Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi Everyone. I wanted to give you an update on my progress so far. Dr. R performed a 6' bypass in Vegas on 2/14. I am a 38yr. male, and my pre-op weight was 290lbs. Today I weight 267 lbs. -33lbs so far. That is just not too bad for 1 month. Ha ha. Overall, I feel good now. I did have a period between week 2 and 3 that I became fatigued easily. I increased my salt intake and started my supplements, and it seems to have taken care of the problem because I have felt great this week. The supplement & Post-op med regimen was difficult for me to remember at first...(( Men don't like to slow down and take the needed time )) but I think I finally have it in my head what I need to do. I am beginning to figure out which foods I can tolerate for now and which ones need to be left for awhile longer. I am thrilled to be out of Stage I & 2 as I am a picky eater where textures are concerned. So it is good to begin to have some choices again. No one could have prepared me & my wife for the " SMELL FACTOR " .. But I am learning new creative ways to deal with it as best as possible. It is hard for me to see the changes in myself so much at this point. I can tell my pants are baggy and my shirts are definitely bigger, but other people are beginning to notice now. That is great to hear, and my wife tells me that I am her " Sexy Beast " . Ha ha.. I will keep you posted as time goes on. Thanks to all of you for your insight, answers to questions, and posts. I don't post often, but my wife and I read the board almost daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
