I have been MIA, but I am good!

Today is 8/26 and I am exactly 1 month post-op. I went to see Dr. Capella today and I am down 33 lbs. (WOO-HOO) I cannot believe it. WLS is truly amazing. I am starting to see and feel the difference. Clothing that was once skin tight leaving little or no room to breath are fitting and baggy. I am so happy I dont know what to do with myself. The weight just comes off like nothing. I am looking forward to this journey more than ever. My only concern is gout! OUCH!!! I had it prior to WLS but it is off the chain now!!! It bothers me at night after I have been active all day. I dont stress about it I just take my meds and pray on it. I take my multivitamin once everyday (chewable - VIACTIV) and I also take my calcium twice a day (chewable - VIACTIV) I have another month of taking PREVACID and then I am done with that. I just wanted to let all my fellow loosers that I am so glad to be a part of the team I cannot wait to hit the CENTURY Club and at this rate I will be there by New Years. Yvette 303 / 267

Hi Yvette and Welcome to the NJ board ! You seem to have a good handle on things, kudos and congratulations to you in your weight loss : ) Keep up with your vitamins, it sounds like you are doing good! Be encouraged, and come visit the boards here often... daily if you can..POST alot : ) and be sure and ask any questions you might have.. there LITERALLY is no dumb questions.. only the questions you DONT ask are the silly ones.. so ask away. There are a lot of people having the same issues as you might be having, so sharing not only gets answers for you, but also answers questions for others who are shy and too timid to post and ASK : ) Have a super day GOOD job on your weight loss!! Godspeed Timmy Ray

Hi Yvette, I was wondering where you've been. I am so happy to hear that everything is going well for you. I pray to have my WLS March 2006. Could you tell me what your diet is? Did you have any problems? Have a Blessed Day Bea.
