You go girl, Vicki!!!! :-D

It's been 4 months and I'm feeling great. so far I've lost 65lbs went from a size 3x to now XL/1x and I'm able to tolerate everything. I don't dump, have nausea or any of that stuff. I've been very very careful with my eating and chewing. however I am experiencing hair loss which I know a lot of rnys have to go through. it started around my 3 month post op but I think it has slowed down (I hope). life has been pretty normal.. I have more confidence now.. and actually feel good about myself. before this I was in a very dark place but things are going ok now. a little about my diet I have Protein throughout the day such as fish, chicken, Beans, etc along with my veggies. that's basically the only way I eat of course and I absolutely love it! no rice, no Pasta, bread, etc.. which I find is so great. I love this diet and will always follow it for the rest of my life. I l have no interest in those old carby foods.. anyways.. I'm really looking forward and can't wait to see myself on my 1 year surgiversary. I hope everyone is doing well and good luck to those now starting/already on their journey wishing everyone the best new year filled with great health and success. take care all ♥

Congrats to you all, stay focus and take one day at a time the weight will come off, remember you did not gain the weight overnight. I am 7 months post opt you will gave stalls but remember as long as your eating right everything will be ok . Good luck.

Congratulations Vickie, we both had our RNY the same month. I'm doing good so far too. I hope to hear about your progress in the months to come.

thanks so much!! and not sure if gas x helps. but nice hot herbal teas will be your best friend! I've been drinking green tea or even lipton. any nice hot herbal tea in general helps to get the gas out of you. it must only be Decaf though (instructed by doctors and nutritionist for our safety of ulcers that can be caused by caffeine). works great for me it will have you burping it all out for sure haha. also must always be hot to get the job done if it gets too cold doesn't work much oh and same goes for your broth it helps also cause it's nice and hot . good luck to you!!

My surgery was on the 27th. and the first 1-2 days was kinda rough from all the painful soreness and gas inside of me from surgery.but it has gotten better every day. I'm feeling great.. soreness is fading nicely, I feel like the gas is almost out of me, no bowel obstructions, i'm going to the bathroom fine. I'm feeling almost quite normal again. I'm on Clear liquids and it's going down nicely. I do miss chewing and taste of food though. but I just remind myself this isn't forever only temporary. I'm looking forward to pureed stage when these 2 weeks are up. so I can have some nice tuna and scrambled eggs..all the nice healthly stuff. anywayss just wanted to do update on everything..oh and as for surgery that was some experience for me.. never had any type of surgery before.. I was very nervous but when the moment came I walked into surgery room braver than ever. didn't even know when I fell asleep and it felt like it was over before I even knew it. only problem was gas and soreness when I woke up which is normal. but everything is going great. and I'm really excited for my new healthy lifestyle. good luck to everyone undergoing and who is already post up! woo oh also my Migraines went bye bye my constant hunger always triggered them every single day. so two main problems have been solved. now just waiting for my third..which is losing weight and getting to nice healthly bmi. !

Ugh...this pre-op liquid diet is brutal..and I'm a Migraine sufferer..so not eating makes me feel super sick!! and also makes me get really bad Migraines ofc..-sigh-Idk what to do...surgery is August 27th.....It's really hard since my stomach isn't smaller yet..and sadly I've cheated a little x_x this is just insane..... :'( I feel so scared and guilty..
