Hi, I have just recently had RNY surgery (two weeks ago today!). I stumbled upon this site while doing a web search on my surgeon, she was a 'Doc who rocked' last year. No complications so far, and I am amazed at how good I am feeling so quickly after surgery. Took me over two years to get here, and I look forward to the changes that have started and will continue as time progresses.

Welcome to the best support group ever! Congrats on your surgery and happy to slide over to give you room on the loser's bench.

I am jealous that you are feeling so well...I have had a bit of a struggle (I'm 21 weeks out), so, lucky you for feeling so well!  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I have to ask about your ticker, though - is your starting weight 334? Or are you really 170 pounds below your goal? Just asking... Cheesy Wink Cheesy Wink

Glad to have you aboard!

Hi, 334 pounds was my starting weight, but that was before the three weeks on the Optifast shakes. I hope to make it to 170 pounds as time goes on.
