Down 64 pounds!! Surgery date 10/30/13

I stay away from carbs as much as possible. I get all my Protein & Vitamins in. I think it's bc I'm more active.

So I'm 3 months post op and I've lost 63 pounds so far. I'm am very pleased with my progress and I've started to exercise. I have been training for a 5k so I've started running on top of aerobics and weight lifting and I've noticed here lately that my appetite has increased. I was just wondering if this is normal??

Surgery 10/30/13.

I went back after 4 days and had no problems. I have a desk job so it was easy on me. I have a very lenient boss.

September 21, 2013 to December 31, 2013

Surgery 10/30/13 only down 25 since surgery and a total if 52 since September.

When I was a few days out my husband cooked some rice & I wanted to throw up bc the smell was so terrible!!

If she has concerns she needs to contact her doctor.

I tried on my old size 18 jeans & the fit great & comfortably!!! I started & a size 22/24 my surgery was 10/30/13.

5 weeks

I am so happy to hear I'm not the only one that is a slow loser!! I am 3 weeks PO and have only lost 5 pounds too!! It is so frustrating!! Everyone keeps telling me to be patient but I can't help it I want it off!!!!! Lol!!

Was wondering from other RNY patients how long your hospital stay was and how long before you returned to work? I have an easy desk job and need to get back to work ASAP.

I had surgery in 10/30/13 and was released 11/1/13. I went back to work on 11/4/13 I too have an easy desk job. The only thing is you have to be able to walk some do you don't get blood clots.

HW:296 SW:269 CW:260. I had my surgery on 10/30/13.

Surgery was 10/30/13. Starting weight 296, first doc appointment 288, pre surgery appointment 274, day of surgery 269, day home from surgery 264 and I haven't lost any since. I'm hoping to see some improvements soon!!

Try egg whites. I add them to a flavored drink. It adds Protein, and to me it taste no different.

I'll have to look for these. Thank you!

I am lactose & tolerant so I have to use soy Protein and all I can find is vanilla flavored. I was able to drink them b4 surgery & the flavor was fine but now I gag every time I drink them. I'm trying some syntax (I think that's what it is) protein today it's lactose free. Idk just trying to figure it all out.

I am 11 days post op and I am have a very hard time getting all my Protein in. The best I've done is around 40 grams and my worst day has been around 12 grams. I am starting to worry about it.

Im five weeks post op.. I noticed I could drink a whole bottle of 20 onz Water.. I have read a lot of ppl saying they have trouble drinking the 64 onz required.. Is it normal that I could drink the whole bottle like in 30 minutes? Im I exagerating or what im doing is wrong? I do it because my body ask me for Water I feel the desired of drinking it.

I am the same way I drank a lot of water b4 and maybe that is why I can now. Idk. I don't think it's a problem if you can drink that much. Oh and I'm only 2 days out.

I just want to say congratulation to everyone that had their surgeries this month!! I look forward to hearing about all of the progress we all are going to make!! Everyone has been so helpful and comforting. Good luck everyone!!

Hear you on the breathing pain. My surgeon said walking will def help as you need to breathe deeper when exercising. Meds are gross but serve their purpose but when you get home you can take another soluble pain med.

My deep breathing is a lot better now. I've almost got all of the gas out but I can still fill it bubbling. Lol. When I picked up all my medicine I had the pharmacist put a flavor in it, it's still nasty but nothing like before!!

I hope you are doing well. I got to come home today.

I had mine on the 30th and should be getting out of here today!! I can't wait. I some dull pain in my left side and it hurts when I take a deep breath but I'm refusing my pain meds. They taste terrible & it makes me gag which is worse than the pain I have.

Surgery date 1/08/13 Sw 234 Cw 155 Out with the OLD!! And in with the NEW!!!!

Girl you look great!! Congrats on your success!!

Thanks Janifer!!
