Hi Everyone,In case anyone was interested in my progress now that I am three weeks post op.I have been on solid foods now(Stage III) for the last three days and everything I have tried has agreed with me so far. I have scrambled egg w/a pinch of mozz cheese in the am along with 1 oz honey turkey meat. Lunch is the turkey meat with combo 1 0z cottage cheese and pear( packed in water) and dinner bay shrimp with cocktail sauce.I saw my PCP yesterday and was weighed. I have lost 26 lbs so far and can't be more happy. My energy level has really increased now that I have more solid foods as well. I have moved up to walking an hour at a time. I have really gotten to know the neighboorhood now! lolI am completely off ALL meds too! I haven't had to take any since home from the hosptial. I was taking Metformin for diabetes and

liciniprol for blood pressure. Blood sugar yesterday was 103!!! And blood pressure was 106/65!!! So my Dr said congrats and that there wasn't anything he could do for me now that I am healthy! Oh my incisions are all scabbed over and two have all but disappeared.The level of excitment just builds everyday as the old me disappears into a distant memory. This has been a long journey and now I am finding my way back to me. It is like I was lost and turning in circles in the woods and now there is a clearing up ahead and I am starting to run towards it!Thanks for all the encourgagment and support here, I know it has helped me in my process! You are all great people and we are doing what no one else can for us, give us our lives back!Kay336- Orientation 5/6/04290 Dr Baggs- 6/28/05- surgery264- 7/18/05- almost 30 lbs lost so far!Total of 72 lbs lost since beinging this
