Hi my name is Heather and I had RNY on 11/18/13. I am looking to connect with other African American women who had RNY. Any takers?

Ok everyone. Here's the next challenge. Labor Day!

Bear with me as I adjust to taking over the challenges from Bea.

Not sure if this link will work but lets try. I am also not terribly great with Xcel..but I know the basics.
First weigh in will be Monday July 7th. That will give us all a total of 9 weigh ins from start to finish, which will be Monday Sept 1st. It will be a long challenge, and will carry us threw the rest of summer and into start of fall.

I will post another with the pointers, rules etc for the other challenges. Same apply to this as all of the others.

Just make sure to adjust your goals to accommodate for the 2 months we will be in this one.

Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated. I will like the posts as I enter them in, so that will not change.

I love my fitbit!!!! Especially because it can be sync to myfitness pal. Great mgmt tool.

The 16th is my daughters 20 th bday!!!

I'm schedule for July 16!

With the surgeon??
I am thinking things like:
How long will the surgery take? What happens if they have to do a full incision instead of laprascopic?
How long will you need to be in the hospital?
How long before you can return to work, moderately normal activities?
What benchmarks/timeframe are we looking for to start adding foods back into the diet?
Do you have to go the colon cleansing stuff before surgery?
What if he finds a hernia (or other repairable issue)? Will he repair and continue the bypass?
... i think I'm out of questions... who's next? lol

Please feel free to add your recommendations!
