Don't forget girls, the Protein Shakes count as your liquids also. All three of you are doing great on your weight loss. I bet it will be less than a year and you won't believe how much weight you will have lost. And you can exercise just as well at home as in the gym. Just for the really cold or snowy days when you don't want to go out. Get an exercise band, a couple of 5 pound dumbbells, jump rope. Look online for exercises you can do at home, there are really quite a few. The treadmill is very good. Walking at intervals of 5 minutes fast then 5 minutes slow. Brings your metabolism up. Good luck to all of you!

I had my RNY surgery on 11/13/14 and just made two months post op. Start weight was 366 and now I'm at 297 as of 01/14/15. It was rough at the beginning. My cravings are still there but I try to push through it as much as possible. First two weeks I experienced severe Constipation and pain near my incision sites. Trying to get my Water intake is hard and I'm still drinking the Protein shakes to help with my Protein intake
Things are getting better for me with the help from my co-workers, friends, and family. Since I've been clear to workout I haven't signed up to a gym or health club yet. I walk on my treadmill and use my WII game everyday. Just Dance is a great for me while I'm indoors from the cold weather. It keeps me moving while keeping up with the latest dance moves lol.
It feels different to me now that I am seeing the weight fall off and my clothes are getting too big. People are noticing me more and my energy level is fantastic. No joint pain, no aches, and no more low self esteem. This is only the beginning for all of us and we will achieve are goals by staying encourage, motivated, and positive.

Congratulations on your tremendous progress! I too am one of the lucky folks that have not experienced dumping syndrome. I however do not like anything that is sweet which is great for me because I was a sugar fiend before my surgery. I simply stay away from it at all costs.

Hello everyone I got my surgery done on Dec.31,2014. It's only been almost 4 weeks but I feel good. I was in the hospital for only 1 day and only had pain for 2 days. Also everything I drink or eat now always goes down smoothly and pain free. Thank god nothing has made me sick an I can tolerate everything. When I started this journey to lose weight I was 410 pounds which was pretty scary... The day of surgery I was 347 and now I'm 328 also just because I've had good luck so far. Doesn't mean it's not hard and scary but I know it's for the best. I love this site and how supportive most ppl are. I hope my story can help someone out there and remember I'm new and still have lots of questions but I'm willing to share what I know so far. God bless you all!!!!!!
