I can't wait to... Wear boots that go over calves Fit in a booth without pushing back table Wear shoes that are not "wides" Not need seat belt extender on flight Buy clothes in regular department Be able to cross my legs

I was on 10/23--I try not to go over 1/2 cup or 4 oz--I was also concerned about eating too much but my NUT said if something is really moist and soft that's why you can eat more.

Calcete--they are like a little piece of fudge! 3x day--order online at Nashua Nutrition--this is a great website!

I can't do chicken either--beef and eggs are my staples. I do love "Oh Yeah" protein shakes--8 oz and 18 proteins

I started at 24 pants; 20 tops--I'm down to loose 22s--hoping for 20s in couple weeks. Have lost a lot in arms/upper body-can do some XLs now in better clothes! Down 1 shoe size too!

Me too! My cycle has been really heavy--this is my 2nd one since surgery--plus it put me up 3 lbs on the scale!! Errrr....not happy

I also stalled around week 3--be sure to keep your activity level high!

I'm pouting over the last few days...but...at least I knew to expect it...it's that lovely time...but still makes me mad! RNY 10/23/12 SW 291 CW 259 -up 3 lbs-

I'm 5 weeks from 10/23--I rely on cheese sticks, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, yogurt, eggs, and beans. There is a GREAT hot chocolate protein drink that you mix w 8 oz warm water-purchase from Nashua Nutrition online. Has 15g protein and is wonderful! Tastes just like reg hot chocolate! The warmth is soothing and filling as well.

What is the average you have seen your weight affected by your monthly cycle-I've been gaining and loosing the same pound all week!!

The temperature of the water was really important to me--I don't put it in the fridge-doesn't hurt on my pouch and easier to drink. You can also try the Diet Cranberry juice and mix half/half--that's really yummy too

My papers say 3 months, but I ordered a glass of white wine last weekend and took small sips. It made me feel included by having it but I truly didn't even have 1/4 of the glass. Did not bother me. I had looked up the wine w lowest sugar content and chose that one.

I use "Celebrate Multi-Complete"; order from Nashua Nutrition online--they are a great resource for all types of items and shipping is quick! The vitamins are not bad either-just 2x day

My surgery was 10/23/12--5 weeks ago. I don't know the soonest, I just called my dr and he suggested I try it for my back pain.

Massage therapy appt at 2:00 today...hoping for some relief!

Yes-all vitamins and Proteins daily calling doc in the morning

Has anyone experienced any back pain? I had no problems pre-RNY but the last several days have had terrible pain in left lower back. I've read could be from spine alignment due to the rapid weight loss?

I would try a pre-mixed shake-they have a smoother, creamier texture and I think made it more soothing. I relied on Ensure High Protein for my liquid stage as directed by my dr. Tastes yummy too--chocolate flavor.

A few times-and not regularly-I've gotten very nauseous about 15 mins after eating. Is this dumping or just that particular food is not sitting well?

Good posts here--mine is not a pain so much as a really empty feeling. It makes me think its gonna growl but never does? My NUT says its just my pouch is empty? Anyone else?

Day late but here goes: RNY 10/23/12 HW 291 CW 259 TL-32 lbs
