Just wondering...`

I had my RNY on February 13th and was wondering if anyone else had this done on or about that date? How are you doing? So far so good for me - this week I am experiencing head hunger! I have not had anything disagree with me, not sure if that is good or bad. I lost 13 lbs since the surgery and a total of 42 since starting the Medifast January 5th. I have found that Ricotta cheese is my new best friend as is cottage cheese. Also I have not eaten egg salad in years and had it today and it tasted fabulous! Looking forward to your replies!

I am only 4 days out and having head hunger. I think I just miss the taste and texture of foods. Being on clear liquids this first week is kinda limiting. Can't fault a girl for fantasizing...even if it's about food. I get past it and know that with time I can start adding yummy foods back into my diet. Good luck! Sandi

Hello Michelle, I had my surgery done on the 13th also. I have been experiencing head hunger from the day I got home. I say it was some kind of withdrawel from the meridia that I was taking to curb my appetite. After reading your post maybe not. I eat cream of wheat and yesterday I changed from non fat to 1% and started to experience a little clammy feeling. Probably small umping. Being the kind of guy I am i did it again just to see if it really has the same effect and it does. Of course I hate to toss out the milk because here in hawaii it's $9 a gallon. I did optifast for 2 weeks before surgery. So far I am down about 45 lbs. We must be on track. I asked my surgeon about the hunger and how I eat SF popsicles to satisfy. He is fine with that as the popsicles contribute to my water intake and they are only 10-15 calories per. I went back to work on my 3rd day post op. I run a transportation company. I am now back into ful swing driving and all. I also had my Gall Bladder taken out and had a bellybutton hernia removed all on the same day I feel good and I might add I look good too. I hope we can stay in contact. It will be interesting to see how we both progress. Aloha

Hello and thank you for repsonding, each day is a little easier. I am sorry about the milk and that price - ouch!!! I use skim and had cream of wheat this morning. You have lost more post op than I have, however everyone loses differently I guess. According to the scales I have lost almost 16 so thats not bad in two weeks woohoo. Looking forward to talking further - added you to my friend list. Michelle...
