I think we've talked before but if not, I'm that girl...the one that woke up with no band and no RNY....and it sucked and I was pretty sure my life was over . However, here I am 8 months later, 2 months post RNY... You will likely be fine and dandy but if not, you'll still survive....I've been fat my entire life. I had to come to the realization that 6 more months wouldn't kill me....and it didn't. Life goes on, you'll get there, one way or another, sometimes the journey is just longer than we hoped for! Best of luck, the odds are in your favor!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 223

I didn't die!!! Yay!!!!

If your surgeon has you on liquids then stay on liquids...in the long run its just not worth the risk!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 223

About to attempt cream of wheat for the first time since D-day (dumping day...). Never thought a bowl of cream of wheat would scare me!!! I had 1/2 a syntrax shake mixed in low fat milk right before I ate in an attempt to even things out :/. We shall see!!!!

So I've been seeing a lot of your posts the lasts couple weeks and have to wonder, after all the crap you've been through...are you in therapy? For starters you had an abusive relationship that no doubt has a lot of baggage that requires working through. Now you're apparently chronically I'll and again that has a lot to work through as well.... I know this doesn't answer your question or solve your problems but just wanted to make sure you are getting the help you need....

1200 doesn't really seem high enough....2100-2500 is about average for a normal/non-RNY Patient to have a healthy weight gain during pregnancy. I would imagine you're AT LEAST 1500-1800 and will still lose weight, but if the pros say 2100.....I don't think I'd focus so much on quantity as quality though.....make sure you're getting your protein and dairy and fresh fruits and veggies....yup, sounds like you're going to be eating all day long!!!!

scales are evil, evil devices!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 223

Glad I'm not the only weirdo where queasy =hungry!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 223

I've ordered it from vitacost and off amazon....kinda like the strawberry mousse as well. HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 223

Mine said he prefers 6 months, but at least 3..,,my 40th birthday was 6 weeks post op and yo baby, I did have a drink....a very very slow drink, that still buzzed me big time. Okay, now yell at me if you must. But in all honesty I'd do it again given the circumstances.

I go from hungry to queasy in a matter of seconds....it IS getting a little better and I don't get hungry very often so it's livable but I have to keep crackers or nuts around for emergency feelings . I was probably 6 weeks out before I started feeling hunger, prior to that I just got queasy as heck if I waited too long before eating. Learning curve....darn this learning curve!

I have maybe twice gone over 1000 a little but it was more what I ate, not how much. I'm supposed to be at 3 ounces, I can comfortably do 3-4 but that's it! Are you hungry or do you just want to eat?

I can eat real food and I'm rarely hungry!!!! It's heaven! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 223

And you have a skinny neck at that hot momma!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 223

I got bored, hence the iPad......I don't really watch TV, you can only walk so much, sipping Water doesn't take much thought....so my 2 BFFs amused me via text and Facebook while I was trapped in the hospital.

FYI I was taking extra strength Tylenol tablets 4 or 5 days out, no cuttin or crushing. HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 223

Apparently I actually DO have a neck...I just haven't seen it hidden under all that blubber for the last 40 years! Who knew?!?!

I am definitely softer and more jiggly....yay and boo all at the same time! I have yet to try rice....rice was evil with my lap band and I'm just a tad scared of it, I'm cleared to eat it, just chicken

I was told to expect, on average, 2-4 pounds a week.....some lose more, some lose less but your loss is great! Nothing is magic and it does take a while

I THINK....the 3 1/2 week stall have finally broke (dear lord please). I got on the scales yesterday and had lost a pound, checked again today to make sure that pound had 'stuck' and lost a other.....hallelujah!!!!!!

I used my iPad or here and Facebook..... HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 224
