I'm so sorry ypu are going through this. It is horrible! I'm mostly sorry that your surgeon office ddnt inform ypu about this, its one of the most common problems that occur after rny. Thankfully , it's an easy fix and as soon as you're done you'll feel much much better! Best wishes to you! Keep us posted

I'm going to have an endoscope done too. I've been so sick the past week and a half. The doc at first thought it was low blood sugar then I got worse. Now they are saying the opening of my new stomach is closing and needs to be stretched asap! Also it can take more than once to make it open back up. I wish they told me this could happen. I'm almost two months out and somewhat wishing I didn't do this surgery...

two weeks one day out and down 19 pounds. I can't wait till next year at this time!

10 wks out down 69lbs. everything is good! Happy with my decision to have RNY

You look freaking amazing!!!

How Is Everyone Doing? I Am 8 months Post Op Down To 148 lbs And Feeling Great!.. How Much Have You Lost So Far?

Oh yes, I went from a 11w to a size 7
I can also fit my 13 years sneakers 6 1/2 a little snug but I couldn't believe it...
now I notice my kids hiding their shoes LOL

My surgery was on July 31st without any complications. This has been the best decision I have ever taken. The only problem I see is that I am never hungry. I do not like anything. I like it in the morning and then I don’t like it. I take my Vitamins regularly. It took me a while to keep my food and not vomit it, but I fixed it by cutting everything with scissors. The only set back has been that I got an abscess and it got infected. I have been taking antibiotics for 1 week and it has gotten better but the fever is still present. Total weight loss 67 lbs.

I promise my self ill never be that big again! I started at 350 as of today I'm 225! My goal weight is 170 so I still got a ways to go but I'm 5 months out & hitting a stall!!! But he's a before & after lol

Remember when it would be so slow we would just give up? And remember did u put all that weight on in six or eight weeks ?This is different now cause this is how we eat .( for life) I haven't weighed myself in over a week so I am 6 weeks out and only have lost 16 lbs as of 9/9 . But today I tried on jeans started with my 22 too big went to the 20 too big went to the18 and they fit great ! Picked up the 16 put them on to tight to be comfortable . So they are my new scale once a week I will just try them on .

I'm stuck too but I know from previous weight loss experience, it happens. Atkins said a stall wasn't a stall until 4 weeks. My previous pattern was to stall three weeks and drop it all the fourth week. Frustrating but it's a pattern I had in the past. I was hoping this would have me losing weight faster and that I wouldn't stall like this but I guess I am going to!

You will have many stalls throughout this journey, but the best thing is we lose inches, lose sizes, feel better, we see a difference so don't be stressed by numbers.....protein, Water and exercise and hide the scale for a few days....
at 8wks your body is still trying to figure out what is going on its normal...you will lose weight, just keep a positive attitude and continue what your doing...and remember you will continue having stalls throughout your journey...good thing about it the scale does move along...its a process, and all of us are working process to progress
Good Luck!

One of our success stories just posted this from her docs office, it's perfect!

Take a deep breath, you'll be fine. Very very doubtful that you've stopped losing at 8 weeks out. Your body is really freaked out by what has happened. It's doing its best to keep you from starving to death. If you are following your docs rules for diet and exercise, Protein, Water, etc, YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT.....but it does take time. Take a breath, you'll get there. Freakin out only causes more creaking out.

Your weight loss will fluctuate. Sometimes you'll lose weight quickly. Sometimes more slowly. Sometimes not at all. But your focus is ALWAYS the same regardless of what your weight is doing. Stay positive. Stay patient. Stay focused on following the protocol as closely to the letter as you possibly can. Measure your success against these things and the weight will take care of itself. Allow your body to find its own way in its own time.
You're gonna love the new you!!

Ham steak and low carb "Mac" and cheese! SOO delicious!

My dad was very nervous about me having the surgery. Today he was having a senior moment calling for me in the other room and couldn't remember my name at first...and called me skinny Minnie instead... Made me smile.

Also have bought some Vitamins & supplements in "pearl" form. Those do melt and really aren't too big. At least should prevent the stuck feeling. I've found them at Walgreens also.

I just posted this in another thread.Maybe give these a try?? Got them at walgreens.

I had a Jimmy Johns Unwich, which is a sub wrapped in lettuce. It was 27 gr of Protein. I ate 1/2 and then finished it 3 hours later. Was so good and fresh.

I think when ppl say that they mean muscle takes up less space then fat.... if you are converting fat to muscle you are getting smaller even if you stay the same weight
