Hi, it's me Debbie, just letting you know that I'm now 3 1/2 months post op and I have lost 43lbs so far and I feel great. I've just started to work out at curves to tone up. Unfortunately I'm vomitting so I just stay away from whatever I ate until a next time. I hope everyone is doing well and loving it..

Hello everyone, I'm now 3 weeks and 5 days post op and I feel great except for the two areas on the incision line that had to be opened up. Now, I have a nurse that has to come to my home and change the dressings while the wounds heal inside out, major bummer..no swimming and no showers or baths.. Today I was weighed in at a Dr. appointment and I had lost 40 pounds since I saw him last in January. So, I believe that would be a total of 30lbs on my surgeon's scale. I had a dress on today that I haven't worn since my daughter's graduation in the year 2000 and it was a little big on me... I'm thrilled to be losing and receiving positive energies from within. I should be going on the next level of food next week, I tell my Angel that I can't wait until I can eat a piece of pizza again, only this time it'll just be the mozarella cheese and maybe a little sauce. Well, until next time.....Adieu....Debbie

I have a special thanks for my Angel with golden wings. Millie was with me through it all and even though I don't really remember much, I know my family fell in love with her. I know a great friendship and bond will grow forever. I want to thank each of you for your prayers and positive energies. My surgery went well even though I had a few rough spots but I hurdled them. I had to have a blood transfusion(3pnts) due to blood loss from where they couldn't find it, but it was gone. I have to admit though, that I haven't experienced any vomiting, nausea, dumping or much pain. I suppose my chronic pain syndrome diminished any such pain from the operation. The ICU staff were fantastic and gentle. I had a greenfield filter inserted the night before surgery because I have had previous blood clots and Dr. Marien didn't want to take any chances. (He's great) . I've been home now for 2 weeks I believe and I'm eating soup, scrambled eggs(1) oatmeal, baby food (fruits veggies and meat) and of course, my sugar free ice cream. The ice cream is the only way I can get all of my medication down without gagging. I take quite a number of meds besides what Dr. Marien prescribed. I have to say that I" m never hungry and I have learned to listen to my stomach as to my eating quantity. I weighed in at 282.3lbs on June 10th and as of June 24th, I weighed in at 272lbs. I actually lost 17 lbs according to Dr. Marien. I'm very happy to lose the weight, but don't get overly excited. I had a dream that I went for a 1year checkup and when I got weighed I didn't lose an ounce. weird huh! Well, I'll say adieu for now and send more later as I progress. Again, thank you all for your support and friendship...Debbie
