  1. Wow I'm looking at my picture on here and it's crazy the change:) what a great gift we have done
  2. Hi DL. I had you e mail me a list of foods and snacks when I first had my bypass and my e mail messed up so o no longer have it. Is there any way you could e mail me again! Any tips or foods. Thanks jeaniek@cox.net
  3. Thanks for your help. I have done pretty good with what I take. A multi, b-12, vitamin d, biotin, iron and calcium. I don't take iron like I should. I tend to forget. All my levels test out great I was just wondering what all everyone else has to take:)
  4. I am almost one year out on July 23. Just curious what vitamins you all are taking? I have a dr appointment soon and sure he will go over everything that I need to continue.
  5. I had RNY July 23 2014. Everything was going well and then I was having a lot of pain in my abdomen. Long story short he couldn't find anything so he wanted to do Exploratory And look so I did, it was twisted bowels and a lot of scar tissue. He fixed me up and I felt much better. It was Due to losing weight so fast. So everything went well and then this month I had a gallbladder attack, very painful had to go back in and have it removed. So I have had 3 yes 3 laparoscopic surgeries in a year. I feel great. I am in pretty good shape I think but it has not been a problem for me. I just make sure to take my vitamins and exercise to keep strong. I wish you lots of luck. Starting weight 277 Surgery weight 266 Currently 169
  6. Surgery date - July 23,2014 Starting weight 276 Surgery date 267 Current weight 169 Happy I finally took the time for me. I have a great support at home and hope I'm not done yet????
  7. I have slacked off with my diet and water intake. Today is the day I am getting back in control. Now with that said I haven't done that bad but I will not go backwards. We work way to hard. I like the way I feel. I like the things I can do now! Forward on!!! ☺️
  8. Had RNY July 13 2014 almost a year out. Im very happy. I have not been losing anymore weight at all for a few months. I really want to lose about 10 more pounds. Any ideas on how to jump start losing again? I walk at least 5 days a week about 4 miles. I could do better on my diet. Ideas??
  9. Good luck! Best thing you can do for yourself ! I'm thankful. Walk as much as you can. Drink water
  10. Wow! My rny gastric bypass was 7/23/14. I have done great except I have had these same pains on my left side. Went in because my dr thought it was a obstruction he cleaned up scar tissue and made sure everything was good. guess what I'm still having these pains. It's not daily but it's pretty often. It last a while everything is good and then it hits and I double over in pain. It hurts to walk or move. Is this the same signs you had ? Please keep me posted I have a ton of questions now :/
  11. I had the Mirena IUD done. It will last 5 years. No problems so far. I don't have a period no weight gain for me. Everything seems to be good. I have had it for 3 months now.
  12. Thank you! I will be getting some tomorrow! Good grief I'm not even tired at all!
  13. So I am 6 months out. Everything has been going well but now all the sudden I can't sleep. I don't even know if there is something I can take over the counter to help.
  14. I have a call in to dr but was just wondering
  15. Can bypass patients take Tamaflu?
  16. July friends I need help. Rny gastric bypass. Start wt 276. Surgery wt 246 today wt 187. Total loss 89 pounds. I had surgery july 23. I am really proud of myself but I'm stalled for a month now. I would love to drop at least 20 more pounds, if I don't it IS ok because my goal was 180 to 190( the dr set it) I know it's not even my 6 month mark yet . I know I have not done everything by the book.I feel hungry all the sudden. I'm not sure if this is in my head or if I'm hungry. If I have stretched my pouch or can you do that? I have read so many things. I'm thinking I should maybe go back to protein shakes once or twice A day to see if I can jump start a loss again. Also I have read where some people can't tolerate any sugar. Is it weird that I can. Not a lot but I can eat a little. I did over the holidays. I'm not going to beat myself up I'm going to get back on track and become the me that I love. I'm guessing I have the winter time blues and stress. This was my first Christmas without my dad. I lost him in August and he was a big cheerleader for me. Wow in all over the place here. I just need some ideas and thoughts. Help me get back on track ! I

  18. Can I take NyQuil ? Any I'm having some back pain as well what can I take or do?
  19. First i had rny on July 23. I have been having pains on my left side. Pretty hard cramps. Dr did a ct scan and said I have a umbilical hernia and a bilateral ovarian cyst. Has anyone had these after surgery. I have a appointment soon with rny dr for the hernia and my ob dr for the other. Just wondering about both.
  20. My dr said I can't have a steroid shot. It would cause ulcers. ???? she said unless it goes into the joint directly.
  21. I have the same problem. It's very painful. I just got new shoes, I'm praying this helps. I have been putting ice on it but still in a lot of pain.
  22. What are the symptoms on a gallbladder? I have pains on my left side. Not a constant but I getting them daily
