Hey Pooh! Almost at 2 month mark , down 46 pounds. Getting nervous though, the weight loss is really slowing down .

Nurse Jen- I'm assuming you are a nurse? So am I ! Where r u living now. I believe Norwich is north of Syracuse , right?

Surgery date : 10/29. I'm from NY , Syracuse area.

Welcome! Vicki I love reading your posts , u have good advice and great encouragement! Thank u!

Hi Kell & Dawn! I was in your shoes not that long ago. my surgery date was oct 29th. I have my 4 week follow up with the surgeon tomorrow. any questions just ask, that's what we are all here for !

Doing well thanks! Down 33 pounds. How's it going for you?

I know exactly how you are both feeling. You're going through a lot of emotions right now. Everyday it will get better, trust me.

My surgery was 10/29 @ St. Joe's Hospital in Syracuse.

I am from Syracuse area!

Rhonda, you look great!!! U go girl!!!!

I'm 3 weeks out. I can't have any breads or meats yet. My surgeon allows his patients to have pasta, as long as you chew very well. I've had no problems. Down 30 pounds.

I had a little bit of mashed potatoes, little bit of squash, green beans, and a deviled egg. I can't have any meats yet or breads. I didn't mind not having the other foods , the spoonfuls of the foods I listed completely filled me up. It was a great feeling that I could easily say NO to all that food!

Congrats! Be sure to give updates!

Hmmm... Not sure. I have crystal light all the time & no problems with it. I'm sorry . Maybe you drank it to fast? sips were too big?

Congrats Don! Ya look great! Thanks for all the info! You're right it seems to be getting easier as every week passes by.

That is awesome!!! Congratulations!

Boooo! I love cheese! Haven't had it yet since surgery . Have u been tolerating it ok?

Congrats! I was thinking the band at 1st also, but after going to the orientation I learned the failure rate of the band is pretty high. I had RNY 10/29. Down 28lbs! Feeling better every day! Good luck with everything!

I agree with mommytyree. The pretty face comment drives me crazy! People really are clueless.

On week 3, down 28lbs!!! . This week I was able to have half a scrambled egg, low sugar oatmeal, and tuna with mayo. Everything seems to be going well. How's everyone doing?
