I had a particularly rough day... I have 3 coworkers who all had RNY (years ago). They're all baffled that my surgeon put me on soft foods after my 2nd week. It's like they think I'm resorting back to my old habits. One of them actually said to me today (while she was piling down a brownie) that I need to STOP eating and go back on liquids for a few weeks. I was like "what?? Why??" Her answer was because I will get sick and her surgeon had her on liquids for a month. #1. It has been almost a month and not one thing has made me sick (I'm very careful with food and chew well). #2. I'm following MY surgeons orders-- NOT hers!! Gahhhh!!! Why do people feel like they NEED to give you their opinion. I'm so over it! My other coworker(that INSISTS she lost 70lbs her first month--- so not true!) has been telling people she doesn't understand why I'm not losing that fast! I've lost 30 pounds in THREE weeks! That's a lot of weight!

Thank you! Thankfully, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I got a promotion so I will not be working with these ladies in 2 weeks. :) I told my fiancé that even if my new coworkers start to suspect, they're not getting any info about my surgery. Haha I don't care.

Why is it that rny brings out the worst in women... Some women whom I thought of as really close friends have totally quit talking to me. Then someone I barely knew and hadn't seen since about 190 more lbs ago.. Lol.. Came up hugged me and started crying because she was so happy for my success. This process is hard enough... Really don't need judgement or negativity from others on top of it. Keep doing what you are doing... I think you are doing fabulously!!

I've not lost any friends but I've had some dynamics change for sure. People either adapt with u I suppose or move along. It's hard when all of a sudden you start changing and if they are not accepting of the changes u naturally experience afterwards they will not be secure enough to stay. I wanted this to improve myself and real friends want u to do it and grow with u.

These kind of people are exactly why I chose not tell anyone about my surgery but my husband and daughters. People are so jealous and nosy and just can't be happy when others do something for themselves! Keep your heads up and keep up the good work!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.

        I'm so sorry. I lost my pup (Mr. Bitters - a chocolate Pomeranian) 2 years ago and it still makes me tear up. He was my everything - my constant companion. I understand. Do the best you can to get back on track.
