  1. I felt like maybe I had done something wrong on the second day in the hospital. And the third day I was home. I've not had one regret since. good luck with everything
  2. I also like Premier Protein chocolate .
  3. I am 2 months out here are my stats: Day of surgery weight: 351 Current weight: 296 Goal weight: 159
  4. Now I eat to live not live to eat. I always thought that that was hokey. But now it is my reality!
  5. I had afib a few years ago and since I've been using the CPAP with oxygen I have not had any
  6. Do you use CPAP with oxygen at night? I am an advanced practice registered nurse and I have done some research into afib. One of the news theories is that afib could be related to untreated sleep apnea you might want to talk to your cardiologist about a sleep study.
  7. I don't know where people get the idea that hospitals are clean. Far from it. Just think of all the microbes from all the sick people. Clostridium Difficule (C diff) is a bacteria the effects people with weakened immune systems, post-op patients, cancer patients, older folks and people who don't have normal flora in their bowels because of antibiotics. it is difficult to get rid of and very opportunistic.
  8. WOW! You look super! Great work.
  9. My dad passed away in 1990 from prostate cancer. I am doing the 5K blue shoe run for prostate cancer in Denver in his honor! Good luck and great work too.
  10. I am 2 months out and have never vomited or dumped. Just lucky I think.
  11. Hi Angel on Monday I had my two month anniversary. I am doing really well. I don't have any interest in eating I eat because I know I have to get Protein. It's very different it's now that I eat to live not live to eat. On Saturday I'm walking my first 5K. I walk on average of 6 to 7 miles per day . HW 353 SW 351 CW 295 No regrets or looking back for me! Mamie60
  12. Cpower100, PLEASE do not let these posts change your mind!!!! Have a frank talk with your doc about rates of complications. I am an advance practice RN and I know if you get the facts from your doc you should feel confident! I am 2 months out and would NEVER LOOK BACK. NO MORE DIABETES OR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE! Good luck!
  13. I'm not eating fast food ever ! That's what got me into this position at least partly and I'm not going there again!
  14. I'm 2 months out this week not ready for photos yet but here are my stats. Surgery date 7/8/14 HW 356 SW 351 CW 298
  15. I'm pretty sure one week would give you enough time to recover while she's there.
  16. I had gastric bypass laparoscopic and my husband works at home He was available for me but I really didn't need him much. I could've had someone come over once a day I think. Good luck
  17. Way to go! I also had my two month post-op this week. I have lost 53 pounds. I am doing my first 5K on Saturday . I feel great I bet you do too!
  18. I'm not ready to share photos yet. I had RNY July 8, 2014 so 2 months today. I've lost 53 pounds and 60 inches total from my whole body. Just to let you know. Good luck, Mamie60
  19. Good luck guys. See you both on the losers bench!
  20. Playing on the floor with my 1 year old grandson and seeing him get married!
  21. Thanks. The best of luck to you!
  22. Darby, I walked at my own pace. I don't think I could've jogged it usually took me over 2hrs. I have not had any complications or real problems since surgery. I am doing my first 5K run/walk next week end and I will walk. I'm not at the jogging phase yet.
