I just read your post about your 12lbs. weight gain. I think you are being a little hard on yourself. Your weight loss is amazing! It sounds like you probably know you make some bad decisions from time to time. We all do. I think most of us are good about being honest with ourselves and straightening ourselves back out quikly. I belive you are on the right path. We all have the same nagging fears. Some days I swear the scale is lying and makes no sense. Some days I'll mess up and loose weight and other days I fly straight and gain a few pounds and scratch my head in dismay. Look at the big picture and keep up the good work!

HI LESLIE, I WAS VERY TOUCHED BY YOUR UP-DATES. IT HAS GIVEN ME MUCH COURAGE & HOPE TO HELP MY UNBELIEF. I AM POST-OP OPEN RNY 03-24-03, I HAVE LOST 75# PLUS. I HAVE NOT WEIGHED THIS WEEK. I JUST STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I WILL GET TO WHERE YOU & OTHERS LIKE YOU ARE AT. I WAS 347# MY HEAVIEST PRE-OP. THEREFORE MY JOURNEY WILL TAKE A LITTLE LONGER, BUT I AM LEARNING TO BE VERY PATIENT. THANKS FOR ALL THE INPUT ON YOUR UP-DATES. GOD BLESS, CASS.

Hi Leslie: I'm 4 weeks out for open RNY and I'm eating 1/4 cup of semi solid/solid food a meal. I'm supposed to eat 4-5 meals a day but it is hard to get that many meals in during a day. I, too, have a problem with not always getting the full feeling until too late. My remedy is to measure out my portion and put in on a small plate or in a small bowl. I also use a teaspoon and only take a little on the tip of the spoon so I will eat slowly. It works for me. Remember, dreams do come true and we are living one right now!!!!

Hi Leslie, it has been awhile since we have emailed each other and I thought that I would let you know how I am doing. I am healing nicely and losing weight. My scales here at home say that I am 434 naked and the surgeons scale says that I am 439. I am not going to complain since clothes weigh something! Please email me and let me know how you are doing!

Leslie, I am 10 weeks out and have only lost 44 lbs so you are not to off from that! As far as gaining.. I would check your weight again after Aunt Flo has left the premisis.. EVERYONE gains a bit then... totally normal (and someting I DO NOT miss since I was gutted) Don't fret.. you are fine.. take your success over a few weeks rather than day by day. It is less stressful. I can find my self really sad when I think of how much others have lost by 10 weeks compared to what I have done, but I try REALLY hard not to do that. If I get to my 1 year mark and have not met my goal, then I will cry. Until then I just keep pluggin along. Good Luck, you will succeed if you follow the rules! Tami
