Happy Sunday all. It is already getting hot and humid here at 1020am and im not happy! On a good note my sis in law is taking her mom for the day so I am gonna crank the air and catch up on all my dvr shows ive been missing. Yay for some much needed me time! Weighed at 243 today. Only 3 lbs until 100 total. Cant even believe it!

Maybe only weigh yourself once a week?? We all go up and down but dont stress. Getting in gear cant hurt, but dont let it get you down my friend!

I love snow! Cant wait for it!

Let the nurse come out! That helps so much! It is supposed to be hell hot here the next week and I am pissed! Bring on the snow! Mother in law or not, the air WILL be turned out. She can wear a sweater and sit under a blanket!

Im sure your pouch is fine. Dont stress and just keep an eye on what you eat. Measure again if that helps.

Hasnt been humid this week but its coming big time starting tomorrow. That could be it. I usually get a terrible headache in the humidity. Guess I'll just keep an eye on it for a few days and keep taking the Water pill. Could be something simple!

I probably use too much salt but no different from before surgery. I was just pushed on my arms too and they stay indentex. This is pitting edema I think. Gonna have to google! I should probably make a dr appt this week.

So my daughter made homemade lasagna and then the girls made homemade empanadas with the mom in law. Cherry and apple! Talk about needing self control around here! We normally wouldnt have sweets but the mom in law wants to teach her granddaughters. It is nice to see but I wish someone would come take the goodies away! My daughter bought pecans and I told her to put it in all of the empanadas since im allergic to pecans. That is one way for me to stay away! Whatever works huh??!! I have been having some swelling lately. I wake up and hands, fingers, legs and feet are puffy. I thought my bp was maybe high but it is good. I have taken a water pill for a few days but I still wake up that way. Any idea what could be going on?? Anyone else have this. I had a hysterectomy so its not period related.

I took a double dose of miralax yesterday and still have the runs! Not good!

I physically cant eat that much at all at a sitting. I get full fast but then an hour later im looking for something again! I have been good so far but it is getting harder. I keep beef Jerky and cheese around for this reason. I figure that if im gonna eat again, at least it will have good Protein. It is sure hard work!

You are down 80 since surgery! Thats awesome!

Gosh krystal, you look sooooo great! Congrats to you girl! you look her age+

I read that Silica Complex by Puritans Pride really works?? Here is the link for the article I read. Actually the whole website has some good infor for post gastric bypass. http://www.livingafterwls.com/Library/Hair%20Loss.html#featured

Yay for you girl! You are awesome! How much smaller do you want to get??

I havent had the acne either! Either im really lucky or just behind you all.

Dumping was my deciding factor for rny too! It helps to know that if I eat something bad, there may be consequences! I am glad to hear that the hair will grow back! Im sure that doesnt help right now though when you are going through it. I keep waiting and waiting for mine to start coming out. ; ( Hang in there my friend.

Im the same way. I dont even want to try to eat some things because the thought of it makes me sick. I havent had any sweets as I am afraid of dumping since the cereal incident! Dont know if its a good thing but I am content with the few things I eat and the weight is coming off. I only have cravings or really "feel" hunger every once in awhile.

OMG! I havent had any hair loss yet and I hope I dont. The way you describe it is horrible! Isnt there anything that stops it??

Been feeling down the last few days. Its alot of stress having company in the house for MONTHS! We get along fine and she is very helpful but I just want my own space!!!!! She went to sit outside with my daughter so I can actually catch the Packers game! Go Pack! Oh yeah, weighed 244 today. Four more lbs until 100 total lost!

I cant do chicken either. Mostly eat beef jerky and chicken or turkey sausage for meat. Havent had steak yet. Peanut Butter sits really well for me.

My husband bought home 4 huge zucchinis so im gonna try this tomorrow.

Welcome to the site. It is an awesome help! Check around and find the August thread if you want. You can then talk with others who had their surgeries around the same time as you. It is a big help when you are with others who are going through the same things! Congrats on the surgery. The pain goes away and you get better and better each day! Good luck to you.

Dont stress! We will all make mistakes and need to just move on! I am surprised you were even able to eat it all. I physically cant eat that much. Guess thats a good thing!
