Slow Loser, but Loser Nonetheless!!!

I'm 12 days post-op and down 15 pounds. It feels really good to be under 300! Hugs, Erika L

Erica, you are doing wonderful. I was down about 14 pounds then too. You will get there, it is just hard to be patient. Your pictures look wonderful. I had Lap RNY, I did not realize the incision with the open was that big. Keep up the good work. Christine -40

It can be as small as 5 inches. My gallbladder was hard to remove. It was covered with adhesions.

Hey, that's more than a pound a day!!! 1.25 actually. I think that's great. Are you supposed to lose faster than that? Joy

Hi Erika, you are dong great. Besides I'm the queen of slow losers. But like you i'm happy just losing. I was 15 at 2 weeks. Now 11 weeks and down 35. From a size 24 to a size 18. But I feel wonderful. Keep up the good work. Let us know how you are doing. tina

Erika, How are you feeling as far as pain goes? I am happy to know that you are on the losing side and you are doing great so far. Keep up the great work! Have you heard any more news on Michelle? Take care, prayers out to you! Love, Johanna

Johanna, The pain isn't that bad. I'm down to half of a vicodine a day. I emailed Michelle's sister, but she hasn't gottten back to me yet. I'm going to call tomorrow. I'll let you know if I get an update. Hugs, Erika

Erika, 15 lbs is nothing to squack at, I am so happy that you hit a new milestone by getting under a certain goal. I cant wait for that myself. Keep up the great job

I think 15 lbs is wonderful. I had my surgery on 7/16 and I am down 14 lbs. I think we are doing great!!!

Way to go Butterfly. If I lost 15 lbs I would be dancing in the moonlight...hmm is that a song? You should be so happy and proud your on the loosing side. How's your incision feel?
