For pre-ops who have heard RNY horror stories...
Couldn't have said it better!! It really takes help and support. My kids have been my rock so supportive and so kind. My daughter came up and gave me the biggest hug today (she is 15), and told me how proud of me she was for "going through all of this so they can have a healthy mom". I started to tear up!

You will not be disappointed. It is a long tough road but I wouldn't change my decision for the world!!

How can I tell I'm full? How do I know if I'm drinking slow enough?
I get pain in my back and feel like I have to hiccup. So cool how our body figures out a new way to tell us to STOP!

Friday Weigh-In!
You inspired me to try on all my jeans this morning. I can say bye bye to my 20's my 18's fit great, and so do some of my 16's. The BEST part is even though some of them were pretty darn tight, I could put ALL of my 16's on and button them up! So incredibly thrilled. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Nothing felt better than looking in the mirror and seeing myself in those jeans!!

You're doing great, we are all in the same boat. It is a trial everyday. We all have to find out what works for us. Stick with the plan your surgeon and NUT gave to you and you can't go wrong.

Thyroidectomy and WLS...
I had a total thyroidectomy in 2004 after having thyroid cancer. I have been on synthroid since and it was the first question that I asked my doc before I even considered surgery. He told me that they were safe and small enough to take after surgery however, I was very worried about them being absorbed properly. I take my faithfully every night and I break them up with my front teeth and wash the bits down with a sip of water. I have read that if you do this or dissolve them in water they will absorb better and I don't want to take any chances. I am 16 days post op and I have lost 18lbs. So, I think my weight loss is probably average. I however am going to make sure that I keep a close eye on my TSH in the coming weeks and months to make sure it stays where it needs to be.
