Awesome!!

Hi! I have been battling kidney issues since January. Of course I have friends and family that right away blame my RNY. After much testing, many procedures, and surgery found out it wasn't a stone but a birth defect that was previously undiagnosed. My urologist said this he see allot of people with kidney stones after surgery. He thinks it's lack of Water. Even though I didn't have a stone, when they removed one of the stent it had allot of crystallization. I thought I was getting plenty of water so I need to remain vigilant with that. It's been the worse 4 months for me. I need to get back on track with my habits. I can barely eat and I am sick all the time I eat whatever I think I can hold down. So I am definitely not getting enough Protein. Thanks for listening!!

Hi! Things are going well. I still get nervous that I will slip into old habits. Since no diet was ever successful I worry. I have been feeling hungrier lately. I am down 88 from surgery, 115 since the start of my journey 3/22/2013. Clothes are strange...I fit into different sizes. I have pants that are 12 and some 14. My shirts are still big xl. Measurement wise I haven't lost anything into chest so that could be why!

Congrats!! I have been having kidney issues and finding myself returning to old habits. I am down 112 from my highest weight 85 since surgery. I need to get myself healthy so I can start working out again. And get my head together because I don't want to waste this gift!

I haven't changed in two weeks. Still at 194. I have been sick with kidney issues and barely eating so I can't believe I have lost. But I haven't been logging so I need to get back on track. HW: 301 SW: 274 (8/6/2013) CW: 194

Congrats!! Keep us updated.

I think you are doing great! I feel like my loss has slowed allot. I always worry this is going to be as far as I can go. I have been sick the last month with kidney issues so I haven't worked out. Today I weighed myself and it's says I am up a pound from last Friday. I don't get it!!

Are you feeling better?

I was having pain on the left. Two trips to the ER and a hospital stay so far. I am having issue with my kidney. They don't see stones but they don't know if it passed and caused an infection

When I started my journey in March I was 301. The day of surgery 8/6 I was 274. As of last Friday I was 194.

Hi!! Anyone hear of kidney issues after surgery?? I was in the hospital for a few days. They never saw a stone but we're treating me as if it passed. They sent me home on heavy antibiotic and I got a follow ultrasound. I still have a blockage but they don't see a stone. They compare it to am ultrasound I had in May as part of my surgery pre testing. It was normal then. Now I am scheduled for a scope next Monday.

Thanks!!

HW: 301 SW: 274. 8/6/13 CW: 199 Finally out of the 2s!!!

That's the same for me. I keep worrying I stretched my pouch already.

Anyone else feeling hungry?? I have been really hungry lately.

Great news!!! Congrats!!! Keep us posted!

Highest weight - 301 Surgery date -August 6, 2013 Surgery weight -274 Current weight -203 Down 98 total. 4 for the week. It was slow for a few weeks now it seems to be catching up.

Almost 5 months in and I feel like I am failing. Since thanksgiving I haven't been getting my protein in, forgetting my vitamins, eating like crap and not working out. I was so serious about changing my life and lion what I am doing. Wasting this precious gift I was given. Why am I doing this!!??

You look awesome!!

Weighed myself today....up 2. I am allowing myself the next 10 minutes to feel sorry for myself and then I need to out it behind me and keep working and get back to the rules.

Thanks guys! I feel better knowing that others struggle at times too. I really want this so today I was back on track. I want to stay on track!! Thanks for all your support!!

That's how I feel. I keep reminding myself I didn't come this far to give up. Today is a new day and I am starting over.

Awesome!! Congrats!!

Great job!!! It was my goal but I am still 6 pounds away.

Haven't seen any August post lately. How is everyone?? I still struggle with the protein. As of yesterday I am down 94 from my highest weight 67 since surgery. I had a goal of being down 100 by New Years but I don't think that will happen. Trying not to beat myself up over it. Looking forward to seeing some updates from you guys!
