I hear you! This is a hard long journey. Esp for us emotional eaters. Nikki is right. I know I am going to have to deal with this beast with a professional. I've lost weight in past only to have my emotions slaughter all of my work. Plus the weight loss release tons of hormones causing us to be even more emotional. Take it day by day. :-).

Yea!!! I knew you could do it!! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!

Wow great pics!! So many success stories!!

Nivea is pretty good for firming and Palmers oil for stretch marks. It's made for pregnant bellies. :-). The firming creams only help a little but I noticed my skin was less wrinkly but still sagging. Sigh.

I'm trying oatmeal tomorrow. I know this sounds dumb but if I can eat just a little I can go out to breakfast with my hubby. Even if it is only two bites. I miss that terribly.

I hope the weight does drop off!! I think I am going to do shakes and yogurt during the day esp at work and then try the puréed foods at night. Last thing I need is to be miserable at work.

Mine was the 19th and I've only lost about 13 pounds. But I'll take it!!

The first week is the worst. After that everything starts to heal. The gas gets better the second week as well. As hard as it is the more I moved the better it was. It helped with the gas and some of the nausea. Good luck!!

I won't watch any of the real ones just the animated. I was afraid I would freak out!

Hope you hear soon!!!

Sounds like we are on the same diet! Sigh

I tried cream of wheat and was ok. The oatmeal may have shocked your system with the fiber.

I need to complain.. Why the hell do they move us to puréed foods when you can't eat them and drink enough shakes to get in 60-85 grams of protein a day. It's impossible when you have to wait 30 minutes after and before drinking. It's impossible. I guess I'll be on shakes for another month. I've tried to eat but you get to full and not enough protein. I'm just frustrated. :-(

Actually they checked me while I was under with the scope and the next day.

Go Niki!!! We are with you!!

I think muscle milk is lactose free.

It will come off. Our bodies are just well, pissed. We have really abused them and now we are basically starving. I know they say patience is a virtue but its very difficult. :-).

Hey guys! Just found this thread. I'm 40 and that was a major factor in me having RNY. Was not going to live the second half of my life like this. Had my surgeries ( and an intestine twist). the week of 11/19 and doing well so far!

My nurses were a life savor!! I was at Magee in Pittsburgh. Wonderful!! You were cracking me up about the gown. The heart monitor kept pulling mine down. I hope I didn't 'boob' anyone. They are probably still in a stupor. And yes the barium is horrid! I had a stricture develop and they were like drink drink. I couldn't drink Water without barfing. I was actually crying. Keep up the good spirits. Everyday gets better and I use them to motivate me when I have an off day. Good luck!!

I give you all so much credit. Every time I see this post I envision my knee caps flying across the room. lol maybe a few pounds from now!! Go girls!!

Lipton has a decaf ice tea too!!

I was tasting hot wing sauce the other day. I still love it and the little bit seemed ok.

Those first pair of pants in a regular size is such a victory! We will get there!!

It's so weird. Mine ok'd gummies.

You may have low BP. Are you still on meds? Also the cold could be the rapid weight loss or low iron. I'd call your dr. :-)
