Oh I am praying that helps and that you will be feeling well soon!!! Thanks for keeping me in the loop!

Hey Everyone,

So today is officially two months post-op for me. I had my RNY bypass surgery on Oct 1st.

Highest weight ever: 261.4

Weight day of surgery: 249.0

Current weight as of today: 220.0

It seems like my progress has been really slow compared to other on rnytalk.com however I am happy with my continuous progress. I so cant wait to get out of the 200s. I have been doing a lot of walking, however my goal for this month is to get even more active in the gym.

Hi Niki,

Its still a challenge for me to meet my protein goal. I try to shot for 60g of protein a day however it seem like I've been getting in about 40-50 a day. The vitamins are a whole different story. Since the surgery i have not been able to tolerate any artificial sweeteners, so i have to force myself to get the chewable vitamins down. To be honest i do forget to take them sometimes because its such a challenge for me. I've even tried crushing them and eating the powder... Hopefully it will get better for me. I might start breaking them in half and see if that helps.

I know what you mean the protein is horrible. I've tried the protein shots, the high protein drinks, protein pre made shakes all of it taste bad. I get very little protein in and im

trying. I don't know what to do.

Have you tried unflavored protein powder? You can mix it in foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, pudding, cooked cereal, etc. I use Unjury unflavored. It has 20 grams per serving. I also like mixing plain Greek yogurt with skim milk, frozen fruit... I mix it in the blender. That's 30 grams. Health wise makes drink mix like crystal light that have 15 grams per serving.

Hey October buddies. Returned to work on Nov 26 and it has been hectic. Plus I broke my phone. I haven't lost any weight this week, but i figure that is because I haven't been getting my protein and water in since I have been back to work. I will have to do better this week. How is everyone else doing so far?

I am doing better so far since the surgeon did a dilatation on Friday. I sure hope it fixed whatever I was experiencing. I am down 43 pounds total 33 since surgery in 10/29/12.

I hope everything gets better for you Kisersassy. Congrats on the weight loss.

Has anyone seen my boobs? I seem to have misplaced them because they are surely not on my chest anymore...

Oh, but no worries: my thighs and butt are still right where I left them.

Down 52 but stalled for a week. Trouble getting down protein but feeling good! SD 10/2

Stalling here too, RhondaWilliams, after only 38 lbs... Maybe the exercise I started is slowing down muscle loss? Hope so.

Surgery 10/3 but stalled 2 weeks after 40 lbs. so I increased my protein I hope that helps.

Hi everyone! Wow has life been a whirlwind. I am starting a new job on Monday, which I am psyched. I joined Golds gym this week, which I am loving how I am feeling.... I have been having difficulty with some foods, however my little cuisine art processor is my best friend. Yesterday I was able to push through just over 2 miles, and burned 510 calories. It felt so good to do that. I am so excited with the changes I am seeing and feeling with my body..... When I lost weight before, I had saved my "skinnier" clothes and am now able to wear a good number of them. The other day I was the girl with the apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur! Lol.... Hope you all are enjoying this journey!
