Venturing over to hang with you guys

Hi, I wanted to venture over to the New York board. I am 4 1/2 weeks post-op and have been hanging over on the main board, but I decided I want to do both! I had my surgery at Chilton Hospital in NJ, and have lost 26 lbs. as of this morning. Nice to meet all of you. Eileen RNY 03/30/05 290/264 -26

Welcome aboard! I tend to hang on this board and on the March surgeries board (had mine 2 days before you). I've lost 26 since the surgery and had lost 10 pounds pre surgery. How's everything going for you? Your weight loss is really good. I'm having minor stumbling blocks with some food issues, but I know they will pass. Cheryl

Hi Cheryl. Everything is going ok for me. I have had no food issues. I've been very cautious though. I have managed to eat chicken, and beef with no problems. I haven't eaten an egg, but egg beaters go down ok. I was a bit concerned because I had never felt that "full" feeling, but on the Main Board someone just told me that somwhere around 6-7 weeks out, our nerve endings will make us feel that full feeling. Up until now, I am eating no more than the doctor said. I measure it all and stop when I'm done. I am getting in about 80 grams of protein, (105 gr. yesterday!) and about 100 oz. of liquids a day. This week I really want to start on the exercise. Eileen RNY 03/30/05 290/264 -26
