    Today I hit a milestone. As some of you know, my mom is on a kidney transplant list, has been for over 2 years. She is an extremely tough match and no one in the family matches, but I am, by far, th

It's been five weeks since I had my RNY. Still having lair if discomfort while eating. The only thing that has gotten better is my ability to drink liquids quicker. Even yogurt is tricky, some days it goes down smooth and great, then the very next day it feels uncomfortable in my baby tummy. Anybody else have this inconsistency issue?

I'm a little over 5 weeks out. Had my one month appt. and everything is good. 30lbs down! I haven't had "dumping" yet but I have had food getting stuck. OMG it's the most uncomfortable and very painful feeling. The worst one happened two days ago with some chicken. I thought I was going to die....it wouldn't go up or down and it felt like someone was stabbing me in the chest and back. I just have to remember to take my time and chew. I've been reading everyone's post and it seems like most everyone is doing good! Yeah :) I can't wait for fruits and raw veggies!

If you like milk try almond milk unsweetened its great for shakes and cereals... Watch out for cheese too' date=' white cheeses seem to be better.

May I ask you how you got that weight tracker that shows your goal pounds lost and where your at now with it??

@Gerrykayred...I have the exact same issue...I can hardly get any foods down or if I get it down one day I can't get it down the next...frustrating...but liquids are fine.

Not sure about other tickers, but the ones on this site are under that little downward pointing arrow by your name. Look under the drop-down menu.

A - flipping - mazing!!!

Today I was in a patient's room talking to them and I looked down and suddenly realized that I was sitting with my legs crossed and

a) I hadn't grabbed the pants leg of one leg to help it over the other

B) It didn't hurt

c) It was staying there all by itself.

Yaaaaay!

Slow learner, I guess:

I have finally figured out that the minute a bite of food feels the least bit uncomfortable, I have to stop eating until the pain stops. And if it doesn't, my meal is over.

Having figured this out, I learned that the first bite of just about anything that isn't still pureed hurts a little. If I wait 5-10 minutes, I usually can finish my meal at a more normal pace and everything feels fine and stays down. I wonder why *starting* to eat is so uncomfortable, but whatever. I can live with this. At work it's been amazing. I was so afraid of criticism, but 99% of people have been supportive, complimentary, etc.

DAMN it feels good to lose weight!!
