Update! I had the surgery on the 17th. I will be two weeks out tomorrow. Pain has been an issue. I thought I was strong, but turns out I am a wuss. LOL My other issue, I am just not hungry. :-( food does not agree with me. I can tolerate, yogurt, baby bel cheese, cheese sticks, fat free sugar free pudding, fruit and some veggies. I have no appetite to eat. I get my staples out on Thursday.

I'm also worried about pain control. I know with the RNY I will have to remind them of it.

I am having Total Knee Replacement surgery this Wednesday, I am freaking out a bit that it will slow or stall my weightloss. Any advice? I will e in the hospital probably 3 days.

Great information!

Sounds really good!

So, the girls at work at after me to get better fitting clothes. I am very fashion challenged. I do not know where to start. I am so use to hiding in big baggy clothes, I am afraid to let go. I am not comfortable yet with the new losing weight me. Where do I start? Girls here said try Old Navy for jeans. I have been going to a resale shop, but I am not sure on what styles are current and what are not. Please help!

I periodically have cravings for soda. It does pass, but not without a fight.

I am down 50 pounds. I want to buy new shoes, but I have been told my feet will shrink. Is this true or do I need to wait longer to buy new shoes?

I agree with the comments above. Part of this is withdrawal. You will get past it and it will get better.

Can I join this club? Not that I want to. LOL

Update - I finally made onederland today! I am losing, but very slowly. I have decided to quit complaning since the scale is moving downward.

That would work!

I really am not a coffee drinker. However, I really miss a cappuccino from QuikTrip. Anyone have an RNY friendly recipe or one I can buy pre-made?

I am only 6 weeks out and have a finicky pouch. I am not sure what I will make yet. But I also have a husband and three kids to think about what they will eat. One thing I made at Christmas that was a huge hit was taco cups and crabragoon cups (I used shrimp instead of crab meat). Oh my gosh, my family goobled them up! You use wonton wrappers as the crust and bake them. I also saw where you can use wonton wrapper to make little pizza calzone triangles. I plan on making these.

I am going to try fixing them another way. Hmm, maybe it just doesn't agree with me in the morning. LOL

I am not sure why my pouch is not liking egg anymore.

Deli meat/ham is in my food phase. But I am having difficulty with it. I tried a piece this morning and it got stuck. I thought I was going to vomit until it worked its way down.

I need to find something new for Breakfast. Egg has been my go to food for breakfast. But now it does not agree with my pouch. Will I ever love it again? Other breakfast ideas? I take Protein shakes, yogurt, baby bell cheese, sugar-free Jello with me for work. I need something for breakfast. I also usually bring a pureed Soup.

Adding to my recipe file!

I had RNY with hiatal hernia repair. Was in the hospital two nights. Was out of work 3 weeks. I work in Customer Service, but was still on lifing restrictions.

I am extremely irritable. I will be 6 weeks post-op on Thursday. It makes it really difficult to keep my cool with the job I am in. Dang, I have to bite my tongue sometimes and find my happy place in my mind. LOL

This made me giggle. LOL I have the same issue with MFP.

I am confused. Was this pre-op or post-op?

My most important thing was my phone and phone charger. I also took my hairbrush. I wore the clothes I wore to the hospital, home. I did take toothbrush and tooth paste. No makeup. I was in two nights.
