Cherry when was your surgery?

I stalled after 4weeks and 2 days (but who was counting?....). I just started losing last week. Just like rest of you. It will start moving. Keep moving, get all protein and water in!!

Losing weight can also cause your blood pressure to go down. That causes dizziness too.

Looks yummy. I'm new on Pinterest. How do I pin it to my board? Thx

I've been buying and liking Walden Farms products. They have zero calories zero sugar zero fat zero carbs and gluten free. They have ketchup, and BBQ sauces as well as caramel and chocolate syrups and bunches of salad dressings. They are awesome to buy from. (No I don't have a connection just appreciate a good line of products and excellent customer service). Give them a try.

I'm 6 1/2 weeks post and I ate a rainbow roll Friday. I took off as much of the rice as I could. Was fine. Just remember to chew chew chew!!

I replied yes but still don't have pal for April. Has anyone gotten theirs yet?

Can "we" eat these? They have sugar in them......

Dehydration can mask as hunger. Are you getting all your liquids in?

I have considerably less knee and hip pain now. I do have some but it is more tolerable. I do not take pain meds. I take Joint Juice and Tumeric both reportedly helpful in reducing joint inflammation. My surgery was 2/20 and I've lost 40 pounds. I walk 2 plus miles 5-6 days a week. I do notice a difference in pain ratio with more weight loss.

I got soft gels but was wondering if anyone knows if RNYs can absorb the supplements or do I need to break them open? Thanks.

I bought some today at whole foods and was wondering if anyone has taken it or had good results with it? I am also taking Joint Juice (glucosamine and chrondroitin). I have hip pain and am seeking relief for a 5k I'm doing on the 21st of April.

I love love love my fitbit. It tracks everything and there is no monthly fee like most other trackers. And their customer service is exceptional and also free. I'd go that route if I was you.

I understand too. I was weighed at my nut appt on March 25 I was 228 and today same scale was 229. Tomorrow is my 6 week post surgery day. Is this normal? Maybe someone can shed some light on this for both of us? I walk 60 minutes a day. Having trouble getting all my protein and water in. Calories per day under 750. Thx.

I am doing a 5k in 3 weeks and I want to get some compression shorts. Does anyone have a good inexpensive source for them? I probably need a 2x. Thank you.

Freecycle is a great resource. It is one of the groups on the yahoo.com site. You get rid of and get things you need.

I am now on full diet. Bought some jerky yesterday. So glad you posted this. 14 grams of protein in 1 ounce!! WINNER!!!!!!

I cannot figure how to add using just username. I either need email or can add from Facebook friends. I'd love to add you all. Can someone help? Or add me ppeltz@yahoo.com. Thx!!

Mine was band to RNY. surgery date was Feb 20 and I am doing awesome. Before surgery I couldn't stand or walk longer than 8 minutes and today I walked for an hour on the treadmill and went 2 miles! I have some hip pain but knee pain is decreasing. I am working up to doing a Color Me Rad 5k on April 21. I've been fat since I was 6 so this is truly the beginning of a whole new life for me!! I am 60 years old.

I'd like to add you all but I need email addresses. If you'd rather, you can add me ppeltz@yahoo.com No place I've found to just add by username.

Same here.

4'10". Starting weight before surgery 268. Don't know my goal because I've been fat since I was 6. I'll stop when it feels right. I am 60.

I am taking the full 6 weeks. I feel I need it to get new patterns established and explore food options. I am very glad I'm doing it. Return to work is April 8.

I was craving egg nog so I made it by putting nutmeg and cinnamon in my vanilla shake. Also used a little sprinkle of butter buds for buttery taste. Turns out good and breaks the monotony of regular shakes.

Done! Thanks.
