3 weeks out

Well today is 3 weeks after surgery including the pre surgery weight I lost today I have lost 25 lbs. started at 302 and now at 272.5 I just cant belive it!!! went on a date with my husband last night. dinner and a movie. went to our favoriate szsuan place he ordered a simple shrimp plate I has a few sips of soup and a few shrimp and chewed them very well. made sure they were pureed by my teeth before I swallowed them. didnt feel so good after that went to the bathroom thought I might be sick. it passed quickly and we went to see Hog Wildm(how funny). I had a nice time but was sad at the dinner thing, guess its to soon, a little direa today but much better. Last night standing in front of the mirror naked noticed that the dunlop in front is shrivling up. and this morning Al said WOW I can really see the weight loss in your face. well guys wanted to tell you how excited I was when I added the lost lbs Kelly

I know we don't know eachother but I read your message and just had to say congratulations! Take care, Carrie

Carrie, Thanks so much. you none of us knew each other in the begining and now we are all good friends. come have breakfast with us sometime and just keep writing that is how we get there Kelly

You are doing so great Kelly! You are in such a good place - the harder part behind you and the fun really is beginning. You are doing the right thing...going out having some fun and finding your way on what you can and can't eat. The most I ever felt when I was out was as you described, a bit queasy and it passed fairly quickly. I think it's good though to get on and get out, because it's helpful to learn that you can still do the things you enjoy. Before you know it you are navigating those events without getting that feeling, because you learn what you can and can't do. I can't wait to see you again. 25 pounds is a lot!! Patty

Hey patty thanks so much you have been such and ispiration to me. and a friend. Last night was so fun, today my husband drugg me to a boat place I think he is hopping for a new boat he needs to think again LOL. I have such a hard time saying no to him. I have to admit that it would be nice to have a boat that we dont have to work on so much. and it was really nice. I could scuba off of it to. I just feel so much better have more energy and feel hopeful about my future. wow its been a long time sence I felt that way. I love my life I have a great husband and kids. we make enough money to be comfertable so its good but the only thing that I hated was my body. and I have hope for that. anyway guess I will stay away from shrimp for a while. Today I had a bday thing for my mom bought cheap pizzas for everyone and I didnt even want to eat. licked my fingers after serving cake but that was it. and it went good thanks patty you Rock

Congrats, Congrats on your such success in 3 weeks. I am new to OH and my open RNY is scheduled for 4/10 - God willing. I live on the other side of OR - Nyssa, but I am enjoying reading the post. Again congrats on you current and future success Annie

Annie, congratulations on your date. Let us know how you are doing and if anyone here can help they will. I had my RNY on 4-10-06 so am almost 1 year out and have lost 131 pounds and am so pleased with how it is going. You will feel so much better. Julia

thanks annie. I have to admit that I didnt loose it all sence surgery I had a few pounds down before I was admitted. I as I think most of us are was afraid of not making it thru surgery to. But didnt have one single problem. you will be fine. Keep in touch with us on here it sure helped me during the process

Yah Kelly!!!!! you go girl ,that is so neat to start seeing the weight going so fast. Are, you going to the get together at Kims place on the 17th? Maybe I'll see you then. I'm so undecided on which sugery to have. When they say your stomach will hold this much in 3 years ,I'm thinking maybe a lapband made a little tighter would be more control over the streaching of the stomach with the R-N-Y. Jo Ann

I had to choose the RNY because that is all my insurance would pay for but I wanted it anyway. Mainly because I wanted the more extreme for the weight loss. I am determined to keep working on the control even after things streach out. what is going on at kims? she must not be to far from me she came to breakfast one day.
