233... Down from 334 when I started! 101lbs gone forever and about 70-80 more to go!!!

I'm the same because I'm unsure of what my goal weight will be. Right now I'm at 238 and thats the smallest I've been since probably a teenager. But you look great so keep up the good work!

Thank you! I'm the smallest I've been since probably jr. High.. I'm in a pants size I haven't worn since 8th grade!! It's an amazing feeling though! My short term goal is under 200 and I guess I will see how I feel from there :-)

When does that nasty taste in your mouth after you wake up in the morning go away?! It's awful!!!!

Progress so far!

Goal: unsure yet

At 258 this AM... That's 48lbs since my RNY on 06/03/13!! That's 80lbs since starting my journey towards surgery!

What part? Who's your surgeon?

I live near Augusta but my surgeon is DR Toder from EMMC in Bangor

nikiMarie I have some down low. I ate cracker! I have been slacking...sick of the blended stuff.

It's ok, I had one or two during the liquid phase myself! Although now that I'm able to eat solids I can't eat bread or anything like that! Hmmph frustrating at times!

Hey there! I'm 28 and just had my surgery on June 3rd... Been an interesting journey so far, but feel so much better now!

The Unjury chicken Soup was pretty decemt

No more blood pressure medicine!

Perhaps I'm being too hard on myself.. But I find myself stepping on the scale once in the morning and once at night... I'm slightly upset because tonight I'm up two lbs from yesterday.... Is this normal?! I'm following the diet plan from my surgeon, and I'm 3 almost 4 weeks post op...

It's called " what I received from my penpal!" There's a bunch of people there! Hope it helps

I'm from Maine :-)

There's actually already a thread for them... Let me see if I can find it for you again :-)

Ok cool. Thanks. I was worried. :-)

You're welcome!! I worry about a lot too! This is all new!

Goal 157

Surgery date June 3, 13

Is it weird that I can tolerate way more than 2-3 ounces of fluids at a time?

No.. Your pouch should eventually be able to do 8oz. Of liquid... Not so much food though

Just a thought but we take all these Vitamin supplements, wouldn't it be nice if they had one for Protein too? These shakes are killing me, I think they taste terrible!!

Baby food is high in sugar and carbs and fat because it's purpose is to fatten babies up. My surgeon highly suggests not going anywhere near it. It also has no Protein so it's pretty much useless for your post op diet

I'm not sure what baby food you are looking at but the food I fed my two kiddos had no added sugar or carbs.. It was just puréed veggies.... You are correct in most of it has no Proteins

I didn't have a drain either..

I'm 5 days post op too and feel every single thing you're feeling and more. Today is a miserable day. All the gas built back up again' date=' diarrhea, and a white tongue too. I just want to stay in bed. I have had about 24 oz Fluid so far, definitely won't make 64 today. I also have zero help and have to manage housework.[/quote']

I had surgery the same day as you, my tongue is still white, though there are now Patches where it's finally clearing up.. But the gas omg! I wish I could just stick a needle to deflate myself!! That's the most miserable part, no matter how much I move!!!

Just found out I'm having robot assisted laparoscopic RNY. Apparently the stand you on your head for the entire procedure because of the robot.

So they tell me I can look forward to swelling around my face and neck. Hmmmm that doesn't sound like fun at all

I had mine done robotically and I laid flat just like normal surgery... Weird they would tip you!

I just want to chew or crunch something.

Me too!!!

Wow I just love having to do the Dr.'s work and the insurance's work for them!!! I called the Dr to see if they had submitted my paperwork to insurance' date=' and come to find out they wanted me to see the psych one more time...nice of them to tell me...then I had to call the insurance company because the two times I saw the psych they denied as out of network....but guess what...she is...so they are having to resubmit the claim...I just need to have this over with!!!!!

Also on a side note, was extremely embarrassed today! Went to give blood and found out I'm too fat. MY HUSBAND WORKS FOR THE RED CROSS!!! I flipped out on him!! Why didn't he tell me the weight limit???? He could have saved me a whole lot of embarrasment!!![/quote']

Never heard of their being a weight limit to donate blood... I've never had any issues.

So far ive lost 12 lbs since last wednesday :-)... 46 in Total ... i do have to say I am having the worst time with Protein Shakes makes me feel queazy but I went and did something alil crazy and poached an egg in my Soup and blended it to my broth and man I feel so much better I need the Protein and alil sodium bloated still but Ladies please try the Fuze Slenderized I am serious they are not bad and have Vitamins and help flush ur system :-) I love them ...
