UDPATE, sorry I've been MIA

Hi everyone sorry I haven't posted sooner, busy week here, we've had 2 fall festivals (church & school) this week and a halloween festival today. I went on Thursday the 27th for my 1st post op visit and I've lost ****DRUMROLL**** 13lbs in 10 days (as of Thursday), I also was told I could advance to chicken, turkey, fish, tuna, and any bean as they are soft. I am still feeling great. I ate 4 bites of grilled chicken yesterday with NO problems and had broccolli cheese soup last night that was YUMMY. I think I've found me a shake that I actually like, it's the Atkins "Creamy Vanilla" 20g protein per 11 oz drink. EVERYTHING on me is getting smaller now.

CONGRATS!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. Be careful when adding meats, make sure to chew them REALLY good. I sometimes freeze my shakes for about an hour to get it to the same consistancy as a slushy. YUM! May God bless you and welcome to the losing side! Georgina

Thanks Georgina, I think I may try freezing it to get the slushy consistancy. I am chewing, chewing those meats as well. Hugs, Melissa Dr. Ejey (Duncan's Office) Lap RNY- 10/17/05 July, SW - 241.5/ Oct., CW - 215/GW - 135 - 26 lbs gone forever

Congrats! I am waiting for my surgery on nov 9. so it was good to here from you on how well you are doing. How was everything with dr duncan's office? that is who I am going through.

Renee! We live so close together! I wish we could get a non surgeon specific support group up here! Godd Luck on Nov. 9 I know you will do great!! Lorie Brown

Lorie, Has anyone told you, you favor Rosanne Barr? Melissa Dr. Ejey (Duncan's Office) Lap RNY- 10/17/05 July, SW - 241.5/ Oct., CW - 215/GW - 135 - 26 lbs gone forever

No, Gee you figured me out. That's really who I am.

Renee, Everything has been great with them. I go back on Nov. 17th for my 1 month post op visit. This will be the best choice you have made, to have this surgery, and when you meet Lori woods, the AMC nurse manager, you will LOVE her, she is AWESOME. I ran into her today at wal-mart in Newnan and talked to her and she is absolutely WONDERFUL.

Yay for you, Dear Melissa!!! Sounds like you are doing wonderfully. How great that you can already eat chicken. That will be a big help with getting in the protein! Love ya! Becky
