    I'm also at week 7 and have plateaued the past week and a 1/2. I've been trying to stay off of the scale as much as I can and just stick to my program. I know it will come off eventually! High weight April 16 - 266, Day of surgery 9/27/16 - 240, Current weight 213. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Yes, that is definitely a sign of healing. Try taking Benadryl. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  13. I HAD GASTRIC BYPASS SEPTEMBER 22 from Grimsley TN

    JulieNOLA replied to Tammy3826's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    My surgery was 9/27/16 RNY - I continue to struggle with Water and Protein too! I bought a big clear mug that holds 32 ounces. I find it's helping me to see the cup and know I need to keep drinking. Before I had bottles of water all over and wasn't really interested or measuring because I felt so miserable. I'm finally tolerating my Protein shakes again! I had the most awful sour/bitter taste for the first 2 wks and everything tasted horrible. But the shakes still taste SO sweet. At least I'm getting the protein in! My other food intake is so very minimal. A few bites and I'm sooo full. I know it'll take time. Enjoying the weight loss. Down about 25 lbs so far. Best of luck to everyone! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  19. Loving my vitamin patches!

    JulieNOLA replied to JulieNOLA's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Yes, it's the BariatricPal Store. I bought the pack of 4 Patches for Gastric Bypass patients. My doctor's office has seen success with them though others on here say not to buy them. I'm giving them a chance. I'll use them until my first set of labs that measure for them & see how it goes. Not having to chew & swallow Vitamins is awesome!

    I had a lap band in 2008 and had many issues with it. I met w/ my surgeon to discuss options. Having gained the weight back I had lost 8 yrs prior, I wanted to be sure I didn't do it again. I chose RNY because of the dumping syndrome. It may sound crazy to some. But I wanted to always have that in my mind to keep me on track and avoiding the fatty or sweet foods. I knew with the sleeve that it would be much easier to fall back into old habits & I want this change to be for life. Also, I knew I'd lose more w/ the RNY. I have MS and 3 herniated discs and getting the weight off is crucial to my mobility and health. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    I've been wearing my Vitamin Patches for 4 days now. They are so easy! No chewing and swallowing vitamins!???????????? I have VERY sensitive skin and have allergies to most adhesives, so I was a little nervous to try them. But I've had no issues so far and you wear them for 12 hrs a day! I do 8a-8p. I have had any come unstuck either! Wanted to share for anyone else considering trying them. It runs about $70/month. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    I met with my surgeon in April and had my RNY on Sept 27, 2016. Yesterday made 3 wks post-op! I'm so thrilled that I had the surgery. I have tough days dealing with nausea and fatigue. I'm so thankful I haven't vomited one though! Here's my progress: May: 264 Day of surgery: 240 Today: 218 Not sure if the pics are attached or not. But I feel great and can't wait to keep going with my journey! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  25. I think i dumped and i think i know why!

    JulieNOLA replied to Ninni's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I haven't had a dumping episode yet - almost 3 weeks out. Sorry you had to go through that! Like you said, we all will be in learning mode for a long time! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  26. Vomiting

    JulieNOLA replied to Tyani's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Sounds like your doctor needs to do an EGD. Sometimes the opening to the new stomach pouch is too small and has to be stretched open with a balloon a bit. Happened to my mom post-op. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
