surgery date - Apr 5th/2013 9am

I just had my first meal!!!! Zucchini, orange bell peppers and onions sautéed, OMG was it good! YUM!!

I had my RNY on 3/25 as well. I used my phone timer for about three days. Then just started drinking. I can hold more than 30 ml and do a pinch test periodically but I'm not worried about my liquids. Protein is another story.. I now Hate they Protein shakes and unflavored protein... I can't even Look at the containers of powder!!!
One more week of liquid.... Nooooooo

Me too.. They had o use two for me but it doesn't fit on my waist - way to loose - but I need it for the lower bits still. Three more weeks and it comes off.

RNY Surgery 2/28/13. Starting Weight: 296 Day of Surgery Weight: 274 - Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

I hate mines. Since I have lost weight it is to big and it is uncomfortable. But if I go without it its horrible.

I am new here. My surgery was on March 13th. So far I'm down 20 lbs. Started walking today. Aside from a little dehydration the first week, I feel great.

**TOPIC ALERT - POOP**

Last couple of days I've had to poop.. Today I went to the nursing home to visit my mom and spent more time in the washroom than with her. I have NEVER Had and Experience like this!!! I Swear it was like giving birth! I was Crying!! My husband was in the washroom with me and he was Coaching me through it LoL

Finally weighed myself 11 days post op and down 14 lbs. really happy but I'm so tired of eating cream Soups and pudding! Hope to start getting more energy because all I want to do is sleep!

I can tell you two recipes I have seen. One was a mini pizza made with a Portobello mushroom as the crust

Hit send by accident. The mushroom one was an Atkins recipe. I saw another in a gluten free cookbook that used ground beef for the crust. One of my friends has been making crust out of cauliflower and said it is a pretty good pizza. I think she found that recipe online. I am not sure I can live with no pizza forever, so hopefully the bypass will help me make those changes but maybe I can settle for cauliflower crust pizza.

Happy Easter to All!! I know for us March Madness peeps there will be no indulgences. But I am more than happy to give it all a miss, as I am so happy with my constant weight loss.
I have had zero dumping and want to keep that going.
Saw all my friends yesterday, and so glad that no one said anything about my surgery. But it was relatively easy not to have that beer or Snacks that everyone else was having.
All the best to those April surgeries. Let the losing begin.
Cannot wait to follow everyone's progress and compare notes/results next March (2014) and to share our experiences with all the new March surgeries.
Have a wonderfully blessed day.

I'm Home! I'm Home! I'm Home!
So happy and so uncomfortable!
I'm so happy to join u guys on the losers bench, it feels great and I can't wait to see some weight loss. I gain 5 lbs in the hospital ( in 5 days) so not so bad. I'm praying for us all

Just had my surgery Monday 3/25. Despite some pneumonia and gas I'm on my way. I am so excited to start my new life!!

3/25.... And I'm on the losers bench.
