If you don't mind me asking how much do you eat a day and what do you eat?? My morning consists of cream of wheat 1/4-1/3, 4-6xs a day, lunch is usually a premier Protein shake, then later I'll have either baby gerber of refríed Beans o would say my calorie intake is about 500-600 a day, I know it's gonna take while DR did mention I have an 18month window too loose much weight as possible, but I was thinking I may have hit a stall or plateau.

Hi, I am right there with you, I had my surgery the same day as you, and I'll tell I really felt prepared but you can never prepare on what the outcome might be!! I been having a bit of regretfulness. But like my uncle said there no turning back what done is done, and I have to make the best of it. I had the RNY knowing it's complications prior and after there's nothing like living it and being real. Let's hang in there we got this, let's be positive and make some great remarkable memories!!!!

Hi mama Lisa, Yea well I'm a revision from band to bypass so I would figure mine is a higher risk. Surgery weight was at 332lbs. I pray and hope I don't have issues along the way. And this nausea is killing me. I get headaches ever now and then but dizziness and nausea is killing me bad!!!
