    Hello Everyone, I am one week post op. I had the RNY and I am doing pretty good so far. Starting weight was 380 lost 18 lbs on the 10 day liquid diet and then was up 6 pounds when I left the hospital last Friday. I am now down to 358 and I am anxious to see the pounds fall off.

    For anyone reading this thread, you should know that there are a few groups especially for weight loss surgery, gastric bypass, band, sleeve, etc. Just go to the community section and either scroll through the groups or do a search. I think you'll find a lot more support and assistance there. A lot of folks on the main message boards aren't very tolerant of WLS, unfortunately.
