3-6-07    Well, I made it one month!  I saw the Doc yesterday and he said I am doing great.  He FINALLY gave me some real food to intorduce very slowly.  (fish, eggs, cheese, refried beans, baked beans, and some veggies and fruit)  Wahoo.  I had my first meal last night after 6 weeks and 3 days of liquid only.  I had a tablespoon of refried beans.  Yum!!  This morning I had a tablespoon of cottage cheese!  I am to eat 5 small meals like this during the day and drink 1 to 2 protein shakes each day.

I am still disappointed in the weight loss, but the Doc said I was fine and the weight would start falling off now when I start on real food.  I am READY!!!!

2-23-07   Well, I made it three weeks post-op and am still on the liquid diet (3 cans of boost and 64 ounces of water).  I have been feeling great and have had no real complaints - until yesterday - just a small one.  I woke up feeling nausea and had it all day.  Then at 6:30 pm I was drinking my 3rd boost for the day and suddenly I had a pain somewhere inside and then felt the urge to throw up.  I don't know if I drank too fast?  Then I had a BM and felt much better.  

I am really trying to get more water in.  I am drinking about 36 to 40 ounces a day and Doc wants 64 ounces.  That's my goal for the week.

I feel like I am not losing enough weight.......I have been really trying not to get on the scale every day, but it's hard to stay away.  I am trying to be more active too, but it is sooo cold outside here in Minnesota that it is hard.

I want to thank all the "friends" I have recently added and I look forward to getting to know you all better!     Shelley

2-16-07  Woohoo!  I am two weeks post op and feel great!  No problems what-so-ever!  I had laparoscopic RNY gastric bypass on Feb 2 2007 with Doc Glass in St. Cloud, Minnesota.  No regrets at all!
