Have you actually weighed yourself? I didnt feel the weight loss the first week either but I definately had. Your body is still dealing with the shock of the surgery, it will happen. :)

Hang in there.

I had a great and fast recovery..i was relatively pain free in 4 days. Bending and sneezing and coughing hurt for a good week or two then it started to ease up. I was back at work after 2 weeks but was very very careful about not lifting or pushing anything..anything at all. I would have to say over all it was a fast healing process, but i did have a minor topical infection at one of the incision sights. It cleared up with a topical medication. I suggest you make sure to have a pillow and hold it over your tummy when ever you are gonna be in a vehicle or feel you have to sneeze...for at least the first two weeks, it still hurts, but not half as bad. :)

p.s.      Grats! on the weight loss Lois, keep up the good work.

Hey Rodney.  No questions but just a shout out.  Congrats on your weight loss.  I had a DS on Dec 17.  I am down 44 pounds in 7 weeks.  THRILLED!

I come to the boards to check almost every day and almost never see a post. Is there anyone out there that has a question? That needs clarification on anything? I don't profess to know it all, but I don't mind chatting with anyone about anything. I had the RNY on sept 15th weighing 363 pounds. I currently (according to my Wii, weigh 285) I have had some ups and downs with vitmains and eating and stalling for a few weeks. I will usually respond within a day or the same day of a post.

Rodney,

Oh I know!  I think it is a very complex system.  I just have heard so many talk about it that I wondered why my vitamin routine is so uncomplicated!  No, I do not have any issues getting in my vitamins and I am perfectly content to keep doing as I am until it is time for labs and then adjust accordingly if needed, with Dr. Hill's guidance, of course.
