Hey speaking of being thankful on this day, I have been active in this forum since before my surgery and have not seen the creator Mandee80 on here in months. Does anyone else know is she is posting ? If it were not for her we would have never teamed up. If your out there Mandee80 thank you for getting this RNY June 2013 Forum started . I have meet the most awesome & committed people in this forum and wanted you to know you made a difference in this mans journey. Happy Thanksgiving RJ

Thats awesome news about your parents and thier reaction. Happy " No PIE" Thanksgiving!!! :-)

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. we all have been given and earned this new chance at life be thankful and enjoy your family and friends today. RJ

I know myself well enough to know if there was a way to cheat I would fond it and feel horrible later , So based on my BMI amd my past history I chose RNY, The right tool for the right job!! I work well with a regiment so between the restrictions on intake and fat,calories,carbs coupled with the surgery and the great job my team did of helping me break my bad habits. this is a winning combo to a healthy life long change In my opinion the surgery what ever one chooses is worthless if you are not ready and willing to make the changes in your life that will lead to health and happiness.

So i had a meeting at our technology center down the street today and while i talk to the people in this building several hundred times a day i only see them twice a year at best. people were floored at the diffrence in my apperance. my meeting buddy Jon made me laugh he said he felt like the ugly one on a double date...ha! so im pretty full of my awesome self tonight. it strengthened my resolve to crush the rny thing and nail my goal weight by my surgerversy.

UK-RNY , Sorry to hear about this experience , I had RNY and I take it you had the sleeve so i am unsure if this applies? at six weeks i was told to measure everything because the nerves in the pouch were severed and you cannot judge the sensation of fullness properly. As to your lack of regularity I have been adding a Fiber additive ( sugar-free orange Metamucil) to my vanilla flavored Protein shakes since day one and it keeps me on schedule like the trains (TMI so sorry ) I also tried tried Chinese take away about 3 months out . I had General Taos Tofu 3 or 4 small chunks and i was happy as a clam . Next day tried the same amount for lunch and it stuck like a car in rush hour traffic .. It was horrible , since then i have been unable to work up the nerve to try any again. I hope this is not permanent , I love Chinese food. Have a great day , RJ
