Where are you at in Indiana?!

Indiana

I have noticed that I can eat more soup or salad than other things. Any beef sits like a ton of bricks so usually just a couple bites of that.

Today I realized that I am 4 pounds away from 100 lost from my heaviest weight. I'm 80 down from the day of surgery. Starting to really appreciate the struggle!

So I haven't had a lot of issues with clothes being so big they fall off. That is until the last few days. I walked from the car to the house, with my hands full of course, and lost my pants right as I got in the front door. Then this evening I put on my favorite comfy pj pants and walked from my bedroom to the kitchen and lost them on the way.

@@freelyme,I was 377 on the day of surgery so you weren't the biggest. I just hit 299 a few days ago and cried like a baby. It feels great. I have lost almost 80 pounds though since surgery on 10/15/14. Good luck!!

My surgeon and nut said we could have decaf after surgery. So coffee was my "new addiction". It is also what caused my ulcer, so if you do decide to drink it be careful.

Last time I was in a scale I had lost 72 pounds. Tomorrow is my 3 months post op. I go for my second upper endoscopy to see how my ulcer is doing. Getting excited that's clothes are finally way to big.

I finally got on a scale while I was at my parents house for lunch today. I have lost 62 pounds. I was shocked!! Everyone has had the flu at my house so I have been trying to keep everything disinfected and clean so I don't get it. I can't imagine having the flu now, I can barely get my fluid in as it is. I love reading everyone's posts, it really lifts my spirits when they need lifting. Everyone keep up the great work and have a wonderful New Year!! ????

Surgeon wants me to have an endoscopy Friday to rule out ulcers. She's also calling some meds in for my nausea. Still not feeling the best, but I finally got some egg drop soup down.

On a lighter note, I took my 2 month picture today. This is a month ago and today. I finally see a little change!

I have put in a call to my surgeons office several hours ago, but of course no one has called me back. I had RNY on October 15th. I am able to hold down a little water, but so far that is all. I still can't eat anything g and now it feels like my acid reflux is acting up, which hasn't happened since surgery. I am miserable, guess a trip to the ER is coming soon.

I need some advice.....I have been nauseous all day with diarrhea, my stomach feels like it is on fire. I can't eat and am terribly thirsty. Any advice?

I got a glimpse of myself in a store window today and said "well I guess I have lost some weight". My husband keeps telling me I have, but I didn't believe him until I saw for myself. 50 pounds in 7 weeks, I'm ready to lose the next 50 just as fast!

I have had 5 periods in the 6 weeks since my surgery. 4 of those were really heavy. My doctor wants me to go see my ob/gyn and see about an ablation since my tubes are already tied. Fingers crossed they will do it soon. I can't go on like this for much longer!

I realized at 5 this evening that I had not eaten anything all day. I waited until supper and ate with the family, then got my first case of the "foamies". Now I'm in bed because I am so weak I can hardly hold my head up. On a lighter note though, we got the Christmas tree up and I love it. My husband gave in and let me put it up early this year. ????

I'm still on puréed food, so I'll be having some pureed turkey and maybe some mashed potatoes if I have room.

What a horrible day it's been. As if the stupid weather wasn't enough to make me depressed, my kids have been horrible and my husband and I just got in a huge fight. We hardly ever fight, and when we do it's over almost as quickly as it starts. I've noticed lately that he has been pretty snappy with me, not sure what's up but it can stop anytime!

Today marks exactly one month since my surgery. I'm down 37 pounds, and I feel pretty good. I have my one month check up on Monday, hopefully everything goes well.

I guess I have finally hit the dreaded stall. I have been the same weight for the last 3 days. I have lost 32 pounds so far and had my surgery just a little over 4 weeks ago. I am on my period (tmi, sorry) so that may have a little to do with it. I hope the stall doesn't last long, it's very frustrating.

I have been in purée for almost 4 weeks now and I must say that my favorite is pureed chicken breast with mayo to make it kind of like chicken salad. I did tuna the same way, but didn't have to put it through the food processor. I added eggs and a little mustard to both and they were really good.

I was the same way my first day alone after surgery. I cried most of the day and walked around my back yard. I have been pretty emotional since the surgery, my aunt that had RNY several years ago said this is just part of the package. It gets better with time.

I'll call on Monday then. Thank you so much!

I was only on liquids while I was in the hospital. I am on pureed foods for the first 8 weeks.

I had my surgery on the 15th
