Hi all, Its been a long time since I wrote in here. Im 8 months out and have lost about 70-75 pounds. I feel stuck and my will power has gone out the window. this happened when I went back to work full time. I am back to using food to make me feel better. I am also drinking diet coke. So I need some help to get back on track. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks Zallykat16

Thanks Biddy ZZ, I do know what I have to do. I just have to do it.

10/15/17 Good Afternoon All, I've been having trouble not regressing to eat bad things since the Sonoma Wildfires started. I can't eat a lot at a time but I can snack. I'm trying to stay strong but when I get stressed its very hard to do. These fires are scary. We are still in our house but I worry about evacuating myself, my husband and our 3 cats a lot. It makes me want to eat. Any suggestions on willpower?

Thanks @ctdan I did eat due to stress about the fires. They were also quite near like a couple of blocks.

Thanks

@JohnnyCakes this all has to do with staying focused when disaster strikes.

Hello All, Its been a while since I posted because I have been recovering from my RNY on 9/11. I am still having a lot of pain three weeks out. I read that some people don't get pain at all. Anybody still have pain and if so how are you handling it? Thanks, Zallykatz16

I hope your surgery went well @SGirl35. MY NSV is being able to cut my toe nails with out pain. P. S. what does NSV actually stand for?

I had my RNY 9/11 and I still have lots of pain. I have been lucky with liquids because I have been able to drink them down pretty easily. I get tired very easily but today I went out for 2 outings and I'm tired but happy.

I'm sure evrything went well. Welcome to the losers bench.

Hello All, I'm 5 days post op and I still really hurt. I am having problems getting in my protein and water for the day. Any suggestions? HW 253 SW 233 CW ? I'm afraid to get on the scale today.

Hi everybody, I did it! I had my RNY on Monday and I am in major pain. I'm am just so tired but I have been walking in my house but I might go out for a ride and a walk today.

@Katariina So glad that things went well. I'm just trying to keep calm but I'm having trouble because my surgery is Monday.

Glad to her that @HeidiGross! Hope you cough goes away soon.

Hi @AmylouRouxEnY, Welcome to September 11! I'm sure it will be fine. Just keep Swimming.....(Nemo)

Welcome @LadyMoka, You are in the right place. I have my RNY Monday so I will be done before you are. I wish you the best of luck. Cheers, Zallykatz16

Glad to hear that you are doing so well @dathvick! I hope mine goes as well on Monday. Keep up the good work.

How are all of you that had surgery before and including today? I hope you are all well.

Nevermind @cookienmax I figured it out.

Good Afternoon All, I'm just plain nervous. I'm trying to keep busy but it isn't working. Although this groups is a life saver. I am trying to get all my house in order but my husband keeps making a mess. So I've decided just to keep my areas clean so I will do well after surgery. I am worried about infections because I have gotten them before, but I feel that this time I will be okay. Thinking about the changes in my life ahead is daunting at times. On the other hand, it seems exciting to be starting over so to speak. Thanks for reading.

Thanks everyone. @cookienmax Where did you send an email?

Hello @CJ Sunshine I have my surgery on Monday. I am very nervous but also very excited too. You will do great. Can't wait to hear from you on the losers bench.

Congratulations @dathvick on being on the losers bench. I have my RNY surgery in 4 days. Keep up the good work.

Wishing all those having surgery in the first week of September, I wish you luck. Those of you that have had surgery, love to here about your experiences. Everyone else , like me, who is waiting and on the lovely pre-op diet stay strong.

Katariina, I hope your family stays safe in Florida. My surgery is on Monday and I both can't wait and am very nervous. Good luck to all those having surgery this week. Looking forward to hearing from you all soon.
