So excited and nervous! Is anyone else having surgery on my date? I would like us all in one thread to give our own experiences. It'll be great! We will all be in pain at the same time. [emoji1]

Dang! Lol .. oh well... I'll ask in November... I don't want to email her about it because I don't want her to think it's serious enough to where I'm eating it all the time... But sometimes my sister makes it, and it smells sooooo good

Aww, I read it too late. lol.. I had the RNY bypass

In two days we'll be 3 months Post-Op or starting off our 14th week...

I feel great, healthier, lighter, my hair has begun to fall off, but I'm in the lucky group that has extremely thick hair and I have A LOT. Although I notice it, no one else does. So that's another thing I am extremely grateful for.

I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do. I am now able to take my chewable vitamins without getting sick. My protein is perfect, but my food intake needs work. Because I feel full all day, I thought I was over eating, but I need improvement. Doctor wants me to eat more. It's just hard because well... I don't want to eat! Lol.

Anyway, I am still as grateful as I was the day of surgery. Some people don't have insurance like me. I'm humbled and happy. I'm a very happier person.

Things I have noticed that bugs me a little... People are MUCH nicer to a thinner person. I still have 30 more pounds to lose, but it's terrible knowing that some people wouldn't talk to me before because I was big. Now, everyone is extremely nice. Smh

Still the same, I'm a happier person.

I was last patient. Office was closing but nurse practitioner was going to call me back with the answer but I was in Kohl's shopping when she called and could not get good enough reception to answer the phone. So apparently we weren't supposed to know the answer to that popcorn question today

Part of me agrees that people are nicer to thinner people, but then I wonder if I'm just not putting off the same Vibe as I was when I was heavy.... maybe I'm coming across more approachable more confident more willing to talk to strangers, I don't know.

I thought I was eating like a pig... But my doctor said I'm not eating enough and I'm losing weight way too fast...

It only concerns me because what if when I'm done losing weight, I can't stop.

I didn't worry about too many things prior to surgery but losing too much weight was a concern of mine. I'm getting close to my goal and wondered what I am going to do different in order to stop losing. I'm never hungry, I eat because I'm suppose to and I eat until I'm full.... I have not tried anything really but meat...a little veggies and a little fruit.

I know they say our hunger and cravings will eventually kick back in. I think I read between 6 months to a year...does that sound right?

I'm actually setting at docs office right now for a check up...im gonna ask what approach I take to stop losing and when the heck I can have a glass of wine...lol. at this point, I would settle for a thimble full.

OH, can you ask about pop corn? i keep forgetting to ask my doctor when i see her..lol

I just spoke to nurse practitioner and ask her if at 3 months after having RNY I could eat raisins, nuts, sunflower seeds and popcorn and her answer was yes, none of that will harm anything.... but it's possible you won't tolerate it but it's not going to hurt. And even if you don't tolerate it well right now it doesn't mean that later in life you won't be able to

Great! Thank you so much.. I've been wanting to eat sunflower seeds too.. yey..

Fyi- had my first drink of alcohol last night (3 months RNY post-op) red dry wine. Before surgery I was a wino lol.

You know, it was a little disappointing.... I was expecting it to hit the spot and more. But to be honest I'm glad it didn't I don't need those extra calories

I'm not much of a drinker of any kind of alcohol. When I did drink, it was only to get a buzz. Did you get a buzz? I hear we get buzzed really fast.

Just a little...not at all what I was expecting. It was only one glass but I thought I would get a buzz from that.

Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

Hmm.. that's good to know.. I'll just keep avoiding it. I don't like beer or wine.. I only drink shots of liquor to get drunk. But I don't miss it, so I'll just wait.. thank you for the information.

By the way, I'm only 2.4 pounds away from JUST being over weight!!! No more being obese for me!!! Yey!!
