I take Zoloft and haven't had to change a thing. I also was taking XR adderall and changed to "regular/non XR " It wasn't lasting all day as it had pre RNY.

That's FANTASTIC!!!! When I was at my heaviest, I couldn't go 30 seconds!

Tummy sleeper here! No problem whatsoever. If you find you do, try tucking a pillow under one side?

Hi breuxo I travel alot for business and can give you some tips. 1) Read the menu online before you go so you know what your options are. 2) Chew, chew and then chew some more. 3) Suggestions: soft fish, mashed potatoes, soft vegetables that you can mash. Shrimp cocktail is my standby. I just take small bites, chew the heck out of it and limit the amount of sauce I use. Yes, soup could be a good choice, but then again, it may not. I'm from the northeast where chowders and chili are a staple. If the soup of the day is a "cream of", you're out of luck. Call ahead of time. Have FUN!

Horrible stench! And it lingers. I think it has to do with microwave wattage/power. At home I hit 3.33 minutes for "fat free" Orville R. popcorn-full size bags. Perfection! When I do the same thing in a hotel microwave, it burns. Stinks and sets off the smoke detector.

I haven't read the other comments so this may have already been said. This is pretty much the same as people saying, "Oh, you're not fat!", or "you don't need to lose weight", "you don't need to lose THAT MUCH weight", etc. I find this comes from them being uncomfortable agreeing that, yes, you sure are fat! I never shared my intention to have RNY with anyone. But when I was heavy, and complained about it, I'd get this type response. I stopped complaining about it.

I was taking an antacid (doctor prescribed) for a while after surgery. I do find I'm burping more It's especially bad after drinking. I'm guessing I drink too fast?

I'm proud of you too![emoji106][emoji5]

Don't weigh yourself so often. It'll make you nuts.

Make it short and sweet, "My diet is high in Protein, small portions and lots of water".

Hi Crissyboo This isn't about your fiance, or anyone else. It's about YOU. Do it for yourself, for your physical and emotional health. I'm sorry you don't have support from those around you. But we're here to support you! Do what's best for you-I'm routing for you! Do you think your fiance is afraid of you losing weight, getting thin and running off with someone else? It may sound silly but it happens. People that call RNY "the easy way" don't understand. For me it was the only way.

I think she may mean abroad?

Are you taking chewable Vitamins? I'm with you on the Protein drinks. My problem was I found them disgusting. But, I finally found one I love. If you find they're too sweet, get unflavored Protein powder and make your own smoothie. At four weeks out you're going to have good and bad days. I remember my dietician asking if I was getting all my daily protein. I said, nope. She asked was I getting all my Water daily. I said, nope. She said to focus more on water-this was at about 4 weeks. Best thing to do is talk to your doctor. I agree with James Marusek (above). You may not like the taste, but just get it down. Little sips-hold your nose if it helps. You'll get through this!!! Hugs to you.

I think it's pretty standard to receive prilosec (or similar antacid) after WLS. I never took an antacid before WLS but they gave it to me while I was at the hospital. Definately check with your surgeon. Good luck!

I'm almost at 9 months and see a definate slowdown. I went from 10+ lbs/month to 7 and now to 4 lbs last month. Thank you to whoever posted the link to the maintenance phase. Good news-hairloss is slowing down too.
