As long as I can find a babysitter I will be there!

I feel ya! I had a stall for two weeks... Finally down to 180 !!! Can't wait to hit 160 !

Yeah. I think everyone that goes there sees Alex

Cali.,, I'm with you on the sushi and margaritas!!!! I also miss fresh French bread and biscuits and gravy!!! I just smell everything I can't eat!!

Steamed shrimp with old bay and steamed broccoli. Hubby is also having new potatoes with herbs and butter (wish I could )

Yeah i kow the feeling... i will be 8 weeks post op on Wed and have only lost 31 lbs. My nut keeps reassuring me that im doing great, but when you see others who loose that much each month it gets discouraging regardless of how people say your doing or if they say because you have less than 100 lbs. to loose expect to loose slower.. I just don't want to hear it sometimes i just want my body to cooperate!!!!

That's sad cause I had a great experience with the staff... But I hope all goes well with u at Chesapeake. Thanks for asking how I'm doing.. I have lost 31lbs. so far... Wed. will be 8 weeks post op and I keep feeling like I should have lost more by now but they keep telling me I'm doing great and everyone loosing differently, blah blah blah!!! I do go to the support groups, every 1st Tuesday of the month, so this Tuesday I will be there!

So I am almost 7 weeks post op and for the last 3-4 days I have felt soo sick. It starts in the morning and its hard to eat or drink because I feel like I'm going to throw up. I have not actually thrown up but I feel on the verge of doing it almost all day long. I never felt sick at all after surgery except 2 times I dumped... Anyone have a clue what's going on??!

My heart hurts for you : ( I'm soo sorry they keep denying you.. I had that happen about 9 years ago and now I finally got it, so don't give up hope for what you want!! Take care !

So I am 7 weeks post op and about 5 days ago I finally started loosing weight again. I think I'm a slow looser to begin with because I have only lost about 30lbs. Since surgery... With that said I have notices some loose skin in my arms, waist and thighs!!! So my wonderful husband said I need to weight train to build the muscle and tighten up... I have been working out for the past few days and low and behold I'm back to a stall after only loosing 4lb...... Is it from weight training??? I'm not getting all my water in at times but I usually get around 50 oz. a day and all my protein.

Yeah I hope so! He is such a big support for me and has even tried my protein shakes and yucky vitamins!!! I was just soo worried about strength training because of course I don't want to gain more weight !!!

Thanks BB... I started out at 211 post op and am now down to 181, my Dr. said 120-130 is my goal weight so I only have 80-90lbs. to loose... I will never be able to afford plastic surgery so I was trying to do all I can to get some snap back... Just hope hubby doesn't kill me in the gym I'm the mean time ( I'm soo sore) !!! I am 33 btw!!!

I don't know what hctz is but I am 7 weeks post op today and I still have to take diuretics. I take diamox 500mg and 20mg of lasix. It has not affected me after surgery in any way.

I can't have fruit until 12 months after surgery

A friend of mine who also had RNY felt starved the first week and a half then she said it went away... Try to wait it out and see if it goes away. Good luck!

Hey babygirl, I am drinking between 50-60 oz a day but I believe it's my Bariatric advantage multi vitamins... When I don't take them I'm fine but when I do I feel sick for hours... Then it's time to take them again and sick for hours!!! I am taking flinstones complete for now. The only thing about those is they don't have selenium which I was supposed to have in my multi., so until I can get in touch with the nut I'm going to take them anyway!

God I hope not!! I had a period 7 days ago and it lasted 3 days. So I assume I'm not. Plus I only had sex 2 times last cycle and we used condoms.

I have posted this response before but will again. I sometimes will dump from drinking too fast. I was like you and feeling very sick drinking my protein shakes and my dr. Told me I needed to slow down, that it should take anywhere from 45 min to 1 hr to drink 6 oz of liquid. Good luck and see if slowing it down helps!

Erika, it could have just been the drinking too fast that made you dump and not the milk. I know they want us drinking fat free, but 1% isn't that far from fat free... I know every single time I drink too fast or eat jello too fast I dump every time ! Good luck and see if you drink it slower if you dump or don't. I'm betting its from drinking too fast. My Dr. told me it should take me at least 45 min to drink 6 oz. and if not I'm drinking way too fast, and I'm 6 weeks post op.

Finally was able to fit into a dress my husband bout me when we were dating 6 1/2 years ago that never ever fit me!!! It's a regular petite size 14.... Not plus size !!!!! And for the first time in 10 years I can see my girl parts just standing in the mirror.... I forgot that was even there, LOL !!!

So I am now 2 weeks post op and have only lost 13 lbs. I have not lost any weight since Monday which is 4 days... An I having a stall already? I know I haven't been feeling in enough fluids since I started the puréed stage. Lucky if I can get 30 oz in and 2 protein shakes! Any advice from those who have been there ???

If they do have bread crumbs and have high carbs try making the ones I posted the recipe for. It takes a whole 5 min or less to prepare and about 7 min cooking!

Carbs are 1.4g per cake. So if you halve the recipe it would be half the carbs...less than 1g carbs!

Crab Cakes - Low carb, with no crumbs! Submitted by: JPTOWNSEND Introduction A pure, just crab, cake, held together with just a bit of egg and mayo Minutes to Prepare: 5 Minutes to Cook: 7 Number of Servings: 8 Ingredients : Crab meat-canned -16 oz 1 large fresh egg Worcestershire Sauce, Lea & Perrins, 2 tsp Tabasco Sauce, 1 tsp Lime Juice, 1 Tbsp Pepper, red or cayenne, 1/4 tsp Tarragon, 1 tsp Mayo, Smart Balance Omega 3, light, 3 Tbsp Directions Mix egg, mayo and seasonings together. Gently stir in crab. Spray a foil covered cookie sheet with non stick spray, Scoop out 1/4 cup of the mix and dollop onto the cookie sheet. Broil for 7 minutes until browned on the high spots and egg has set. Number of Servings: 8 For those who are not eating very much you can do what I do and halve the recipe. I also use lump crab instead of claw meat.. Taste better!! I put some old bay in for extra kick and measure out the wet mixture in a 1 oz medicine cup so I have the perfect size crab cake with no measuring needed after baking! I make a cocktail sauce to go with it using horseradish and low sugar ketchup that only has 1g sugar.. I believe the crab cakes may have about 2g carbs. The recipe can also be found on sparkpeople.com
