Hi!

I feel real blessed that I can eat most foods and have no issues. I'm down 45 lbs since May 5. I've started working out with a trainer 2 days a week and walking 3 miles other days. I'm thrilled that I did this, it's a new lease on life. I feel great and every day seems to get better. Right now I have no cravings for sweets and ice cream. I know that may not last, but right now I'm very content. Good wishes to everyone! Linda

Hi everybody I am so glad you posted back on this thread. I had surgery May 5th and I'm down 77 pounds. I have 23 more to go. I never dreamed I would be at this stage yet. I am a size 10 now started as an 18. I was wondering do any of you have tummy tenderness from time to time? The only thing I really struggle with is Constipation. But hopefully as I add more foods that will improve. Still doing Miralax and Metamucil...I do have a lazy bowel. One really neat thing. I was able to mentor my best friend and she just had her RNY. She did have melena...old rectal blood come out but it stopped. I'm afraid she is going to push it to fast but I hope she listens to her body.

I will be having my 6 month post op on a few weeks and praying that all my numbers and counts are good.

Hi guys this is angelface. I am so glad to hear from you guys. My surgery was also May 5th, 2014. I have been doing great! I have already hit my doctor's goal (100 pound loss) and am currently working on my personal goal (11 pounds to go). I am trying to increase my muscle mass as well. I have been very involved with the Bariatric Center (university) I had surgery at. I love encouraging and supporting others. No deficiencies at all bloodwork looks great. Co-morbidities gone!
