Hi Junernys. There has to be a few people here who had RNY in June. I wanted to have a thread where we could all check in. How are you all doing? My weight loss has slowed to a crawl. I need to go back to two shakes a day. I don't get enough protein. I am also exhausted when I get home from work. I can't wait for the high energy to come.

Complication? It's not working, there's a complication
paradise replied to TheBearguy8's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Please keep the post up. I had surgery on June 27. I have no problem getting all my fluids in. I was starting to think it was a problem that I wasn't experiencing what others were posting. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using BariatricPal mobile app -
June 27th sleever...nervous!
paradise replied to donnaminors's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had Gastric Bypass on June 27 I drink 1 oz of water every 15 min. I've added in 1 oz shots of protein shakes. I had 1 oz of Cream of Wheat and 1 oz Sugar Free Pudding for breakfast . My pain is minimal and mostly caused by gas. I walked 1500 steps this morning and another 1500 before lunch. I am wondering why I am not experiencing the same things everyone else. I'm not complaining. It just worries me that maybe my surgery didn't work. Is their anyone else having little to no issues with fluids going down?

Anyone sleeve the week of 6/25?
paradise replied to Randy-J's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had Gastric Bypass on June 27. I don't have any problems getting fluids down. My Dr has me drink one oz of water every fifteen minutes. I look forward to the 1oz of cream of wheat and pudding. I don't think I get hungry it's probably head hunger. I am adding more 1 oz protein shake shots today. My pain is mostly from gas. I hope my surgery worked. It's weird that I am not experiencing what everyone else is. Is anyone else getting their fluids down no problem? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using BariatricPal mobile app -

Increasing Calories to change set point
paradise replied to Momcat's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was fascinated with Dr Matthew weiner videos. That is the first time I've heard a doctor talk about a set point. Although... I've always thought my body had one. I've seen it change over the years. I can see when I started a new med it changed etc. Anyways I have his book and am going to try to implement some of the changes he suggests. He says that our set point resets as soon as we have surgery. I am looking forward to that. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using BariatricPal mobile app -
I am on month 4 of 6, but technically it is 7 months as my insurance requires 180 days. The time has gone by so fast. I've lost weight and joined a gym. I am trying to get stronger so when it's time for surgery I will be ready. Also the more weight I lose now, the less I will have to lose after surgery.

You should be fine with having your primary care doctor submitting the photographs. Make sure they are dated! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

How many surgeons/hospitals did you visit before deciding?
paradise replied to Little Green's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I called three and visited one. My decision was financial. I have a 50% copay. All three were a center of excellence and all three had great doctors. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App -

New and Nervous!
paradise replied to healthyandhappymama201's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm still in the 6 month supervised weight loss phase with my PCP. I just wanted to say welcome. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App -
I am currently half way through my insurance required weight loss trial. I've lost 23 pounds. My goal is to lose another 33 lbs. My primary care doctor has me on a low carb diet. I drink a premier Protein shake and eat a fruit for breakfast, a protein and veges for lunch, and a protein and veges for dinner. I snack on seeds. I drink a lot of Water and have a glass of tea each day. Talk to your doctor or nut and see if low carb will work for you. You can do it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

What type of therapist should I be looking for to treat food addiction? Psychiatrist, LMHC? Do those who treat eating disorders also treat obesity? Would you please share your experience with food addiction counseling? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

I'm currently in the 180 day weight loss trial phase with my insurance company. I will finish at the end of April. I will find out on Feb 1 if I need an Endometrial ablation or a Hysterectomy. Did anyone have these done before surgery? Would my bypass be delayed? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App
