Do you mind me asking how much you have dropped?

I am origanily from state college pa but now reside in culpeper va anyone else in va? What part of pa where you from?? My RNY surgery was on 6/13 with dr Nain in Woodbridge VA

Oh yes I hear this all the time considering I am 5'10, most people never believed me when i said i weighed 304, they said i carried it well, what the hell does that mean????? I am doing this not only for the weight but to get off the 12 medications that i am on, I am only 34 years old and I WAS on 2 different blood pressure medications to keep my blood pressure down. The key word is WAS I am off my bp meds and am only taking 3 prescribed meds to date, they rest are vitamins! That my friend is a reason to have the surgery!!!

WOW so close mine was 6/13!

OMG I wonder why it hit you now, considering you have had it before? I am so glad you are better now, I am sure that hour felt like an eternity! I am not looking forward to ever going through that! How long ago was your surgery?

i have tried cottage cheese and it makes me sick, i will try the chicken breast lunch meat, do you get like the boars head reduced sodium and fat? I wasnt aware we could have that? I am so lost as to what we can eat. I can usually get a banana down in my protein shake but i just tried to drink one and it was a no go. Thank you for your help bellepink

I have started the mushie food but now it makes me nauseous, any ideas on what i can eat at this stage? what did you eat once you started mushies? I was better off on liquids!!

Ok I am almost 3 weeks post op, I had my RNY by pass on 6/13 and I am having a terrible time finding things that dont make me nauseous. Does anyone have any ideas? What does everyone eat at this stage. I had no problem on liquids, infact i could down the jello, puddings, and liquids no problem but it seems that as soon as there is some kind of consistance i get nauseous. Please let me know what you were eating at this stage considering I have 6 more weeks of this!! All help will be appreciated!!!

Picked some up today and I have to say the cheese flavor is amazing!!!

You ladies are amazing! Thank you so much for all your help! I am definitely going to try the puffs! Ocean, let me know what the dr says, my fingers are crossed for you! I am so glad I am not the only one experiencing this! I am so glad I found this group!

Good luck tomorrow! I had my surgery 6/13 I was given broth, popcicles, jello, and crystal lite. When I came home I was able to have low fat yogurt sugar free pudding, and low fat creamed soups, and protein shakes. Keep us updated and good luck!

Hello everyone, my name is Jennifer I am a 34 year old mother of 3. I had my surgery on 6/13 and was out of the hospital on 6/15. My starting weight was 304 this was before starting the optifast, has anyone else experienced optifast 2 wks before their surgery? I have my 2wk follow up on 6/28 and cant wait to get graduated to mushies! I am sick of liquids and I often find myself hungry alot. Is this normal? I thought I was not suppose to experience hunger. I am having a lot of pain on my left side and at times it is unbearable, is anyone else experiencing this? Please let me know that I am not the only one with these issues.
