Really?? And did you ever go back to eating more normally or drinking carbonated Beverages? I am absolutely fine so far with my new way of eating but the one thing I miss sooo much is a crisp cold seltzer water [emoji30][emoji30][emoji30]

Water water and more water. Or seltzer, diet soda, crystal light. Anything 0 calorie and hydrating to fill up your stomach in between shakes.

Thanks for the reply!! I hope so. Just really freaked out - today I feel like I did in each past diet right before it went out the window. Not in terms of cravings - just in terms of not being able to focus anything but the feeling of hunger. I’m not craving anything other than this stupid hunger to go away!!

How far out from surgery are you ? What do you eat to get your protein in? I’m still on liquids but definitely not meeting the protein goal - have only been getting in 35grams or so each day

Were you banded or bypassed? Congrats on almost being down to your goal!! That’s amazing

You drank 10oz of fluid at once? Part of what’s freaking me out is drinking liquids- I don’t chug water but I can easily take 3 or 4 good sized sips just within the past few days with only some grumbles in my stomach. If I can drink 4 oz of water at once and still be so hungry how is 4oz of food going to fill me up for very long ?

I saw you mention the Walden farms dressing on a few posts and going to put in an order from amazon. Can you recommend any flavors? (Or any I should stay away from)? Thanks!

Hi new friends ! I’m one week and one day post RNY and have to order a bridesmaids dress for a wedding I’m in end of September. I need to order the dress now and have no idea what size to get so hoping to get thoughts from people post op how quickly they shed size? My stats - I’m just under 5’10” and pre surgery wore around a 22/24. My start weight before the preop diet was 335, 319 or so at surgery and per the scale just now, 304. (Anxious for those 4 in the 3’s needless to say!) Does anyone have any recommendations of what sizes I should order? I can tailor something to make it smaller but am terrified of not fitting into the dress!! How mortifying !

So cute!!! Will definitely suggest. I got a 16 as the 18 was no longer available ... hope it works!!

Haha yes thank god for spanks!! I have a larger tummy and big boobs but a pretty small high waist? Right under my boobs I guess. I ordered a 16 and some extra fabric in case... hopefully that’s going to work ahhh!!!

Shoot good question. I had RNY on April 3rd and have a trip to Vegas at the end of May (half work half play) and then a work trip to India at the beginning of July. That’s 7 weeks out for Vegas and just over 4 months for India so I think I’ll be okay?

Here is the dress (hoping the picture comes through!) - pretty loose fitting, A line, no boneing and made of chiffon.

I drank isogenix shakes. They have pretty good flavors and are kind of a marshmellowy consistency once mixed up so are really filling. I didn’t tell anyone at work about my surgery (other than my boss) and as isogenix is a very well known diet, I had the perfect cover!

Thanks [emoji4][emoji4]

Interested to hear what the doctor had to say about various lengths - pros cons and what not. My doctor bypasses 200cm but I didn’t know this until after the surgery. It seems to be on the higher end of what’s normal.

Thanks everyone for the replies! I ended up going to see my PA and it is a sort of fungal rash...gross! She prescribed a topical steroid/anti fungal cream so hopefully that helps soon
