I can't believe we're finally on the losers bench! Congrats to everyone on this side of the journey. Keep us updated with your progress.

Our April first peeps are Deana Wright, MissMeagan and Nella. Ladies, tell us everything!

It feels very different now. I've been very lucky with pain' date=' but even this wouldn't have hurt a week or two out for me. It isn't that heaving feeling that you used to associate with throwing up. It's very small and starts from up higher. Really just felt like burping!

Thanks for the info. It is very good to know. Next time i'll just let it come. At least then I would feel better!

I have the same problem...but i remembered watching a youtube video of someone talking about all the things you must have after RNY surgery. Tongs (steak turners) was one of the items. That's what i've been using when i go to the bathroom. If i come across her video again i will post it.

Ouch steak tongs! I think this is smoother lol

Has anyone heard from wendilou

Hey guys! yes, I'm still here, just lurking... haven't had much to report. No pain, no dumping, no vomiting. I've been on puréed foods for almost a week now. It is nice to have a little more variety, but I have to say I don't enjoy eating like I used to. I never really feel that full, satisfied feeling. I just stop when I've had a half cup cause I know I'm supposed to. I guess I'm probably still mourning the loss of food. I'm also back to work for the second week now and no probs there except it can make it difficult to get my liquids in. I'm down to 215 lbs from my surgery day weight of 229. I can almost get into a size 20 pants, but I don't really feel like I look much better yet.

I'm in mourning myself today. The family was all eating and I came upstairs. The smells make me want everything, even tho I'm not hungry. glad you are doing so well!

Hi Wendilou....Same here. I have been feeling very sad that last couple of days and figure it's because of the lack of food. I'll be glad when i can get more variety in my diet. Feeling kinda weak also...trying to get my fluids in. Congrats on your weight loss so far. You go girl!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dltmf4PaFPw here's the video. She starts talking about it at 9:20.

My dr said by day 4 if no BM to take milk of magnesia and it worked ...i still cant go unless i take it so every 3-4 days i do

I didn't go for over a week. Finally happened. Now no matter what I do, I have to use a softener.

What yogurt is everyone eating?

I eat the dannon light n fit too but pineapple and I add vanilla muscle milk to it for added protein. Turns out being around 20-25grams or so. ... Sometimes Chobani greek yogurt too but there's more sugar in it. I've gotta mix it up a little lol.

I feel the same. I just sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk. I sip very small amounts. I am getting the gases out of my stomach and feeling better all along. I always feel full and have no desire for food which is fine by me. I'm sure this will get better as time goes on. Keep in touch and good luck!!

Today turned out to be my best day since surgery yet! I was so scared cuz my hubby went back to work today and i didn't know how id get through the day with myself and a 2 yr old ....i have been in so much pain had complications with an infection and now have an opened incision and also couldn't use the restroom by myself .....first yesterday i got a toilet aid and that worked wonders then my mom showed up before i even woke up to help me all day she stood by but i did everything got my daughter out of her crib changed her diapers fed her and everything i know it may not seen like much but I've felt so bad for 2 and a half weeks i was petrified i would be stuck in my bed and she'd be crying in her crib and i wouldn't be able to get her:( the one thong i did was i stuck to taking pain meds all day but half the dose ....this past few days ive been trying to go all day with no pain meds because i was wanted to see if i could get through the day without them for when i was home alone with makayla but instead i ended up in so much pain i was stuck in bed....so.since my mom was here in case i took 1 percocet instead of 2 every 4 hours and it made it so much easier and i was not out of it like i was afraid id be ......we even went outside today and she played on her swingset and her outside toys for almost 2 hours and i got a little sunburn lol i havent been outside that.much in weeks and it was beautiful out! Ol sorry again for the ramble but i had to share i had such a good day ...now tomorrow im really on my own my mom cant come unless she has to(she lives in nj i live in ny) and hubby is working so hoping tomorrow is as good as today
