    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

You could join our team. I will have to investigate. I will let you know! It sounds like so much fun. I wil go look now. We are the 8:30 team.

I am looking from my phone and it won't let me add. Can you look at the website and see if it will let you go into the 8:30 slot? You are more then welcome to join our fun, witty, group of girls.

I had surgery on Feb 1, starting weight 241 and am now at 211. I am happy with my 30lbs gone forever! This weekend I had someone say to me "you should have lost at least double that by now". I brushed it off at the time, but then felt so discouraged. I felt like awful! I know that I am getting in at least 60g of protein a day, and walking at least 10,000 steps a day with strength training as well. I woke up this morning and realized after reading the forums here that everyone loses at a different pace. I don't have lots of extra skin (right now) and have lost many inches so I think I am going to just feel good about the 30 lbs and not worry about what others think.

Thanks for letting me vent!

Amen sister! That's what I've decided too. Great job.

Definitely do not worry about what others think or about "competing" with others. All our bodies are different. My doc says slower is better... it gives your skin a chance to keep up with your changing shape, LOL! Congratulations on your exercise as well. I have an easy time running in the summer, but it's going to be a challenge for me to keep exercising in the fall/winter.

Pictures pre RNY to current two month out and 32lbs gone!

Ok February's....who's on MFP? I thought it might help for is to see what everyone else is eating at the same stage out that we are. My username is Kellyk2511

My username name is pearliture on MFP. Anyone else feel free to friend me. I had my surgery on February 20, 2013. Currently, trying to work through mushy stage of eating. Have had a lot of frustrating moments with the different food stages. My surgeon says my pouch is super picky but if in 2 weeks I am still struggling he is going to do tests to see if I possibly have a stricture. He is hesitating with doing unnecessary tests because I just feel sick and pressure with anything other than liquid and I don't throw up. So we'll see. I currently only consume 1 oz at each meal.

You found me on MFP before I found you! :D. Welcome! And pay no attention to what I eat on Sundays.....I've discovered I notoriously don't come anywhere close to meeting my goals on Sundays. Always running.

I usually don't look at others diary cause a lot of people judge. So unless you ask for help or if i am looking for food ideas that may work for me. Your diary is safe lol. Btw my name is Pearl

Anyone else feel nauseous every time they eat or drink? I had a scope done a few weeks ago because of it (thought it was a stricture) and found out its an ulcer. I'm on protonix and carafate 4x a day, and I feel like for every 1 or 2 days of feeling good, I feel crappy for 3. Even water makes me nauseous.

Today I wore the same outfit to church as I did last Easter. The minute my Mom saw me she said, I can't believe how much different you look. (In a really good way...lol) I don't see it as much, but I could feel how much different the skirt fit. Some of my favorite clothes that just didn't fit well, are fitting better. That makes me feel really hopeful.

Just thought I would share because I know many of you understand.

To phen off any GERD and ulcers.

I Hope you start to feel better...
