VGB2RNY

I haven't ahead any acid reflux symptoms since my revision to RNY in May 2013.

I'm taking vitamins and feeling much better! Down 70 lbs

I took your advice! The Virginians seem to give me more energy too!

I had my surgery May 2nd. Life without GERD is amazing!

Weight loss is slow but study! I'm down 45 lbs from my highest weight of 371! I loss 5 lbs prior to surgery. Today I weigh 326. My goal is 250 or MAYBE 200. Hanging in there and not bad 45 lbs in 2 months. I was hoping for 60 "a pound a day"!

Thanks! I will!

My surgery was May 2nd. No signs of Acid Reflux since surgery! (knock on wood) I developed Gerd about 13 years ago but never associated it with my lap band until I had the endoscopy.

Post op 6 weeks slow loser. I have only lost 35 lbs. I still make excuses to my self as to why I am not losing more. Truth is I'm not exercising and I barely take the vitamins. I'm still eating a pinch here and there! Instead of a complete meal. Meal choices are limited because I'm not much of a cook and as a former junk food eater. I haven't found many health foods I like. I haven't exercised much because my ankles hurt so bad from my chronic Tendonitis, bursitis and heel spurs! I cant tAke ibuprofen anymore so I ache all the time!! My orthopedic surgeon is finally ready to do surgery to fix my tensions. But I am afraid that could slow down my weight loss. Because it has a 6 week non weight bearing healing period! So since I'm not walking a friend recommend I try riding a stationary bike so I'm looking into joining a gym. Then I might try swimming. I return to work in 2 weeks and I fear the stress will wear me out and cause me to sit around snacking. I don't always eat full meals i concentrate on getting my dAily protein and liquids (gatorade and water). I fear dumping so i don't seem to eat enough which causes me to snack alot. currently snack on almonds, gold fish, pistachios, sunflower seeds, fresh fruit!. All in moderation. I don't like any of the protein bars or mixes so I don't use them. Please give me some suggestions on healthy foods, snacks and exercises.

No I lost sensation just to the right of my belly from my first weight loss surgery 15 yrs ago. I still have slight numbness all around my belly.

Ugh I can't stand it either! But I have never been a yogurt eater! Change in habits are so hard to make!

I buy a cup of broccoli soup from Panera's and it's two servings for me. I eat it with no problem. At only 11 days out from surgery.

No but I will be searching my Sam's club for it!

Sazzygirl How is your recovery going? Are you still on Clear Liquids? I'm on full liquids since Thursday. Appetite is returning and I desire something tasty other than Soup Jello and juice.
