At about 8 weeks post op, I started to drink 1 can of diet dr pepper per day, I sip through out the day. It keeps me sane because I don't drink coffee lol. I told my dr and he said that carbonation has not been proven to stretch the pouch, they say to avoid it because it MAY cause discomfort. And in my case, it has not. So he said one a day is ok. I make sure I eat right and take my Vitamins. And I'm doing fabulous. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

To be completely honest, it's been great not many struggles I am able to say that I am 100% happy w/ my decision. At first I was bummed that the weight came off slow, but when I tried clothes on, I realized the inches were falling off. At first I was sad I couldn't eat the foods I love, but now I could care less because I don't miss the weight. My confidence has become so much better, and the compliments put me on cloud 9, it's the best thing I have ever done. (Besides birthing my children) follow your heart, and u will do great. Oh And I have never once dumped Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Ok so this is totally unrelated to rny but I need some advice.... I have this male friend, we have been good friends for about 2 years, and even attempted to go out but we never clicked that way. He is a great guy and often ladies take his kindness for weakness. I ended up introducing my single friend to him and they hit it off, after 4 months she ended it really bad and blew him off. Well recently we hung out and I have developed some feelings towards him and we eventually had sex. It was amazing. Lol but now I feel like a horrible friend cuz that's her ex but he was my friend first... I don't know what to think or do..... Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Does Medicaid cover rny? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I think u will be fine. I went out with the girls 6 weeks post op, and had 4 shots of patron, and didn't even catch a buzz! Lol but I haven't had any since then and it didn't make me sick or anything. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

The best investment u can make is to buy a boppy pillow, for nursing moms. I had one from when my son was born and was able to sleep with it around my waist and abdomen and slept so comfortable. I actually couldn't sleep without it. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

After surgery in sure the dr checks blood levels, right? When do they usually do this? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I know that everyone loses weight at different rates but I can't help but to admit that I'm jealous that I haven't lost that much since surgery. I have lost 30 pounds in 7 weeks but I am stuck. I excersice and have been getting lots of Protein an Water. I sometimes feel like I am not gonna lose what I hoped to lose. I do not regret the decision to have RNY but I am sad that it's not coming off as fast as others, any advise or encouragement is greatly appreciated Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I'm also 7 weeks out, I started at 264 and now I'm stuck at 232, what is your typical day of eating like? I'm stuck and can't get out lol Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I am always cold after weight loss surgery, and use to be hot all the time, anyone else experience this? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Today I woke up nauseous, and had no desire to eat, I tried to eat a little something to make it go away. But it made it worse. Later I had a protein drink and still feel nauseous and fatigue. I'm in a gloomy mood today and all I want to do is sleep Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
