Question:
Thanks for your response to question 3.

Sorry, I'm new at this. I guess I'm worried that my weight loss hasn't been as sucessiful as I would have like at this point. I had a band removed, then my surgeon did a rny. I'vr only lost 12 pounds in 6 weeks. Normally after any surgery you will lose 20 pounds.    — 918nola (posted on June 6, 2009)

Remember your body may still be in shock and your organs may still be swollen. I am only 5 day post op and down 3 pounds and was getting a bit down because of the abdominal bloating....BUT that being said I am now sure it is because my body is still in shock with the organ removal an the reassignment of the colon to the new stomach. Give yourself a chance....you will lose. Are you able to exercise yet? I am up to 5 walks a day which is equal to 3/4 mile. I will keep you in my thoughts.......good luck.
