Especially if you can already see it in the mirror.  Isn't that exciting?  :)  I know the protein shakes get boring, but you'll be adding some foods in no time.  :)  Congrats on a successful surgery!
