4 week post op visit

well today i went for my 4 week post op visit and i am down 25lbs!!!! Gone and never seeing again!!! I have been having some problems with vomitting but the dr wants to twait another week to see if i have a restriction, so lets hope it goes away and its just swollen from vomitting. I am starting to believe that this is exactly what i needed and that my journey has just begun. Thank you all for all your wonderful help and advice i couldnt ask for better friends that i am making.

Thats great news, Jessica!  Keep up the good work.  Hopefully the vomiting will ease up.

I just had my 4 weeks post op and like you, I am down 25 lbs...whoo hooo our lucky number....we're on our way!  I havent had any vomiting but have issues with acid and foamy reflux.  Like your doc,  we are watching it for a few more weeks.

We can get over these speed bumps in the road,  I beleive that they are speed bumps not road blocks to our success

Wow that is our lucky number go us!!!! No this is just a hurdle that we will overcome and with the support and talking and getting over it will make it that much easier and well worth it. It feels great i neve ever want to see those 25 lbs on me again

Way to go !  Sounds like you are doing really well.

Jessica -

TERRIFIC!!! 
You are doing so great! 
I will see you at the next meeting!

Jessica,

The change in the tones in your posts are amazing, as are you.  You are doing an unbelievably fantastic job considering how rocky your start was.  Congratulations.

I hope you aren't developing a stricture - stick with fluids if you need to for al ittle while longer.

Great to have you as part of the "group"

Hi Jessica
 I am so haapy for you and proud of you. You are doing a wonderful job. You must believe & love yourself in order to succeed. When you vomit pay attention to what you ate before and then just let your pouch rest with liquids only. Hope to see you at the meeting next Wednesday.
Good LUck

Thank you and that is what i am trying to do is "love me" never have before so i am getting it back slowly but thats ok. My head is going to be held high and i am not giving up.

Yes I have been on liquids really for the past couple of days because of whats going on. The dr. said i might just be swollen from throwing up alot so to give myself a rest for a couple fo days. Resting the pouch it is, no pickles for me lol

It sounds like you're doing great, except for the vomiting, of course - blech! but your weight loss is wonderful and you're on your way!! Take it one day at a time bu****ch that vomiting thing - and follow doctor's orders.

Congratulations on 25 fluffy pounds being gone forever!
