April 2013 Post-Op Group

I have only thrown up one time in 10 weeks. But I really have felt sick to my stomach all day!

I hate that feeling

I add fat free mayo and mix it with a spoon

I just found out to add low fat Greek yogurt to my tuna! It tastes the same and gives you more protein!!

I'm two and a half weeks out and had lost almost 15 lbs. I weighed myself this morning and found that I've *gained* a pound. Has this happened to anybody else yet? I'm staying within my portion sizes and still on the stage 3 soft Protein diet.

Yes! I am 3 weeks and 4 days and I have stalked for the last week. Everyone tells me it's the dreaded 3-4 week stall. My support group said to watch what your doing and limit carbs and do exercise and you will start loosing again. I'm hoping their correct.

How's everyone's weight loss by going I'm 6 days away from my 2 months and down 42lbs was hoping I'd be down 50lbs but I don't think 8lbs in 6 days is gonna happen lol

My surgery was 4/29/13, and I am only down 18 lbs. The scale is just not moving. Went to bariatric support meeting tonight. Talked to nutritionist a bit. She said I am doing everything right, and to hang in there, the weight will eventually come off. She said because I had 5 surgeries that day of my RNY, I may still be healing. She also said by 8 weeks most patients typically lose 30-40 lbs. Well, I am 6.5 weeks out and still at 18 lbs. I feel discouraged but am trying to have a positive attitude.

Five surgeries at the same time? What all did you do? Be proud of yourself it will happen.

Well, I went in for RNY, but ended up with a hiatal hernia repair, umbilical hernia repair, gallbladder removal, and bowel resection (in addition to RNY). Whew!
