I am one year today. Yes this is my surgery anniversary. One of the best decsions I have ever made. I sometimes eat oatmeal (low sugar or all natural) and each packet is one serving. Is one serving too much???? I used to not be able to finish it - I could make almost 2 meals out of the one package. But now I can, so I am curious if it's too much oatmeal. Thanks

I am 10 months out FYI... Had breast surgery yesterday. My question is: What is the quickest way for Percoset to take effect: On empty stomach or with food for delivery? What is your experience. Not concerned about nausea FYI. Also, did you break the pill up for faster delivery? And yes, I know I can ask my Doctors but want your experiences please. Thanks!

Have to read all this at length but your stats are similar to mine (I am 5'4 and was high weight 237. 199 when I had my RNY about 10 months ago). What is your age?

just came from the doctor because I am being cleared for surgery (non RNY related) and my blood work showed severe anemia (this has been usual for me) extremely low Vit D (also usual for me) and very low B12 I have had Iron & D prescriptions regularly for many years, but dont recall ever having B12 checked.... So, I know for a fact that INCREASED B12 causes hunger, thus I am a little concerned about taking a B12 supplement. Also, I can find tons of comments on google about B12 increasing hunger. Thoughts? oh and also, I gained 2 lbs and havent lost a pound in 7 weeks now.

So I am almost 10 months out.... my recovery and journey so far has been amazing!!! With exception to a non WLS issue, I have had ZERO problems.... then POOF - about 2 weeks ago my appetite became ferocious. And I am eating too often, and too much through the day..... I am 20 lbs from my goal weight, and nearing -100 loss since surgery. My weight loss has stalled several times and been slow for the past 3 months. I keep a food log, watch calories, fat, carbs, portion size, and I exercise..... I cannot figure out why I have been so hungry though. This is the problem. I had NO hunger for 8-9 months. I have looked at my daily routine, not changed any Vitamins, nothing is really different. I am hoping this just passes....meanwhile I am trying to keep my eating under control..... Also, I gained 3 lbs in the past 2 weeks. Any suggestions or has anyone been through this and what was your result? Also, I am not a food addict - I AM hungry (You can see my stats in my profile and my signature)

If you are looking for anonymity, I would suggest this website and its forums and to void FB. I belonged to a private hidden group once - the 2 admins later had a fight and one booted the other and changed the settings in their drama - the group was exposed for about 12 hours. 12 hours was long enough for many members to be outraged! Also, I like how people here can post their stats, info, blogs, pictures.... On the right side of these forums, all the newest posts scroll - I think regardless of which forum they are posted to. One thing though is that some of the forums here are very slow movers.

I am 9 months out - hot dog is one food I have NOT touched yet. Doubt I will..... how far out are you and was it an all beef hot dog?

personally, if you are settled and progressing with what you are taking, then DO NOT change it.... I HATE the smell of coffee and have to deal with it in the office ALL DAMN DAY LONG. Also, I am 9 months out and no matter how many times I brush/floss/rinse, I have bad breath. I refuse to eat mints all day. Just be a little more discreet - such as change your cup washing habits maybe. Perhaps get a really nice smelling air freshener to keep near your desk. Your post kind of made me angry at the intolerance of people to simple things. If the diabetic employee has a certain diet that causes them to have stinky gas all day (yes a co-worker), and someone said to them that they smell, I would FLIP. They have made great compromises without having to jeopardize their diet.

thank you all..... Didn't have Tylenol but did have/take an acetaminophen - then went to bed. Had no adverse effects and I think it helped with the pain..... however, it is 830am and I am once again in pain incidentally, I am seeing doctor again today to get the surgery date for a left breast lumpectomy and node removal (thankfully benign). Hopefully it will be next week.

Having surgery next week (unrelated to my RNY) and in a ton of pain tonight. I am 9 months post-op. I have NEVER taken pain meds since surgery. What can I take tonight and how many? I have taken only a few NyQuil tablets thanks

I think hubby treatment killed my sex life. I actually wondered if this was the case for myself too since I thought we were headed for a separation.... but it may not be. I have ZERO interest in sex - not with him, not with another, and not even with myself.

I can say that I do feel sexier.... however, I have lost ALL sex drive. I have wondered if it was a hormone thing. My hubby is fantastic <sexually>, but I have wondered what the heck is up with me. I look amazing and can wear anything with confidence.

did your friend explain why she lost her desire by any chance?

I am 9 months out. I am doing great. My weight loss has been slow and is slowing down. I know how I should be eating as well as how much but I suddenly feel so lost about it this week. I dont know why this is. Would anyone who is a year out, be able to post pics of their meals?? Like, post a picture of your plate with the food on it, or your bowls of soup or salad - anything. This would be so helpful to me. Even if you can post links to other pics, I dont care. Thank you!!!!
