Thank you so much! I needed that!

Congratulations everyone on all your success! I had surgery Dec. 10th and am only down 32 pounds. Very frustrated and saddened by this.

Thank you!

I had, and am still having the same issue. I lost 12 pounds my 1 st week, and now at 6 weeks out I am still only down 20 pounds total. Lots of stalling in the early weeks. Very frustrating! ????

yes, I am aware of all of the terrible things Diet Coke can do to our bodies. I don't plan on drinking it again, I was just asking if carbonated Water may be a substitute, but it doesn't look like it, so I will keep searching for an alternative I enjoy. Thank you.

Congrats, that is wonderful news!

I am wondering, why it it not allowed? I was a HUGE Diet Coke addict prior to surgery, and I miss it terribly now. I have not touched it, but think that sugar free flavored carbonated water may help with the cravings. My stomach does tolerate it, anyone know why we shouldn't have it?

Congratulations Mommabird, that is awesome!

@berkelycurves I completely understand how you are feeling. I haven't weighted for a week ( trying to stay off the scale because it is so discouraging) but as of last Wednesday, I was only down 18 pounds and I had surgery December 10th. Hopefully we can encourage one another through this, and laugh about it when we look back after we have reached our goal. Keep your head up!

Yes we can! ❤️

I know exactly what you mean Anne! My loss is going at a snail's pace also. 18 pounds down since RNY on 12/10/14. I actually ran into someone I had told today and he asked if I ever had it done. Makes me feel terrible!

I am almost 6 weeks out and have only lost 17 pounds, so 30 pounds in 5 weeks sounds great to me!

Ok, more TMI. I am 5 weeks out and not necessarily having a problem having to go, it's just a nigh,are getting it out. Take 2 Colace every day and it certainly isn't softening anything g up. Any suggestions?

Thank you for the insight AJP, I will discontinue eating and drinking together immediately. It has never caused dumping for me, but the other things could be possible.

Hello! I just turned 41 a coup,e of days ago and had my RNY done in December 10th. I am blessed to not have had any complications or much pain at all. I can eat and drink normally, except smaller portions, and I have not found anything that I don't tolerate yet, I can even eat and drink together. The hard part is how slowly I am losing. Only down 17 pounds 5 weeks out. I'm wondering if I have ruined my pouch already, is it already stretched? I don't know.
