Congrats!!! And yes every appointment I was a nervous wreck. I think it's normal. We are all here to help you through this!! Time will go quick! :-)

Oh honey!! That's so awful!! I was there on thanksgiving. Please keep us updated and prayers and hugs for you!

Hi Amanda! Good to hear from you! Sounds like you are doing great! Yes the ham was great. :-). I'm down to 238 from 262 DOS. I log on mostly from my phone. In the beginning I set an alarm to make me rem to log. Now it's second nature.

Make sure you are getting your iron in. That can cause coldness too.

Good luck to you. This is a great place for support.

Hi Nancy!! Welcome! I told very few people too. I was off a month as well and so far no one has said anything to me. I only lost about 23 pounds so nothing drastic which is good. This is a great place. Never hesitate to ask a question or reach out for support.

Awesome! I get some knee pads lol :-).

Well I am the HR person and I did not tell them! I just said surgery. Lol. I told I one close friend in case I collapsed on the floor (the things you think of prior to surgery is crazy). My boss knows now, I think, since my return to work not had bariatric center of excellence written on it. I had not been there that long and didn't want my business out there. And yes if people talk go to HR :-).

Since I'm kinda just staring out mine is exercise. I'm struggling with that piece.

Wow. You all look so great!!

Instead of shrinking don it's now super lift don!!! Lol

YEA!!!!! I've had this happen before RNY... My body would get used to eating a set number of calories. I would have a bad day and I would lose. I guess it no longer thought it was starving.

Good to know. I heard it helps with queasyness too.

Hope you had a nice evening!!!

Every surgeon and NUT are different. Some are OK'd on pureed right out of the hospital. Also, my menu plan says I can have potatoes and a little gravy (FF of course) to use for pureed meat. Sooo... With that being said, it might have been OK for her to have this. As long as you don't live on it and do protein first, no harm done. One day I did just have plain instant mashed made with milk and a little butter buds for dinner. It was wonderful since I was so queasy that day but I do not make a habit of it.

NurseTAB, how are you doing??

Lol I want paw prints on my lower back. My dogs are my kids! Hummm tattoos.... Dream catcher, dragonfly, dove ( for hope or faith) kids initials I love tribal artwork. The Egyptian Ankh symbol of life and rebirth. Which sounds appropriate.

I did not have a PCP either. I had the opposite issue mine just wanted to pump me full of pills but not help me get to the root of the problem. I went through a center I excellence and they took care o everything. Still looking for a PCP.

I had mine 11/19 too. Hormones are nuts! I'm feeling pretty good. I had a few weeks where food was a no go but I'm doing better on soft foods then shakes. I'm down about 23 pounds since surgery so you are doin great.

I just want to post to say how thankful I am for RNY. I was able to enjoy the holiday without over eating. It was wonderful. No guilt. Did I have a taste of a few treats, yes but just a taste. I was satisfied and no holiday weight gain. I know I'm only five and a half weeks out but I can already tell my habits and mind set are starting to change. I just pray I can keep going. How was everyone else?

Welcome!! This is the best place to be. Great People and wonderful support. Good luck in your journey and never hesitate to ask a question or reach out for help or support!

How are you doing?? You can do this!!!

Paul!! Nice job. You look fantastic. :-).

Don, I'm so happy for you!! You look wonderful!!! It's great to hear your stats. Thanks for posting.

I think they are ok it's the calories that get me but if you can get your protein in with them, well yea! :-)
