Lol PaulB. Well I've said no more babies for a while because we have our hands full at this moment.

My insurance requires 6 months of dr supervised diet. BUT I was able to get everything done in 60 days. It is possible. But you have to be your own advocate. My surgeons insurance coordinator told me I might be denied because I didn't wait 6 months but I had faith And said I wanted to see if they would approve me and they did within 3 days. But I also should tell you that I am 3 weeks post op and there are times I regret it. Because you will never know how much your life will change until you do it. I miss my foods so much and I am now totally lactose intolarant but I am feeling better little by little. Try to tell them what you want. And you just might get it.

I am 21 days out and 30 pounds down.

That was a week or so ago now I can't even eat hardly anything now my pouch is working full blast. Including vomiting, dumping and telling me my stoma doesn't want anymore.

I can't swallow so I start sucking and it always leads to more than it leads to a new baby. But I am done for at least 3-4 yrs. I have 4 now and 3 under 3 so I want this time for me.

Well I just threw up. No fun. I am headed back to pure liquids I think.

I am totally F@&$ing lactose intolarant and super sad. Because I was part rat before and now no more dairy. Not even cheese. :..(

Uuuufff I started working out 2 days ago now I'm on a stall. WTF?!?! I thought I would drop more. Now its 2 days and not even down an ounce.

It totally is. Damn on a diet u can cheat. I we cheat we dump or feel like our insides are gonna explode. How the bleep is that the easy way out!?!?!?

ITs not an easy way out. At all

Very true. I think that we are doing a disservice by not telling the whole truth tho because we gotta make a truly informed dicision.

Thanks. I am feeling better and I am trying to see the positives. I am very thankful for this surgery. It's just hard to break up with a food addiction I've had for 20+ years. Trust me I want to over come this. But I guess I never knew exactly what I was getting myself into. Which is strange to say because I saw SO many videos and posts about RNY but I cannot recall anyone who shared how much this phase sucks.

Oh well I won't be doing that. The last time I was biteing and sucking I got pregnant.

Thanks everyone for the love and understanding. I am trying to keep things in perspective but I'm struggling. I appreciate being able to keep it 100 here and be honest.

7/25 274 7/27 278 8/9. 254

When it's not water?? What else can we drink mama? I am on water and Gatorade g2.

Camel back bottles. What's that?

Ok before anyone gets upset I am just being honest about how I feel 16 days post op. I am down 24 pounds according to my scale and yes I'm happy with that, BUT at this point I am feeling like I have gave up SO much (tacos, all my Mexican food,rice, noodles, dairy products, chips, almost any carbs) for 24 pounds!!!! I realize that I will most likely keep losing weight and Lord willing reach my goals but right now I still can't fit my clothes!?!!??!?! So I am angry at myself for having to go to such an extream and now not be able to even eat Cereal with my kids and well I guess just that. I am being forced to break up with the one thing that has been with me for 28 years. My food addiction. I know I asked for this I know I want/Ed this but right now I feel like wtf did I do. Please don't leave judgement comments. I just need support and to know from anyone over 2weeks that this is really worth it and that the weight will come off.

I had my surgery 7/25 at 270 got up to 278 now I'm 257

I just dumped. My pouch is alive and well lol not happy. I had 1/2 cup ice cream and at first all was beautiful in the world then holy moly f@&$!n sh!t talk about icky feeling. Whow never ever EVER gonna eat I've cream again. Think of the worst stomach flu mixed with irritable symptoms mixed with can't puke but need to all into one. I had to lay on my side cover my eyes with pressure and rock for maybe 30 mins. Guess I spoke to soon pouch works and I'm a believer no more testing it.
