Still having pain in my left side. Not unbearable but sharp depending on my movements.

Highest weight was 330 Diet got be down to 290 Day of Surgery:279 Current weight: 264 (as of Tuesday last week)

I'm doing horrible on protein as well. They seem to dry my mouth out.

I definitely still don't feel normal but I was going crazy sitting at home! I think I'll do some half days this week and full days next week.

Be careful with the shots. I've been told that they're not the right kind of protein. We need whey isolate protein and I believe the shots are whey concentrate. So just make sure they're most effective for you! Let me know how they work out!!

I just returned to after 10 business days off. I took a half day today. But besides being a little tired I'm okay! I also have a desk job.

Amanda, No I didn't purée the canned chicken. My NUT said that because it's moist it should go down fine. I also asked her if I could do like a chicken salad and she said that was fine as long as I used fat free mayo which I did. By the way I was constipated so I went and got Dulcolax like my manual instructed me to. Took one and nothing. Then 7 hours later I took two more and today I'm just living in the bathroom. Oh did I mention it's my first day back at work. Holy shit. ????.

I'm also full after a bite maybe two. I'm on purée's and I couldn't believe I are 1/8 of canned chicken yesterday. So maybe the swellings going down? I'm over the Protein and Vitamins already but I know what I got to do to be healthy.

I hope I look like that 11 months out. So far away though LOL. I'm two weeks out.

One of my pleasures is vinegar and cucumbers with salt and pepper. I use to snack on that. Will I ever have that again or should I not ever count on tasting it?

Man I can't wait for soft foods now! Thanks guys!

Good luck, I'll be thinking of you! Make sure you update us when you feel up to it!!!

I'm trucking along. I had surgery on the 16th of September and I'm going back to work Monday. I can't wait, I'm so bored. I'm just at the puréed food stage and my NUT said scrambled eggs were okay so I'm excited to taste an egg. I'm down 26 pounds if you count the pre-op diet.

My BM aware formed last time I had one

I don't have one until November or December about body image I believe or life after surgery

I have a question about BM, how often should we be having them. Before RNY I was pretty regular. Now I don't know what constitutes at not regular or constipated. I've never been constipated.

That's awesome Dreams! Sounds like you're coming along nicely!

Gosh I cannot wait! I could live off of those. About how much could you eat? I don't want to buy too many

I was just thinking about her today! I hope she's okay!

I was told to stay in the single digits!

Gorgeous!

You can definitely see the difference! Keep it up! You'll be at 175 in no time!

I wanna lose 114 more pounds!
