Hi my name is Heather and I had RNY on 11/18/13. I am looking to connect with other African American women who had RNY. Any takers?

9 months to get to 135 then it took 6 months to get the 6 lbs off. I'm hoping for 5 more pounds before I totally level off.

That's awesome! Can you post a current pic here?

Great job! When did you have surgery?

Any tips on how to speed up my weight loss? I need help!

I am a slow loser and it's frustrating me to no end. My doc says I should focus on 64oz of water per day and 60-90g of protein. Any tips on how to get all my water and protein in daily? I will be 8 weeks on Monday. :-(

Im a slow loser to just not coming off the way i want

I am still in the process of completing my pre-op requirements. After speaking with my surgeon, the RNY was highly recommended because of severe GERD. I am glad I came across this website and forum, it is my prayer to meet new people, to learn and take something from each person's journey.
