    Hi gang! I'm 10 days post op. I must admit out loud to you all that I want to look good in clothes again. It's not my only objective, but...well. So yesterday I got the results of some of the testing docs do after our surgeries, etc. I have stage 3 kidney disease and damn if my numbers aren't getting better! This news, these numbers opposed to scale numbers, have given me more hope for a happy life then I imagined I would ever have. I come from healthy stock, and most of my life my cholesterol, bp and all of the health numbers were good, actually better than good- low. I just took this for granted so imagine my dismay the first time these numbers started to rise. I didn't pay attention until my doc said the horrible words, "stage 3 kidney disease" From this point, I just figured I could only stop the progress of many of my health issues but never return to a place where I could mark, "health-good" on fitness surveys. I have this little ray of light on my heart that says, "sister you can repair the damage you've done to your dear body to the extent you can mark "good" on those surveys. So yee-haw! thank you God for your ever present care and concern for little ol' me. Blessings guys! Nancy K.

    Thank you Jesus.

    You are doing well keep up the good work. When I got my 2 wk Check up I lost 13lbs. I asked the Dr was that good he said yes 20 was the Max in 2 weeks so I encourage you to keep doing what you are doing

    Ok, so I am about 7 weeks post gastric bypass. When I eat I have maybe 3-4 bites and feel kinda full, well I take some time and then I can eat more. Is it normal to feel full after only a few bites then wait and eat more? If I stop at 3 bites I'm hungry in no time. Anybody else like this?

    I was also sleeved on 8/8. My day of surgery weight was 191. By 8/15, I was down to 182 and the scale hasn't moved since. I am guessing it is normal to slow down while your body adjusts to your new diet. I'm hoping it'll start moving again once I advance to soft foods.

    It will..my weight slowed down to. We had our surgery the same day I started with 239 now I'm 217.
