Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

Just wanted to share--

I had RNY June 3rd. My post op appointment with my regular doc was today. My cholesterol dropped 65 points' date=' and my A1C shows that I'm no longer pre-diabetic![/quote']

Congrats! That's wonderful!

I wrote earlier today because my weight loss seems so slow. I'm down 32 lbs. if you count my 7 lbs. that I lost on the 2 day pre-op liquid diet. Anyway, I decided to try on some clothing which I haven't worn since before surgery. Surprisingly, a lot if it is too big now. That made me want to take a new photo wearing my same pre-op clothes. Here it is. I'm happy with the improvement so far. I need to not worry about the scale so much!

Well folks I broke 300's I am now 299! I vow here and now to NEVER be that weight again!

surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 300 GW: 150

you look great . you can see the big change. proud of you.

Hi all I'm new here had my surgery 6//18/13. I'm down 41 lbs. I'm having a hard time finding a food plan. I still rely on protein shakes for most of my intake. I tolerate an egg ok. Maybe a teaspoon of tuna. But it seems like if I eat early in the day I never get my fluid in.

This has left me feeling blah. No energy = no exercise. Which I so desperately need to start. Any helpful ideas?

I do a similar plan ( for now) as baconville. solid food is s l o w l y.... being worked into my routine. call me sick but i like the protien shakes snd yougurt. i do encourage you too walk even if you have little energy now.

exercise = energy

basic physics" a body at rest will stay at rest, a body in motion will stay in motion" ...or something like that :-)

Trust me, i know it tough, my biggest battles are with the old me. the old me mants to sit around watching tv or some crap like that. the new me has to mentally jump the old me beat the crap out of him and drag his big ass out for a walk :-) .......the new me is fearless. and kicks ass.

have a great day. its a beautiful day here in Philly come out for a walk.

Way to go!! Those numbers are more important that any number you see on the scale!

You keep kicking ass!!!! I want to be like you when I grow up!!!

I am working so hard to get my protein amounts up. I think the most I have done is 55. I am so sick of protein shakes and things that are sweet!

I am stalling right now so I know I have to get those numbers up.

Question for the Junies: I do much better with food that is a little spicy-Mexican spicy- than with blander food, is that weird?

Me too! I thought I was just being strange but I realized that I'm enjoying spicy food more that I did presurgery. And I've had a few stuck episodes recently but I never get stuck with food that has a kick. I wonder why that is?

Maybe spice gets the digesyive juices going?
