post-op 6 weeks- all is great!

[Guest guest]

I do not/have not routinely had diarhea; problems

twice (once because I reverted to old deires and

had a PINT of frozen yogurt....now I cannot even

glimpse a Haagen Daaz container, THAT's a

miracle, to turn away from ice cream)

at night I ususally get gas, but it is handled by

taking gas-x

I feel great, none of that " you will feel bad for

your first ___weeks or months "

lots of energy

joint pain gone

I am working on the mental outlook: i consider it

a blessing to be satisfied with a small amount of

food, it's a blessing to be satisfied with ANY

AMOUNT of food.

i started out at 341 lbs and 45 years old, and

guess what, the operation hasn't made me nay

younger! (DAMN) but I feel younger and am getting

active. I don't have a scale at home, 3 week

check up revealed 31 lbs gone, a doctor's visit

for allergies revealed another 5 down, so 36 lbs

at least in 6 weeks, I'll report accurately in

another three weeks about the weight.

I play it real safe with food choices.

I have had some stomach ache after eating, but

TUMS usually relieves it and I found that taking

my actigall separate from mealtime seems to make

the REAL difference.

I know this change was the right one FOR ME and

my body and at this time. I hope everyone has a

good experience and I hope mine continues, I will

work to do my part.

I learn a lot from reading this site, thanks to

all of you!
