It's been 4 months and I'm feeling great. so far I've lost 65lbs went from a size 3x to now XL/1x and I'm able to tolerate everything. I don't dump, have nausea or any of that stuff. I've been very very careful with my eating and chewing. however I am experiencing hair loss which I know a lot of rnys have to go through. it started around my 3 month post op but I think it has slowed down (I hope). life has been pretty normal.. I have more confidence now.. and actually feel good about myself. before this I was in a very dark place but things are going ok now. a little about my diet I have Protein throughout the day such as fish, chicken, Beans, etc along with my veggies. that's basically the only way I eat of course and I absolutely love it! no rice, no Pasta, bread, etc.. which I find is so great. I love this diet and will always follow it for the rest of my life. I l have no interest in those old carby foods.. anyways.. I'm really looking forward and can't wait to see myself on my 1 year surgiversary. I hope everyone is doing well and good luck to those now starting/already on their journey wishing everyone the best new year filled with great health and success. take care all ♥

Congratulations Vickie, we both had our RNY the same month. I'm doing good so far too. I hope to hear about your progress in the months to come.

I am three weeks post-op yesterday. I'm kind of in the heat of the struggle right now. Hearing about your success and that things didn't get better for you is giving me the courage to continue. Keep the good news coming!

Im three weeks out ive lost 10 stinking lbs whats my problem? Please some one help me.

You must be patient and stay the course. The weight will come off. Everyone has there own pace in this game. For me everything just fell off until three weeks ago and then nothing. But I know in time the weight will start coming off again. Best of luck to you.

Laurarogersclark, I'm also working on 3 weeks, and haven't lost much weight. I blame it on not being about to go to the bathroom.

Congrats to you all, stay focus and take one day at a time the weight will come off, remember you did not gain the weight overnight. I am 7 months post opt you will gave stalls but remember as long as your eating right everything will be ok . Good luck.

10 pounds in 3 weeks ... i think that's great. please remember that the iv fluids you received in the hospital added weight to you. how many calories are you having a day? how much Protein? I'm two months out. I am learning patience and practicing gratitude. Im also learning to eat more slowly and to chew chew chew my food.

How long before you can have steak? Do you feel like you are missing out on other things

I think you can have steak about three months after surgery but I'm not sure since I haven't eaten any steak yet. Beef is a little hard for my pouch and when I did have beef I wasn't thrilled with the taste.

Vicki Sage - What a terrific update! I am glad that things are going so well for you!

I am 3 months post and I eat steak. I have for a month now. I love it. All I have to do is chew it well. It's easier if I cut it into tiny bites. I don't eat any fat or gristle.

I'm almost 4wks post op. I've been messing with my slow cooker to get really tender meat and it's working!! I've lost almost 40lbs and I don't really keep track of my calories because I barely eat as it is. It's so hard to eat when you get full so quickly. I give all my scraps to the dog. He thinks it's Christmas everyday. LOL
