Weight today : 144 lbs.

Dr. Isn't in today so they have me an appt. for tomorrow morning but said if it becomes unbearable tonight to go to E.R

Glad ur feeling better! I took it as long as he prescribed it to me for as long as he told me to so I don't know, guess they are all different... I haven't had any pain at all after the first 3 weeks and no problems or complications, but I will let everyone know the outcome!

Well I'm 6 months post op and my surgeon did give me urisodol (spelling) a pill to help prevent gall bladder issues, I took it for like a month and a half after surgery but who knows!

Thanks! My hubby said the same thing ! I will call my surgeon first thing in the morning! Thank you again for giving me an answer' was just hoping it was something less serious and no surgery involved.... My house falls apart and people forget how to cope when I'm not home running everything! Ha ha!!!

So since Friday evening I have been feeling really bad ! I have had this horrible pain under my ribs but above my belly button in the middle. It hurts soo bad especially at night and always after I eat... No matter if I just have a protein shake it actual food. I only eat lean meat and a few bites of non starchy veggies. Since it started I can only eat maybe 1.5-2oz and then I feel sick and gassy and am in excruciating pain for hours... Not to mention diarreah all weekend... I have absolutely no clue what is wrong with me... Before Friday my health was perfect with no problems at all!!! Anyone have a clue what's going on?

Had mandarin orange chicken only 6g sugar. Didn't realize it was breaded so I tried to cut the breaking off. Musta missed some and immediately came right back up.. I was soo done after that!!

I like to add canned pumpkin to my oatmeal and pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon as well, mix in a Dan of butter and Splenda brown sugar blend and it is amazingly delicious !!!

So I went for my yearly and have a new dr. she asked what I was taking for BC and I said nothing and she stressed how easily I can get pg if I'm not on BC... I explained my infertility and at the end of the visit she said well I guess I will see you when u come in pregnant... I was like uh huh That will be in 2000....never! But if its meant to be it will happen and if it isn't I guess it won't. I'm not stressing over it anymore!

Congrats! Sounds like your doing great! Keep up the good work but don't overdo it.

Got in real late around 9 son had a football game so I opted for a protein shake.. If I eat late I heartburn so hoping this wont give me heartburn. Fingers crossed!

I think everyone has given you great advice! Everyone has a different point of view and I am really hoping DL will chime in on this as well!! Before surgery I would have never deemed myself a food addict, someone out of control, a binge eater or someone who eats to comfort or control her feelings... I thought I had a good handle on portion size, sensible eating, I thought I made healthy choices and couldn't understand why I was sooo fat! Little did I know, I was my own worst enemy and after I had RNY I started to really get to know what was really going on! I realized just how much of my life revolved around food !! How much sugar and fat and sweets and carbs I craved and shoved into my body on a daily basis! But what was really eye opening was how I came to realize that for all the years I had been solving problems and pacifying my emotions with unhealthy food! By not being able to eat those foods anymore and only drinking liquids, then "baby food" 3 times a day only... I was able to reconnect with my true self and was made aware just how addicted I was to coping with all of life's hardships by replacing affection, love, disappointment, guilt and every other emotion with food! Food was ALWAYS there for me, food never let me down! Food gave me such an incredible high!! It made me content ! The fact that you can already admit and see this means your that much closer to breaking the habits! You CAN change the way you feel and think about food! RNY can be a wonderful "tool" to help you achieve your goals, but YOU have to put forth the effort and change your old habits for life! With the support of the right therapist, Dr.s, friends and family you can and WILL succeed through your journey ! And as always you have the support from all of us! Good luck on your road ahead!

I would give anything to be in your shoes!!! Prior to surgery I had my tubes put back together and my husband is young and has no children. That was almost 4 years ago!!! They said he's good to go and I'm good to go... 3 miscarriages later we still have no baby : ( the last miscarriage was in Dec 2011 and nothing since! I still don't use protection since 3 months post op and no BC and still nothing!!! I am really starting to think we need to both just accept that we will never have children together and it breaks my heart... But how wonderful that you are being blessed with such a wonderful gift and miracle!

Krystal, I'm only 4'11" short but I have alot of muscle and apparently have always carried my weight well! In my profile pic I was a size 8 and probably about 165-170 lbs.

Krystal, my goal set by my dr. Is 120lbs. Went for my 6 month follow up and he was amazed at how great I looked, he said who set your goal weight at 120, because you look amazing!' I said you did and he was like oh wow!! What do I know!! He said I think you look fantastic at 145, not sure if you new to be 120... You may look too thin!! It felt great hearing that! I'm not super skinny or anything and still curvy in all the right places! I wear a size 6 pants and a small to medium top and dress depending on the brand.

I noticed when I would have a big stall it was because I wasn't eating enough and as soon as I would up by food even by a half an ounce my weight would start dropping again. My dr told me not eating enough is just as bad as eating too much.

I recently got a tattoo on my forearm and the tattoo artist kept commenting on how tiny my arms were...

Last week : 147 Today: 145 - 25 to goal !!!

Congratulations!!! I'm soo happy for you!!

Baked chicken and carrots

He upped my Diamox to 1,000mg a day and finally feeling some relief! He also has me on 20mg of Lasix and an anti-migraine pill called Propranolol.

So I went from 150 on Friday to 147 today !!!! Soo freakin happy!!

Congrats Julee !!! Keep up the good work !

Happy Birthday !!! And enjoy your cake while you can!!! I haven't had any sweets since my RNY almost 6 months ago!!!

He used to... So I took it away only because it causes me to get migraines.... Any heavy smells do! I kept telling him how to properly wear cologne and finally the last few months it sank in! He loves to look at himself in the mirror and match his shoes to his outfits... I think he has more shoes than everyone in the house put together... And his clothes MUST be name brand... If I didn't know any better I would think I was raising a teenage girl! He's also on the football team(second year) and he thinks he's all that ! But I love him to death ; ) He's the one with the red hair, the blonde is his little brother.. Totally different personalities!!! He's the one with no number on his jersey
