I kind of felt like I wasn't doing the best job but had a talk with my nutritionist and she felt like I was right on track so I will take it. Started phase III yesterday and I have to say I was really nervous about it (dr. cleared me to start a day early). I have yet to throw up since surgery and I really didn't know what to expect. My first two meals went ok - I measured out a 1/4 cup and started there. I couldn't really tell if I was full and I never feel hungry - ever. I figure I'll just eat what I'm supposed to - put myself on a schedule and go from there. I'm down 31.2 since I've started, 19.2 preop and then 12lbs since surgery (2 weeks today). I guess I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I will lose weight... none of it seems real to me at the moment but I have hope that things will continue to progress over the next few months. I will say that I'm grateful for this forum - I scoured it before surgery and again after as I was running into different issues over the past two weeks. It's been so helpful so thanks to everyone who has posted their experiences! J Congrats on the lbs lost i too am shocked to see the scale result when i stand on it 1 1 Zom B and riverwaters reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Napua 42 Posted September 11, 2020 I drink my 64oz with Propel Water that has 15g Protein, 0 cal, 0 sugar, 0 carb. Had surgery on 8/28/20, no discomfort, no pain. liquid intake finally hit the 64oz this week. It took time for me to reach this goal. My goal is decreasing my BMI to 20 or less. BM x1 per day thus far. I avoid any sugar or soda to avoid dumping. Got Propel water from Sam's club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bizbaileymiller 61 Posted September 13, 2020 July 17th was my RNY surgery! I’m down near 45lbs since starting my program last September. 20 for surgery, 25 after. I’m tolerating most foods with exception to Greek yogurt and Beans. I am aversive to Water and Protein Shakes in the AM. ☹️ but pushing through. I’ve had some mood swings and light Hair loss. I am feeling pretty awesome and my clothes are getting pretty big!!! My goal is 125, my start weight was 213 so I have just about 43lbs to go!!! I should mention I’m a shorty measuring in at 5’1”!! 1 Zom B reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SideOfSunny 20 Posted September 16, 2020 Yesterday makes 3 weeks out for me and I weighed in today at 28 pounds. I'm 3 pounds away from being back under 200 and I can't wait. 2 1 DwGirl, Zom B and riverwaters reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bizbaileymiller 61 Posted September 16, 2020 Awesome!! I did 20lbs prior and 25 since surgery! I just hit my 1/2 goal. I have a hard time getting things down in the mornings but am able to eat drink better after 11. I’m wearing “normal” size clothes for the first time in probably 8 years! 1 riverwaters reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdmcardle17 1 Posted September 17, 2020 August 18, here. Am down almost 40 lbs. Yay me. Lots of Fluid retention due to CHF. Hoping I will start losing again. I wind up vomiting a lot because I drink to soon, or eat too fast. So, going back to the WLS bible and getting it right.Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Zom B reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrogers 2 Posted September 21, 2020 Hi hi :) I had my RNY August 26th - down around 25 since surgery and 70 in total since HW. I finally feel like myself again - I can’t wait till I am clear to workout. No complaints, still getting the hang of eating. The biggest struggle I am finding is that I have no desire to eat but still will continue to eat what I am suppose to and get my Protein in. 1 Zom B reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
