Hello to everyone on both sides of surgery today! I am 6 weeks and 1 day post op. I have lost 40 pounds and feel pretty good. (The 40 is a guess - I'm on vacation and didn't bring my scale - although my husband thought I was going to! LOL Anyway, I was at about -38 before we left a week ago). I have been pretty darned moody lately - not sure what that's about. I really would have thought I would be more pleased about the weight loss and more pleasant to be around - but no such luck! I do feel physically better -- more energy, etc. But some part of me is really tripping some times. Oh well.... I finally started walking with some regularity and eating more. Seems like I lose more weight when I eat more! Go figure. We were in a bookstore today and I looked at the diet section...for the FIRST time in my entire life, the books that focus on how to lose the attachment with food held no meaning for me. That part is OVER...I can barely stand to think about eating. And when I do eat, it's a few bites and I'm stuffed!!! We're up on the Central Coast of California and it is beautiful here!! I want to retire here so badly -- of course, perhaps I should take care of working those next 20 years first!! When I get home, I promise I'll get better at posting again. Before my surgery, I posted all the time...and I've gotten wrapped up in my own life and learning new behaviors and moving and, and, and....I've become lazy about getting in here for the newcomer. So, I promise to be more accessible soon. Open RNY 7/17/01

Hi everyone -- I am six weeks (43 days) post op. I have lost 36 pounds. Of course, I wish it was more...but, hey, it's 36 pounds gone forever!!! Weeks 1-2 are a blur - weeks 3-4 SUCKED (I was depressed and cried all the time) - weeks 5-6 things are getting better. Still learning how to eat. Exercising (walking 3 miles daily) just started...no energy up till now. All in all - very glad I did it. Best to all.

Bobbie Lee - I'm so glad that you made it to KS safely and that you appear to be doing so well! You are doing a lot in such a short time. Take care (and yes!! I also learned quickly the importance of eating slowly)! We learned and developed terrible habits in our past lives! I wish you continued success!! Always, Carolyne

Hi Bobbi, I hope you won't think I'm beating up on you, 'cause I'm just a tad concerned. Seems like you're going for the carbs (pizza, cornbread) and I'm concerned you're not getting enough protein. Have you met with a dietician pre/post op or has your surgeon given you dietary guidelines? If not, corner him and get some!! If we don't get the proper nutrients post op, we'll have problems. The first few weeks post op are critical. Those 'comfort foods' of the past are going to have to wait!! Make sure you're getting your protein and you may want to keep your carbs down. <p> Hope you don't feel I'm being hard on you. Congrats on making it thru to the OTHER SIDE. Hang in there, and you'll see great results!

I am so glad to hear that you are doing so well! Keep it up!!! I will be coming to San Diego middle of August! My husband and I went to Seattle for four days (just got back) and I learned what it like post WLS and eating out at a nice restaurant. My husband and I learned to share his plate (he doesn't seem to mind since I consume so little at a time)! We had fun and I was amazed while observing others eat so much! It was good to spot you on the message board and know that all is well! Keep in touch!
