Introduce myself

Hello everybody, My name is Judy from Manteca, Ca.

I had my Gastric Bypass on December 8th,2014. I was in the hospital overnight. I took my pain meds for six days. I'm very swollen. I went and seen my doctor for first time since Surgury after 7 days after surgery. No weight loss. But, he said not to worry it will start coming off and it is starting some.

Starting weight 255.....1st .Dr. Appt. 245......surgury weight. 238.....Dr. Appt. after surgury.244.....

Dec. 20. 238.5

Yes, I'm getting worried, but I'm planning on starting to go workout after Christmas and I'll see if that helps.

I'm just starting purée eatting officially today. The paperwork I have says at meals no more than 1 to 2 oz. I haven't be able to stay that low. I'm not sure way and what to eat.

Sorry, this is so long.

Judy,

Welcome, and you are doing great so far. You will see results soon. You are still healing. Don't exercise without your doctors okay. You are going to be so amazed at how fast it comes off in a few weeks. Just be patient. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Six months out you will see a BIG difference. You will definitely be in a much smaller size. Great luck to you!

Judy I had my surgery on the 9th and came home after two days in hospital (complication with breathing tube puncturing esophagus). I came home swollen from so much IV fluids I suppose. I stayed that way for some days and kept walking around the house every hour and foot swelling disappeared. Then I weighed myself this past Saturday and was down 13 pounds.

Stick with it. It's just the beginning for us. The pounds will fall. I am wanting to workout in a few weeks, but will wait to get the okay from the doctor.
