Been awhile since I weighed in & posted. Sw 229 (3/13) Cw 142 87lbs lost!

I just took mine whole.

Compression sleeves work well. I've ordered mine in the past on amazon.

Yesterday I flew from Texas to Oregon. The seatbelt had an extra 8 inches, I fit entirely on the seat, the tray came down with many inches to spare, plus the best thing was not feeling like I was huffing and puffing trying to get to different gates.. Not just with my carryon but I was also carrying a little 10 lb dog with me in another carryon! I felt great!

Haven't tried whole grain, but I've had Dreamfields low carb pasta. I've done ok with it. I eat such a small amount. For example 6-8 pieces of rotini or penne. Sometimes I don't even finish that.

The muffins sound great!

Yay 6 month check up and doctor says I've lost 90% of my excess weight!! Woo hoo! Now to get that other 10% off plus maybe some more!!

I drink premier Protein in chocolate. Can find them at SAMs & costco. Only ones I could stomach. As far as the shots some of the patients in my support group add them to 32oz of Water and just sip on it all day. They say you can't hardly taste them in the water. Otherwise I have to agree they are probably worse than butt, which I have not tasted lol! Gave mine away to support group.

Premier Protein chocolate shake.

I've tried it. I only eat it in very small amounts and not often. Tastes like regular Pasta to me. It's the only kind I buy now. HW 229, SW 214, CW 153 RNY 3/14/13

Loveme0629 you look great! HW 229, SW 214, CW 153 RNY 3/14/13

Looks like your weight loss has been great! My surgery was 3/14 and starting weight was 229 current weight 153. I had lots of complications and ended up back in hospital for awhile, but everything's on track now. I think the stalls are normal but that's just my opinion. Good luck finding a new doctor. Congratulations on your loss so far!

"Only 80"! Omg that is great! I think you are doing a great job! HW 229, SW 214, CW 153 RNY 3/14/13

Promax Vanilla Marshmallow protein bar! They are so yummy! Thy must be super popular because they are sold out everywhere and back ordered until October all over the Internet. HW 229, SW 214, CW 153 RNY 3/14/13

Great job on your loss! Water upsets my pouch too unless I add lemon or lime juice. Then it goes fine.

I was ok'd to drive as soon as I was able to be off of pain meds. although a week out I was still letting hubby drive me because I got tired so easy. Other people on here must be driving after a week cause there are quite a few who go back to work. HW 229, SW 214, CW 153 RNY 3/14/13

Ok well I feel a little better knowing its not just me stalling out my 6 month checkup is next week on the 10th. My surgeon retired (military) so I get to meet one of the new surgeons coming on board. I hope everything goes well. I go in for my six month labs tomorrow. hope everyone gets past this crazy stall!

Mine has been like that since Friday :/ and i am 5 1/2 months post op! Can't wait for it to be ok again.

I'm right there with you! Lost 5 lbs this month. At least it's 5 lbs.

Another grouchy pouch day :/ tonight's dinner = 8 baby carrots and some ranch. Protein shake this morning, about 2/3 of one didnt sit well. Tried a little chicken noodle soup with no noodles...also didnt like that. Grouchy pouch go away! HW 229, SW 214, CW 153 RNY 3/14/13

I had rny on 3/14. I had complications from a leak and ended up back in the hospital for 16 more days. 14 of those days I was NPO as well as on TPN thru my PICC line. I would never wish that on anyone. Just hang in there it gets better. I'm 6 months out in just a few weeks and down 76lbs. Things have been much better for the last three months. Wishing you a speedy recovery. HW 229, SW 214, CW 153 RNY 3/14/13

I loved the refried beans too! I also did a baked ricotta with spaghetti sauce on top and some cheese. Mmm mmm good. Makes me want some now and I'm almost 6 months post op!

Hope you are feeling better. I'm so sorry you are having complications.
