Well no. The chewing can add air to the pouch. I miss it! But small price to pay.

You look amazing and are sexy!! You give me hope!

Wow you've done do well! Jerk

Yes it will get better! Right?

I had a rash for about two weeks. I was allergic I the liquid pain meds. I had it for a while after I stopped taking them. Weird

Hi and welcome!!! Congrats on your loss so far and the medications. That is a huge step for you! This forum is the best place to be. I am only about 6 weeks out but it has been so helpful. Everyone is here to support you. Don't ever be concerned with asking any questions. We can get pretty personal (in a good way

I break my protein bar up as a snack during the day (Dr is making me snack to get the protein in) and then have a shake for breakfast and real food for lunch and dinner. I seam to be able to get about 60-70 grams in this way on a consistent basis. But some days it just does not happen. You are doing well so far!

Yes, fluids are the most important. Everything else will come in time and then they will want you to eat more! LOL Sounds like you are doing OK. 19 is a good loss so far. You may have a period of a small stall around the third and the fourth week. It is just your body adjusting to the big loss you just had. Don't freak out. :-) And let us know whatever questions you may have. We are here to help!! I would have gone crazy without this board and the wonderful people on it. PS... I am so sorry to hear you got the flu. UGH that must have sucked!

Hi All!! I have noticed over the past few days there are a bunch of us struggling with the same things right now so I thought I start a thread. So, after my visit to the dr yesterday I am in complete panic mode. I was told 800-900 calories and at least 70 grams of protein. I know this is best but I am completely terrified. It is like it has given me a license to eat. I was not snacking. They told me to snack to get my food and protein in. But I'm scared. If I pick all day I can but that is what got me here in the first place. Also, I see all of these people 6, 9 months out eating 600 calories and dropping weight like crazy. I'm already behind and stalling again. So, I want to eat to "lose" like the say but afraid. I have been getting better with water but the exercising has faded. I leave for work at 7 AM and don’t get home to almost 6:30. I am so tired by then. (Yes need more protein). By the time I cook dinner and clean up it is 8 and I am ready for bed. (How sad is that). I am down about 28 pounds. How are all of you coping?

Looking back on this... so much is true. The emotions, the stall at three weeks, Hell week, etc. But you get through it.

I'm literally having nightmares about this. Thanks for posting!

I'm worm2872 and I am on there everyday. Feel free to add me.

Oh honey it looks like you will have to appeal for RNY. I'm not sure why they approved the biopsy. Are you in need of a other procedure?

I'm worm2872 and on there everyday. Feel free to add me for support!

I live on MFP I can't believe how fast the calories add up. You'll get there. Unfortunately I am there now. Not sure if it is good or bad.

It's actually moving around. I had mine for over a week but I had two surgeries. Ugh. I slept with a heating pad on my back and a hot water bottle on my chest/stomach. It seemed to help. I have no idea why. Hope you feel better.

I'm six weeks out and was told 800-900. Ugh. I can get to 700.

We need to start the six week 25 pound club!

We need to start the 25 lb - six week club Lol.

Mine said the same thing at my six week appointment. 800-900 calories and at least 70 in protein. I got 70 in today and feel crappy.

Ugh!! May it pass!!

So happy for you!! I'm terrified it will all come back like always.
