I like the Oikos triple zero also. it is very smooth. I also pot some of the plain in my Protein Drinks to boost the Protein content.

Oikos triple zero

At my work, paid short-term disability is approved and managed by a separate company, so the paperwork the doctor signs goes directly to them, not to my employer. For unpaid leave, the signed paperwork from the doctor goes to someone in Benefits, not to HR or my supervisor.
Every company is different.

I work and so I can't have clothes falling off of me. I get 2 pairs of jeans, 2 t-shirts and 3 nice shirts along with a nice light cover-up jacket. I have now done this 3 times. I don't buy expensive stuff but I do go into the stores, I don't buy online as I have no idea what will fit. lol!
Oh, and I upgrade my undies and bra's MUCH more frequently. Sagging panties are the WORST.
Then once those start visibly being too loose, I go and do it again. I did it for my drop to 22 then my drop to 18/16 and now my drop to 10/12. It makes me feel great too.
I did buy a dress for a funeral. But it's all inexpensive stuff. I don't want to over do it so I limit what I buy but it feels great to wear a new size and feel like you are rocking it hard. lol

I didn't get an ulcer long term but at 2 months post rny I developed an ulcer for no known reason. I was on ppi. They tried max carafate for 6 weeks to resolve without success. I ended up having to have a bypass revision basically having rny all over again at 4 months out to remove the ulcer and make a new pouch.

tough times but I am doing very well now. I am 2 months post op of my second rny now. I am 100 pounds down.

Wow. How far I've come! I am down 90 pounds and a size small!!! I remember looking at this post and your progress and hoping to see the same and I do.

As much as possible. I hag rny the fatigue didn't pass.for me until day one of week 3 (pureed foods for me). The day I started pureed foods my energy skyrocketed. Hang in there.

After the day of movement for me , I was feeling fabulous and regular

I did the same. I kept my joggers that I wore to the hospital on surgery day.

It's the best feeling ever !!

So being 100% devoted to your weight loss journey makes a person self-righteous?

Not sure where anyone said they were awesome. I answered a question with the truth. Does that really make me self righteous or does it make me a person who took the surgery serious and for ME that meant I stuck to the plan especially in the early months. I certainly wasn't judging. 😜

I've been doing pretty well so far (I'm 22 days out) even with cooking for my family; but last night I was mixing up some tea for my youngest and I tasted it (sipped) to see if I'd put in enough mix forgetting that it wasn't sugar free. All in all, I had less than a teaspoon; but I'm glad I caught myself. I also feel good that I wasn't tempted to continue drinking it once I realized it wasn't sugar free.

I had the same. That is the area that has the most trauma during surgery. It takes a little while longer to heal than other sites. Hang in there.

On my plan 3 weeks post op would still be puréed. Absolutely no rice or bread. Does your plan have those allowed or are you just having them?

Hi, I just wanted to share my story with you, all my life I have struggled with my weight. 11 months ago I had my gastric bypass done & it's the best decision I have ever made I have lost 144Ib so far & feel so healthy & happy
SW - 364Ib
CW - 220Ib
Here's a picture of my progress so far

Truvia or Splenda brown sugar.

I prefer 8-10 oz 1% milk and 1 30 gram scoop of GENEPRO flavorless Protein powder.

Mashed potatoes and gravy, cottage cheese, refried Beans with cheese, scrambled eggs, tuna salad, chicken salad.

@Jill_Me I never thought of that. It did strike me as odd that anyone would come home from major surgery and peel a orange and eat it.

This is too weird. Nobody even remotely should think of eating broccoli and cheese soup at 3 days postop. Seems fake, like this person is just trying to get attention. I've seen this kind of thing on a Facebook group I used to follow and the moderators would need to come in and stop comments (bc everyone would comment, either trying to help or bewilderment).
