Guest guest Posted November 9, 2000 Report Share Posted November 9, 2000 Hey Guys and Gals, Just a note to let you know how aI am doing. I am thrilled I am 7 weeks post-op today. I am down as of this morning 45 lbs. This is an average of 6.4 lbs per week. I don't think you can beat that. I feel good, I am only eating small amts. I really don't enjoy meats much. I get my protein mostly from frozen fruit protein shakes and protein bars. I have never thrown up. I have had an occasional wave of nausea if I eat too fast or when trying to eat some meats. Fish taste good to me. I like fruits and vegs. I do have to work to get in enough fluids. I am faithful to follow Dr. R's instructions. My blood sugars and diabetes are normal and I have not taken any blood pressure medicine since surgery. I am moving around much better and even with a very bad knee I now can go up and down the stairs like a normal person. My friends are commenting often about me loosing wt. They do not know of my surgery. They ask me how I am doing it? I just say I am eating alot less. I am going thru clothes and hope I have enough to get me thru the next months. I can't wait to see where I will be this time next year. Good luck to all of you in waiting. Do not give up, keep fightng, it is worth it. I ended up self paying and it was the best money I ever spent. Remember make you decision based on your research not on what we say. It has to be an informed decision.
