DISCOURAGED???? Girl you are rockin this RNY thing like a champ. Be patient it will move. Don't Get freaked out, i agree with you fiancee you may need to back off the recording thing for a week. It may be stress that causing the stall. Let us know how you progress RJ

Best. Of luck with the surgery . Just be prepared mentally for what's coming. The physical aspect of the journey is easier than the mental reconditioning of a life time of learned bad habits...in my humble opinion. STAY FOCUSED ON THE PRIZE ....it is so worth it. Your life completely changes for the positive if you truly are committed to being successful. If you ever need us we are just a post away :-) The liquid diet is not for the faint of heart. Just don't cheat and you will get past it. Anyone can do anything necessary for two quick weeks when the reward is SO GREAT.. Have a great day! RJ

Happy Birthday. SLIM! :-)

Tonight i may have experienced true bliss :-) Found a Salad tonight from Trader Joes that i could eat with no" issues " kale with edamame, cherries, sliced almonds, scalions, cherry tomatos and a very light and tasty creamy pepper vinigrette...... yum 16 grams of Protein to boot !!!

YEA !!!!!! you look amazing congratulations.

Hey Now, I wish to thank all of the members of my June RNY Family for the support. you all are awesome and very special individuals. I never forget that you are part of my support team and we all share in each others success. I think of all of your comments and posts when I am struggling to get up that last hill or when im head hungry at 11 PM. ALL of your posts have helped me now and will get me to my goal. Have a great week RJ

So i got very brave today and purchased a digital bathroom scale to help me better measure my progress and keep me focused . I promised myself a week or bi-weekly weigh in so i don't drive myself into a obsessive compulsive tailspin. Fortunately for me i threw caution to the wind and hopped on the scale (Please note this has been my mortal enemy for decades) and to my surprise i am down another 18 lbs! Yipee . This puts me ahead of my goal to be in the 200"s for Thanksgiving. As of today's glorious date i am down a total of 145 lbs since i started this program 1 year ago At this rate i should be ( God willing and the Creek don't rise ) at my goal weight of 180 Lbs by May of 2014. Thanks you God for letting me find Dr.Richard Ing and the entire team at The Bryn Mawr Hospitals Bariactric center. . Hope everyone is have a Beautiful Sunday. RJ

Excellent news and congratulatioND on getting so much acomplished in 4 months you look fantastic. RJ

Outstanding.. congratulations!

Dec 2nd come so quickly!!!! take this time to change you eating habits and get into your " zone"you need to be mentally prepared for whats about to start. While not going to excess you may want to get together a bucket list of foods you may never be able to eat again if you are having the RNY. dont go crazy with the portions but this also let you say goodbye to the old you and your favorites..... the only one i forgot was Birthday cake...... If i can answer any question i will try to help. Have a great day RJ

CJ S Journey. I am sorry to hear about your loss. You are correct this is the best gift you will ever give yourself. This site is has an excellent support group around the country. if you cant sleep and want to get something off your chest or need advice there is almost always someone on line and willing to help. Best luck on your surgery and your journey. my only advice is eat wisely,healthy, hydrate,exercise, and dont weight yourself every day youll drive yourself crazy. RJ

Im by no means vain, but has anyone else noticed that since the RNY a drastic increase in grey hair? for 5 years prior to surgey i have had a small wisp of grey hair in the front of my hairline and it was kinda cool looking. Today i seriously noticed it looks like i painted a grey room with out a hat. Anyone else experiencing this? RJ

you look amazing way to go!!!!! truly inspiring :-)

My doc surg took me off cewables after 6 weeks. i take a cvs brand with the req amount of Mgs .......chevk with yoir Doc surg if you can bag the chewables...

Special Note: some of my posts have some serious spelling errors and i am aware of this fact, my defense is that I commute to work on a trolley line that is 100 years old ( seriously ) and its gets rocking & rolling :-) im sure you can figure out the rest

BRAVO!!! THIS IS SPOT ON ......

I think we may all be realizing on some level that this is for real and our minds are having a problem accepting it. in my cas only since i have faoled at all other attempts at major eeight loss my mind os waiting for me to fail. little does my mind know or realize this going to happen with or with out its coperation

Hey all you juners. i have a question. how are you dealing with your body image? I am in no way shape or form vain. but i have good days and bad days. what i mean is i may fit into some new cloths or have another little victory and ride the crest of that high for a few days.then fat bash crash my ego and im the fat guy all over again. I know im good on the nutrition and exercise. but it seems my curremt dilema is getting past the fat guy image that has been with me for so long. i know ican conquer this and i fully expected this to happen just looking for any tips or thoughts on this matter. Thanks RJ
