Well its been four weeks had my second post op appointment and am down 30lbs pretty excited. My blood pressure is down. I havnt been able to walk very much due to a herniated disk that decided to rupture while i was in the hospital. I am scheduled for back surgery on the 9th this month, so crosing my fingers that with lossing the weight and getting my back fixed i can really get out and move and heal fast.

Had my surgery also on May 30th. They have a routine of keeping patients a mininum of three days so got to get out on Sunday. Very glad to hear you are doing very well. Ray

I am one week out and just the other day I was thinking how some foods I ate just a week an half ago would be good, and whoaa I cant it that anymore, and it did make me sad thinking about all the different foods that I used to eat that I can no longer eat. But after the day went on I forgot about those foods and carried on. Got to remember we are now eating to be healthy and living to be happy. Good luck and shoot me a message anytime you want ok. Ray

As I read this my tummy is gurgling...lol post one week.

May 30, 2013 got it sneaked in right on the last day of May. I am doing very well and am very excited to be part of the losing bench.lolRay

Got my surgery scheduled for the 30th, getting the nerves. Looking forward to getting it done and getting on with a healthier life! but nervous because its surgery and I recently six months ago had a surgery that had unexpected complications, obviously ended up ok but still. Ray
