I could be wrong here but does it not feel great to be a XL. My self I went from a 3x to a XL went from a 48 pants to 40 right now and their getting baggy but not ready for 38 just yet. Great job so far keep it going Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

One day I started having pain in the center of my chest did not want to eat. Everything I did eat went down hard and did not sit well. Frist thing I thought was gallbladder. Went and saw RNY doctor she ask if I was having trouble eating (yes) did it hurt to drink Water (yes) did the pain go under my right breast (no) she pressed on my abdomon and then told me I had a ulcer. They put me back on acid blockers gave me a crip for ulcer Med's and sent me home. It took only 2 days for the Med's to start to work with in a week you would never know I had a ulcer. My doctor did not like to call them ulcers but called them a wound where a staple in my pouch was getting infected Becuse of acid. Once back on acid blockers and ulcer Med's that cover the pouch from acid I feel fine. Maybe you should call your RNY doctor and see what he/she thinks Hope you feel better soon Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Check with your doctor see what he/she has to offer. Something in your body is out of wack Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Not trying to be mean just trying to give tough love. 10 weeks after surgery I blowed out the 1 of the 6 plate that held my leg together for the last 6 years and had to have emergency surgery. I was told by doctors that it would be 6-8 weeks befor I could go back to the gym ans work out. 3 weeks later I'm back in the gym working out and losing weight. Now I know you are not me and I understand your pain but you can't let this side line you from all the great weight loss you have had. Going back and do what made you lose the weight in the begining drink the protein drinks go back to 2-3 oz of food at a time 5-6 times a day. There is upper body exercise that you can do to help and even with a hip replacement or repair the doctors must want you to walk. Start out slow and build from there. And keep us posted we are here for you sorry if this sounds mean its not ment that way. For 6 years I have lived with pain in my right leg from a drunk that crushed it when he ran me over having WLS has made the world of difference the weight is off my leg and it feels 200% better and getting better every day Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

What if What if. Relaxe this is the hardest part waiting that and the pre op liquid diet. 49 Days will fly by and by Christmas you will have had your surgeery and be on your way to a brand new Wardrobe. So take it eazy with the What ifs you will only drive your self crazy. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Ssaw a post this morning from a girl who wanted you to email her and she would be your friend send you information about her self and even send you personal pictures. she has been removed since then. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

its going to take a while aftter surgery before you start to get sugar craving. for a while you wont want food some times it will make you sick just smelling food. then you will wake up in the middle of the night craving your favorite food. it happend to me not saying it will be like that for you. That and food you used to love and give comfort will now not love you back. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

i didnt mean points i should have said caloriess. i know whaits like i have all i can do to get 800 calories in Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Hate to bust In on the lady's room but have you tryed upping your calorie intake a 100 or so points. When I take in less then 800 I don't lose weight when I take in more then 800 I lose weight. And it's a struggle to get in 800 calories. If all fails try Cross fit trainning if that does not kill you you may lose a few more lbs. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Try mixing in a little garlic and sour cream makes mashed cauliflower even better Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

My GNS yesterday had Quest bars on sale by the box of 12 for 24.95 the sames man said it was company wide promotion. You may want to call first and see if your GNC offers them at $24.95 Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Great job and just think how hot your going to look.( my wife just left the room so I can type this ) haha LOL Just think that with in 1 year you will be at your target weight and a brand new wardrobe. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Everyone losses at a different pace. Some people that have less to lose do so at a slower pace then those that have a lot to lose. Don't worrie that someone is lossing faster then you it will come off. Stay off the scale just 1 time a week or you will be disappointed with what you see and cut back on your food intake. This is not good don't put your body in to starvation mode you won't lose any weight. Your body will hold on to what ever you eat. Besides the scale may not move but your body is still changing, ie like your rings are lose your pants hang low your shirts are baggy. Even your shoes don't fit right any more . iT WILL COME OFF give it time. 19 lbs or 30 lbs in 3 weeks WAY TO GO keep it up Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Your abdomen muscles where cut and stitched back together what your feeling is normal. If how ever it continues pleas call your doctor. I had the same pain on my left side and it did go away Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

My doctor recommend not drinking Becuse the alcohol is now digested in the small intestines which will absorb the alcohol much faster thus giving you a buzz faster then normal. That and the fact that alcohol is a bad habit that will lead to other bad habits that will lead to weight gain and then frailer at WLS. For me that scares the hell out of me I don't want to be FAT ever again. So if it means giving up beer,soda,candy,fatting foods I'm ok with that. I love the way I'm looking and haven't been this light in 40 years. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Sorry I have been stop up a lot some times for days. Depends on how much I eat. To little no poop 800 caloies a day I go every day. Try apple juice it's got a lot of natural sugar but will make you want to be close to a bathroom, or prun juice Good luck Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Welcome you are headed in the right direction any questions just ask their are a lot of very smart people on this Fourm that will answer your questions Good luck on your new Journy Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Walking worked for me but at first it felt like I was going to throw up till I learned that it was just gas. Did the doctors put you on a Acid blocker if not this may help you not make acid which makes gas ??? Talk to you doctor and tell him what's going on he should be able to help. And it will pass. Congrats on taking the big step to better health in time you are going to love the way you look Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I wish skinny people would learn before they open their mouths and say some thing STUPID. Think this is the easy way out try eating what I eat try feeling the way I feel at times. Try working out till you want to cry from the pain but know you can't quite. Try being scared to fail so you can say see I told you so. Think this is easy try walking in my shoes before you pass judgement. After that then you can have your opinion till then SHUT UP and SUPPORT ME Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

My co- workers and company have been behind me and have supported me on this Journy to better health. We have had 2 other people go though WLS so the company know that it works for both them selfs and the worker that is now not losing time from work and is much healthier. Some of my co workers now call me a frail old man after losing 68 lbs. Ok I can live with that. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Take him to the support group meeting with you. So he can see people that have had WLS and ask questions don't be afraid. Knowledge is a wonderful thing and will help him to support you and understand that when you get thin you won't be leaving him cheating on him, and he can help you though the tuff times that you will be facing. This is no easy way out it HARD and we need all the help we can get. My wife and I go to support group meetings every month before and after surgery there we have meet people that are 2-8 years post op and still come to the meetings. Reserch Reserch Reserch. And ask questions. Post them here and some one or everyone will do there best to give you great advice. Listen to what your doctor tells you. Good luck on your new Journy Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12
