I think you should go back to exercising 5 days a week until then.. .that way they can't say that's it. You've got all of your T's crossed so to say: ) Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

A. Mine would be that my sleep apnea is gone and I haven't had heartburn since surgery,.. B. I'm closer to playing basketball again and jogging. (Ive always felt like I would break something if I ran and/or jumped)... C. The best advice I would give someone about to have surgery is to not let other people's ignorance of the procedure or negative opinions affect your decision to take control of your life by no longer letting food control you.

Way to go...you'll be home tomorrow. The sooner you're up and around the better...best wishes Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

I noticed in one of your other posts u said u eat three meals and a snack....I checked my "bariatric bible" and throughout it it says we should be eating 4 small meals. Maybe you aren't eating enough. Most of our protein comes from meat. I was told to eat that first then the veggies. Then there is beneprotein by carnation that can be mixed into your food to up the protein content. Hope some if my ramblings help. It saddens my heart to hear you're feeling like a failure when you have had an encouraging word for everyone on here. You are our role model. Please call your surgeons office so they can get you off of this plateau...we need you! Best wishes Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

Good luck and Congrats! Think only positive thoughts when you wake up in the morning and remember the Lords loving arms are around you! Let us know how things are as soon as you can...you know us ladies are nosey and we need all of the details! Lol Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

R u still on Protein shakes? The nutritionist here said its best to try to wean off of the shakes and get your protein from actual food. Eating your protein as opposed to drinking it helps speed up your metabolism....I most definitely would call your nutritionist if the practice you went to has one. Most definitely. Meantime hang in there and as I always say prayer changes things. I read an article recently about a lady that prayed her way thin! Don't know why I didn't think of that!

I don't know I get a prescription from my Dr...the generic is called Loratadine Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

I would say maybe talk to your Dr about your dose of meds. I believe its something with the mal absorption because my Claritin doesn't work like it used to. Instead if once every 24 hours it wears off waaay sooner than that. When I let the pill sit under my tongue and dissolve I get better results. Thank God Claritin isn't one of those grossly nasty pills! Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

The only embarrassing thing is to not ask questions. The first 2 - 3 weeks I called everyone in my Drs. office so frequently that when I stopped they started calling me! No such thing as a stupid question especially when you're talking about your health and your life....tell your friend to join our group so that we can help and support them also with our encouraging words Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

I was wondering the same thing. Are you really petite? I thought you had to be at least 100 lbs overweight to have rny....good luck with your surgery though and congrats on your tremendous weight loss on your own! You almost beat the biggest loser! Lol!: ) Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

Amen! Its good that you are keeping it positive! Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

Thank God I don't have one of those husband things! Lol! Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

Its most definitely a total body workout. Its more like Latin dancing. I have a friend taking a zumba class at a gym and she's lost 20 lbs and 12 inches in 2 1/2 months. No surgery. It is very intense. If your kids have a video gaming system u can buy the game. Which is the same as the DVDs but it tracks your progress too. They make it for the wii also.

If u wanna feel REAL pathetic try Zumba fitness rush. I do it on my daughters Xbox connect and I'm drenched in sweat in 5 mins. Lol. It is very intense. I do that for a 1/2 hour on the days I can't get out and walk. Sometimes I do the stationary bike for a 1/2 hour. I like to mix things up Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

I detest eggs now since survey also....and I was an egg lover. .y mom today suggested that I try eating just the whites Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

You've hit a plateau. Make sure you r getting all of your fluids in....your body is adjusting to your new metabolism. Try not to get discouraged and hang in there...you will be okay: ) Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

You've lost 28 lbs in 18 days! What do you mean!?!?!? Sounds like nothing to be discouraged about to me!: ). Way to go girl! Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk
