Jerrie Ann

My surgeon is Dr Kenneth Warnock in Wichita Falls, TX. Great bedside manner & really honestly cares about my progress! my superpower is......

And I'm fast approaching that age....my grandma was 36 and my mom was 41 when they started menopause. I will be 40 this month. my superpower is......

Me too! Not fun worrying about being too hot and passing out! my superpower is......

They might be. Both my PCP and my surgeon are puzzled. my superpower is......

Mine were heavy in the 2 years after my tubal ligation too....now I'm 11 months post op RNY, and it is only heavy the first 2 days, then it's light. Pre op I would go for 7-8 days, but now post op I go for 4-5 days! my superpower is......

I was cold all the time in the first 3-4 months....then the TX heatwave hit! I have discovered that if I get too hot, then try to quickly cool off, I pass out....I have had it happen twice! It takes me a bit to "come back" from it, and I need a sugar rush to help me, so I have a Peanut Butter cracker (rather than candy or chocolate), and that seems to help. my superpower is......

These are both my military dependent id cards...the one on the left was last June, and the one on the right I just got! What a huge difference 140 pounds make! Now I don't get military police asking me if I'm certain that the id picture is really me! my superpower is......

You should eat....even if it's only a couple of bites....I have worse days if I don't eat when I should! my superpower is......

Oh fire roasted with olive oil! Yummy! Just not soggy red peppers! my superpower is......

Tonight's dinner is chilli! Beans, ground beef, tomatoes, & a teeny bit of chilli powder in my tomato sauce! Om nom nom nom! my superpower is......

I did make a version of Shepard's Pie. No corn, though! I substituted peas in place of the corn! It was yummy & pouch friendly, too! my superpower is......

My kids call it "bird's nest" but it's ground beef (drained really well & rinsed) mixed with sauteed onions, green Beans and crem of mushroom soup on top of scalloped potatoes (they have to be really tender)! my superpower is......

The first 3 months post op, I felt ackward having sex.....but now, at 10 months post op, and having lost 140 pounds, it's pretty hot! I still have lots of loose skin, but that hasn't stopped my hubby from wanting the new me!

Abilene!

Nice! I know of only one other person in Abilene who had RNY, and one who had the lapband.

Thanks!

This is a wonderful idea! I get so bored with my available choices!

39....had my surgery a couple of weeks after my birthday!

These are te chewables? They made me so sick to my stomach at a week post op! Now, nearly 10 months later, just the thought of them makes my pouch upset! I had to switch to vitamins in capsule form!

Abilene, TX here! Surgery date 11/11/11!

Hi there! I'm Jerrie Ann, and I'm almost 10 months post op RNY! I've lost 140 pounds, and have only 15 pounds till my goal weight! Is there anyone on here in Abilene, TX? There used to be a support group, but they disbanded shortly before my surgery!
