So happy that I hit my goal weight of 250 pounds this week. I am down to 243. For a frame of reference I was 560 pounds, down to 427 DOS. Surgery was on October 3, 2012. I was in a 68" pant and a 7xl shirt. Wore a size 16eee shoe. Now I am In a 40" waist, XL shirts, and 13 shoe. Big difference in clothing choice as well. Just thought I would share with everyone. Happy holidays to all.

keep going at it. It will drop some more. Congrats.

That is different. Have not experienced this at all. Damn breads will kill us all somehow.....

This happened to me around the same timing. It just stopped coming off. The weight that is. Came to find out that I was not absorbing enough protein. I had to spread it out further throughout the day. Once I did that the weight dropped quickly. Hope this helps with the other suggestions already made. I was getting my protein goal in, body just was bit absorbing it so I was wasting protein. Body can only handle so much at once and gets rid of the rest as waste.

I had half a prime rib mini sandwich and about 3 oz meaty baked beans.

I could not eat chicken for the first 6 months post op. It made me sick just looking smelling or tasting it. Terrible food aversion. Now it is fine. Have not got anything stuck since I tried broccoli once and decided never again. It has been 14 months since my surgery and am able to eat just about anything, just not a lot.

Not sure if anyone else still uses this thread. But today I weighted myself and I am down below 250 pounds. 250 was my goal all along since I weighted almost 600 pounds three years ago. Surgery was 10/3/12 and today I am 243 pounds. Day of surgery I was 427.

As of Friday I am down to 265 pounds. Been awhile since I posted since I had not realized RNY talk was gone. But now I am back and down 295 pounds. Surgery was on 10/3/2012.

Congrats. It will be 100% worth it.

I am 8 months out and no longer get nauseated and feel great. It will pass and your energy will skyrocket. Took me a good six months to feel normal again, or at least a new normal.

Have not posted in quite a while,but I have lost a lot of weight. SW 560 DOS 427 CW 295 GW 250 45 more to go. Had surgery on Oct 3,2012. Had to lose over a hundred before surgery and have lost over a hundred since. Surgery saved my life and am feeling great.

The gas pains SUCKED!!!!! IT WILL get better. I am feeling awesome right now. It has been almost 5 months for me.

Not much more to add to what was already said, but pretty much everyone is different to what they can tolerate. I can have fruits, splenda, even sugar free pie(very rare once a month or so) and no problems at all. Only caused dumping once and that was enough. I have to stay under 20grams in a sitting, then wait several hours.

Close to Philly for me, I am in New Castle, Delaware. Come to Philly often to catch Phillies and Flyers games.

Okay it has been a long time since I posted here. I have been stalled for many weeks. Suddenly boom, it kicks back in high gear. I have lost 25 pounds in the past two weeks. HWT: 560 Surgery Weight: 427 DOS: 10/3/2012 CURRENT WEIGHT: 319........BOOM!!!!!! 19 more pounds to go to get back into the 200's for the first time since my Freshman year of high school.

HW: 560 Surgery:10/3/2012 CW:334

Down to 338. Losing like mad. Total weight lost is 222lbs.

Great job on the weigh ins everyone. Cannot believe I am down to 350 now.

Was stuck for three weeks. Had to increase protein intake. It happens. Hit your goals you will be fine.

WOOHOO!!!!! The scale moved first time in three weeks. I needed to increase my intake. HW: 560 DOS:10/3/12 DOS W:427 CW:350 Feeling good now. Also went from a 68 waist to a 50.

I eat the small chili from Wendy's all the time. Even a Baja half salad. It takes me a good 30 to 40 minutes to eat them, but it does full me up. Good source of protein as well as good fat.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am going to try some of the ideas that the RD gave me.

Does Protein make anyone else nauseated. I can't eat but two bites of chicken before I want to barf. Beef is ok as well as eggs. The only Protein shake that I can stomach is the pure protein cans. But at 4 bucks a can that is expensive. Is this normal and will it go away. DOS: 10/3/12

Will not weigh my self tomorrow as I already know it will be 365. That what it was at my 2 month post op with NP and RD. my protein level is low so body went into starvation mode. I need to spread my protein out over the entire day. Yea me. 4 weeks at 365, but now I know how to fix it. DOS: 10/3/12 HW: 560 DOS W: 427 CW: 365 Pant size at surgery 68. Current pant size 52.
