MAY 2013 POST-OP GROUP

[brandnewme2013 97]

I'm glad to see that so many of us are doing well and that even though we have all lost different amounts of weight we are all pleased with our results so far. At my very first pre op appointment I weighted 338lbs which was my highest. The day of surgery I weighted 318. As of today I'm 256! The lowest I've ever been is 250 so thats my 1st goal but definitely not the last. This is the best decision I've ever made and everyday I hold my head up high and I am proud to be an rny patient.

All good here also. Hi from Australia. Band to bypass revision

Starting weight was 229.3 lb /104 kg now 185lb/ 84 kg. surgery was 13 may. Just starting to feel hungry a little more than before. Have no trouble with any food. Although I haven't tried anything naughty. Doing 60 gm of protien from food and just starting to get all my Water in. Only problem I have had was urinary tract infection.

All good here!!!

I am doing well, as well. My surgery was May 23rd and lost about 56lbs since. I am a slow loser and apparently also stalling atm but trying not to be a whiner and be grateful for my progress. I can eat anything in moderation and dumping is of no issue to me. Not planning on visiting Charlie and the chocolate factory either. =)) So glad to see all of you doing so good.

Ah ha! So that's the reason for that mix up! Lol it has been quiet on this group.
