Had RNY 12-12-12 Today I weighed and am down exactly 50 pounds. Hot damn. 21 more pounds until my mini goal of being in wonderland.

No gas and about 1 BM a week...

2 weeks.... Lol

Oh my goodness I thought I was the only one that was having UTI problems. I've never experienced anything like this in my entire life. It is such an uncomfortable feeling. While at Walmart tonight I picked up some cranberry vitamins to add to my daily vitamin list I figured it probably can't hurt. It wasn't next to the Azo ones it was in the vitamin section. I guess I should probably call my doctor doublecheck but what is everyone else been doing to fight the urges of having to Pee all the time. Anyone know why we're having these UTI issues after surgery I never happened before my life.

Yes! Everyone keeps telling me and I love it. Haha I literally always have a smile on my face. Now if only a handsome young man would tell me how beautiful I am. I mean I love my friends but momma needs a man! keep going out and enjoy the new you in progress!

Hey girl hey!

Anyone drink more when it's warm liquid? I think I can drink more if its hot or warm drinks. Lol.

I had mine on 12/12 and I do everything now. Zumba,jogging and machines at the gym! Just stop when your body tells you to.

2hrs of Zumba party!!

Thanks. Good idea half and half

Hmm I think it taste like juice! Also I have a question I really want grape juice. It has sugar but if I get a no added sugar 100% juice is that sugar okay? Fruit just has sugar in it.... Thoughts? Does anyone drink juice?

Found this at the store. It's like a flavored water but better. Only 1 gram of sugar and 10 cal. It taste so good. Anyone else drink these? Good morning friends

Down 45 pounds and loving life Can't wait to hit -50 and then 75!!! I am loving the compliments people give me. Selfish but I can't keep a smile off my face!

Hello ladies! I am indeed single. I can't wait to not be single anymore. I really want to get married and have kids. I'm hoping having the surgery will help with that!

Grits and an over easy egg! I wanted something warm that wasn't soup! I want tacos now after reading this. Hah

You look great! And your sons pretty cute too. Lol. Did you workout a lot also?

I bought mini saltine crackers. They go down fine. I started on week 3!

Hey y'all. About to start week 6!! I'm allowed toasted bread and pasta! I think I'll wait on the pasta but toast sounds so good! Has anyone else tried toasted bread?

Now I know some people have experienced this before. I have been lucky thus far with the amount of support i have gotten. Yeah I had a few friends try to ask me if there were any other ways. Other then that my friends and my family, most of it, are extremely happy for me.... and scared! Well from the get go my sister was not a fan. She didn't want me to do it and wouldn't talk to me for about two weeks after deciding to do it. Well I'm now 1 week post op and she still won't speak to me. I texted her to ask her to call me, to talk about Christmas, no answer. She then calls my mom and I yell to my mom to tell her i need to talk to her. Her response was ' I don't want to talk to her" Well then my mom got mad and I cried. I have not cried at all this whole experience until then! Long story short she continued to be mean and rude to my mom threw text messages. Her words where. " She just gave up, I have lost all respect for her" Does she not know this is not giving up. This is a tool to help me further my weight loss goals. Giving up, are you fucking kidding me. For the last week every second of every day I have to think about what I am putting in my mouth. How far I've walked, how much i pee and poop. This was not giving up. This was making an ENTIRE life change! It blows my mind that such a smart women can be so childish and mean. If it was a friend of a stranger i wouldn't care so much. She's not only my sister but my best friend. I'm sure others have similar stories and sorry but I just needed to rant! Thank you all for all the support. This site has truly been a blessing! <3 Samantha

Any cute dresses?

Going to the doctor tomorrow! Anyone have any questions they want me to ask?

He doesn't know! I don't want to get yelled at! Also I haven't seen him yet. I will this Thursday.

Well I am failing! I had surgery 12-12-12 and am still not getting in protein or liquids. I might eat a few bites of chicken or tuna and about 10 ounces of water a day top. I work out and live my life and feel fine. I don't feel dehydrated or hungry. I am worried that over time this isn't going to work. But I am a almost a month and have not had a single complication. Is the worst yet to come?

Single for life lol

I had PERFECT skin.. Now it's broken out... Anyone else have this happen?
