I would like vegetarian choices for protein I don't eat meat.

I'm glad that you asked this question, I tan also just to keep an even skin color.

You might be building mussel, which weighs more than fat. Are the clothing sizes getting smaller?

I understand what you are going through. I find my self doing the same thing, some days I'm on a very good diet of fruit, veggies, Protein shakes tons of Water and Vitamins but the next day I'm ordering pizza. I have 32 days until my surgery and I'm not on my per op diet just yet so I think mentally to deal with my stress of the surgery and the fact that I will be without these foods that I love so much for quite awhile, I'm so called "getting it in" while I can. If it gets to out of hand I take an appetite suppressant to kill the cravings, this always get's me back on track. I know that I'm going to have to take them while I'm on my liver shrinking diet just before my date.

How was your pain?

It was probably her first day on the job. I seam to get those to often. Boo to the new people that can't find what's in their face.

I would bet that most people don't like pain at all. I plan on taking my pain med early and often. I'm just not going to drive for some time...lol that's one way to get my walking in...lol

I sure hope that it's doable, because I will be doing it sole...I could tell friends or family but I really rather not.

Wow, That was fast! What did you do to recover so fast? I need to bounce back just like you did, please share.

lol...

Yeaaaah Good for you! I will have my phone by my side and will get on RNY as soon as I can to check on you Oct. 15, date folks such as myself. I'm happy to know that we will be doing it together.

See this scares me because I don't like to be in pain. I'm a big baby...I think that I will be popping pain meds like crazy!

Yes mama my date is Oct. 15, 2012 so I'm going in a day before you. There is a thread fro Oct. surgery dates that was started last week I believe you should post to that one also...and welcome the the family.

Welcome!

Oh wow! Good for you please keep me/us up to date on your progress.

Thank you. How are you feeling at this time? Is your energy returning? Are you back to work yet?

Thank you, I am glad that my RNY Talk family is supportive and you all have helped me out more than you will ever know. I remember reading all of your post and was so happy when you posted your progress pic, you are looking so good. It's good to know that I have you to talk to about this journey that we are on. I don't mind doing it alone, I'm at peace with that, want to relax and heal without company.

It does feel good to have a date. Six weeks post op, that's great! How is your energy at this point? I'm trying to move things around with my schedule because I'm not sure how my energy is going to be. How do you feel?

Your date is Oct. 15th?

Yes, Yes, Yes!!! My date is Oct. 15, 2012!!! I've waited for this date since 2009. Now that I have a date for my RNY I have been cleaning house, refridorator, cabinets, discarding all old paper and crap that I don't want or need any more. I think I'm purging the old to make room for the new life that I'm praying and expecting. I'm looking at ordering my vitimans, protein drinks and picking up few jars of organic baby food from Whole Foods. No one knows about my sergery yet and I don't plan on telling anyone, the guy that I'm dateing will only know that I need him to pick me up from the hospital after I'm discharged but, he won't know why. lol I'm just being very private about it for now, there are a bunch of worrie worts around me and I don't need that stress. I'm counting down the days, and still have a lot to do in pre-op testing and last group nutrition appointment so we are off to a great start! I'm happy and ready! Best of luck to all of you having RNY this month!!!

I totally understand how you feel, I know two people who have had it done and one didn't tell me but, I know that she had it. I don't mind that she didn't tell me, I actually understand because I haven't told anyone.

Great question,I love yoga and plan on doing it as often as I can.

Welcome, I'm also having my RNY in Nov. but not till the 15th I just found out yesterday so I'm still super excited. Best if luck yo you.

Best of luck to you and a quick recovery, you will make the best choice for you, try to relax:-)

Thank you all it's good to have you that understands how and what I'm feeling. I'm ok with it all, I'm an only child so I'm use to and content with doing things on my own. Some things are just very personal and private to me. But, I do enjoy talking to you all. Thanks again for your support and incuragagement, it means a lot to me:-)
