My surgery Ctr support group told me to count my blessings the weight is coming off slow and steady. Because with exercise and slow and steady weight loss, skin issues will be minimal. Yahoo!!

My RNY was on July 17th, had the three month checkup with dr and NUT yesterday and I'm flying high on Cloud 9. 46 lbs lost since surgery, 60 lbs overall. I haven't had dumping syndrome but follow NUT guidelines and haven't "cheated" and tried any sugary foods. I go to our local support group and get frustrated to see sleeves who are smoking again and bypassers who cheat all the time. I do not mind sticking to the rules and I do not mind taking lots of Vitamins every day. I plan on this being a complete and total lifestyle change, not a temporary way to lose lots of weight. I'm 50, wish I had done this at 40, but this is my new life and I'm loving it!!!!

That's great, Amy. I'm 3 mons out from surgery and I've been to several restaurants, but really don't get much enjoyment out of eating out any more....

I am also 3 months out, no regrets whatsoever. So much energy, weight loss, looking better, feeling great and gaining confidence. But I follow all the NUT directions, no sampling things I shouldn't ever eat again just to see how my pouch reacts and very strict with taking my Vitamins every day too. At our surgery Ctr support group last night I was actually dismayed to hear how so many people are cheating on their food. My reasons for surgery are permanent life style change, not a quick way to lose weight. One lady in support group is 4 mons out and she's smoking again and had the sleeve. A big NoNo and could potentially be fatal, she's crazy.

Same issue with me and my surgery was in July, down 43 lbs but the inches are really coming off, down almost 3 clothing sizes. Weight is just a number, it can become obsessive, but the inches and looking and feeling better and more confident, now that's just fine by me!!

I experienced the exact same pain that TSANGIA described. Lower right abdominal pulling, searing burning pain. I frequently put both hands over the spot when I walked up and down stairs. Felt like I needed an abdominal binder. NP mentioned adhesions and also inner incisions that hadn't dissolved yet. I'm just 7 weeks out and miraculously this pain disappeared around 5 weeks.

My NUT gave me recipe for 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 2 tbsps of Ragu spaghetti sauce and sprinkle with shredded cheese. It's called Noodle-less lasagna and is super yummy. Makes 4 oz. about 10g of Protein. I have puréed 2 small meatballs and added them and they were just fine. Also flavorless Protein Powder, sprinkled in everything adds good protein, even on egg salad. And my standby is Yoplait 100 Greek yogurt with 1/2 scoop of protein powder = 25g of protein.

I'm exactly 3 wks out from RNY and 22 lbs down in this 3 wks. My weight loss started from my face, neck, and my double chin is gone. ????

My laparoscopic RNY was on 7/17.
