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

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! HW: 350 SW: 302 CW: 242.5 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!

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

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 :-)

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

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!!

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

Me too!!!

The protein shakes are now making me gag... I don't know if I can do this until next Tuesday by post- op 2 week follow up.
