new guy here

Hey everybody.  I am new here, had my RNY on 5-16 and I was at the RNY forum here, but it was all women, and I say that today there is a mens forum.  Excellent.   I was down 38 lbs from 346 (Pre-Op) at my 2 week out apt last week, and go back again next week for my 1 month.   I cant believe I will be down below 300, its been a while..  I feel better and people tell me I look better, so I guess it is working.  I just cant eat much at all.  Anyway, Hi..

Hey Drew, welcome to the locker room!  Glad you found your way over from the estrogen boards.    I had my RNY on 5/9 so we're pretty close!  Just had my 1 month appt and I'm on soft foods now Thank God.  5 lbs away from being under 300...looking forward to that. Talk at ya later. Bobby

Howdy Drew, Welcome to the MENS locker room. You will enjoy it here.  No boo-hooing. What you will get is the straight skinny on everything as well as male humor.  I just went through my RNY last Tuesday and these pards helped me through it with solid information and encouragement.  

Welcome Drew, Congrats on your surgery, mine won't be for a few months, but one day I will be there.  Like you, I was over on the RNY board.  I still am over there, but when the hormones start getting thick, I mosey over to the Locker Room.  Great bunch of guys over here!  Good Luck Scott

Hey Drew! Welcome to the Men’s Forum! Glad you found us. 5-16? You’re just pulling past the hard part. Congratulations! Drop in more often. Just a bunch of guy who have or had really deep navels! Check out the Sunday "weigh-in" to get an idea of some of the progress! Hope you find all of the info, experience and support this bunch has to offer. Best Wishes- Dx

Welcome aboard Drew. Glad you found us. Congrats on your surgery. DX is right, you're just getting past the tough part. My surgery was 5/3/07 and I found the first 2 - 3 weeks the toughest, but the guys are right, it does get better and easier. Drop in more often and try to meet us in the chat room on Tuesday nights.

Welcome Drew, I just had my surgery in March of this year, and I've found so many great folks here on OH.  You'll see there's alot of great guys here on the forum and they are pretty helpful when you have questions.  I come to the men's forum when I truly want to be inspired.

Hi Drew, great to have you.  Don't be a stranger and don't miss the Sunday Weekly Weigh-in.  This is great accountability during the week.  Great ot have you on the loser's bench. Blessings, Greg

Drew Welcome.  It's good to have you on the losers bench.  Feel free to ask anything - someone has been there and done it.  You are not alone. Congrats on the weight loss already!! All the best  Chris 326/193/175
