just stay focused and push past this my doc surg says this happens with every RNY patient just keep on keepin on ...

Kristi, I am with ya here sista, the mobile app kinda sucks! RJ

Team June, Thanks for those much needed words of support and comradeship I think the problem was I was not measuring my daily goals , Fitness pal , Pedometer , Bathroom scale. I guess even-though I know i am doing well i still need the measurements to verify and reinforce my conviction. one day i wont need to track as religiously as i was but apparently that day is way in the future today I feel better about what I'm seeing, Just had one of those days... back on track to awesomeness. Thanks Again RJ

I know this journey is only beginning and ive made more progress in the past year than i have made in 30 years . but why do i hate the camera and what it sees ..... I'm down 155 lbs and half way to my goal , but today had some pics taken with the family today , And all I see is a fat guy , am i totally F.U.ed for the rest of my life .. Solid but could use some support RJ

Best Decision you have ever made for YOU!!. The first couple of months suck but thats just getting use to the change in the way you eat and the overall change in your life. I know its hard to get your head around but you will doing things you haven't done in years ... oh and you smile, ALOT!!! congratulations on the approval , If I can be of any help with advise or support look me up. RJ

Is any one having issues with the mobile Android app. i think they made the change to take our mind on food and foucs on this FUed app.......not a big fan of this new site yet ....are all of the junies here and has everone checked in ! how about a roll call, ill start Media Pa......Present!

Holy Crap , I thought all of you were gone forever. Glad this was an option ... missed everyone :-)

I am so happy for you. My day is made :-)....Have a great time in Vegas

Woo Hoo...... congratulations

Happy Sunday Junies ...... i have added fish oil to my vitamin supplements at a friends recommendation. It helps the heart, brain & skin. And while my heart & brain are strong and solid , my skin is.....? awesome! give it a try it actually makes a difference. RJ

Baby powder seems to making a huge difference.

DISCOURAGED???? Girl you are rockin this RNY thing like a champ. Be patient it will move. Don't Get freaked out, i agree with you fiancee you may need to back off the recording thing for a week. It may be stress that causing the stall. Let us know how you progress RJ

Best. Of luck with the surgery . Just be prepared mentally for what's coming. The physical aspect of the journey is easier than the mental reconditioning of a life time of learned bad habits...in my humble opinion. STAY FOCUSED ON THE PRIZE ....it is so worth it. Your life completely changes for the positive if you truly are committed to being successful. If you ever need us we are just a post away :-) The liquid diet is not for the faint of heart. Just don't cheat and you will get past it. Anyone can do anything necessary for two quick weeks when the reward is SO GREAT.. Have a great day! RJ

Happy Birthday. SLIM! :-)

Tonight i may have experienced true bliss :-) Found a Salad tonight from Trader Joes that i could eat with no" issues " kale with edamame, cherries, sliced almonds, scalions, cherry tomatos and a very light and tasty creamy pepper vinigrette...... yum 16 grams of Protein to boot !!!

YEA !!!!!! you look amazing congratulations.

Hey Now, I wish to thank all of the members of my June RNY Family for the support. you all are awesome and very special individuals. I never forget that you are part of my support team and we all share in each others success. I think of all of your comments and posts when I am struggling to get up that last hill or when im head hungry at 11 PM. ALL of your posts have helped me now and will get me to my goal. Have a great week RJ

So i got very brave today and purchased a digital bathroom scale to help me better measure my progress and keep me focused . I promised myself a week or bi-weekly weigh in so i don't drive myself into a obsessive compulsive tailspin. Fortunately for me i threw caution to the wind and hopped on the scale (Please note this has been my mortal enemy for decades) and to my surprise i am down another 18 lbs! Yipee . This puts me ahead of my goal to be in the 200"s for Thanksgiving. As of today's glorious date i am down a total of 145 lbs since i started this program 1 year ago At this rate i should be ( God willing and the Creek don't rise ) at my goal weight of 180 Lbs by May of 2014. Thanks you God for letting me find Dr.Richard Ing and the entire team at The Bryn Mawr Hospitals Bariactric center. . Hope everyone is have a Beautiful Sunday. RJ
