It's been just over 6 weeks since my RNY. I'm back to work now and feeling great. I don't know why I haven't checked in with you all sooner. I'm 55lbs down as of today. I'm working out fine, eating fine, drinking fine. Everything is wonderful. I had some hiccups along the way. Biggest things have been drinking straight water, it upsets my stomach. Therefore, I've become a fruit tea drinker (caffeine free, of course). Some foods upset my stomach, but I haven't eaten anything that I've said "never again". This site was my life saver pre op. I would read, read, and read about peoples experiences for insight into what my journey would be like. I had a fairly good program, but you never learn enough. I felt I learned the most by reading about the stories on here. For that, a great big THANK YOU! I feel terrible that I haven't been on, because without the people who have been through this, there are no "stories" for the next person like me. I'll be on more often.

Yeah @AshAsh1 glad you are sailing along!!

I read,read, read, too, and I love success stories like yours! 55 pounds -- is that include pre-surgery WL?? Either way, its remarkable for 6 weeks --way to go!

I lost 27 lbs in the 2 week pre op diet, the remaining 28lbs since surgery . So total of 2 months. I had gained weight in December and around the holidays. I also quit smoking, which didn't help. But I started my pre op diet on 1/4, and then surgery 1/19. Thank you!
