hello, i read you comment.  I have had multiple problems since my 2-9-09 rny. and have been very nautious and cant even force myself to eat food.  what is a stricture and the process they used to fix it?? i am not familiar with that. 

It has been such a quick two months.  I hardly ever get a chance to be on the boards at night.  I have been too busy.  That is a good and a bad thing. 

Today is two months since surgery for me.  My health is so much better already.  I am off my blood pressure meds.  Also, today I don't have the Monday surgery hangover from Easter.  That is a first.  So much has changed. 

*Food is not my daily enemy
*I don't bite my nails anymore 
*I can wear a belt
*I don't overheat at work and use my fan
*I don't sweat while I blow dry my hair
*I get cold and wear jackets
*I can go upstairs without breathing hard
*I am going to the YMCA three times a week, a weight class & step aerobics
*I can cross my legs
*My feet are smaller

Since surgery I have lost 43.6.  Since my highest, I have lost 58.60.

WOW!!

Typical day menu for me would look something like this.......

B - 2 soda crackers with pb2 and 1/4 hardboiled egg
L - 1/2 cup tuna salad or 1/4 cup with a baby bell cheese or 1/4 cup mixed nuts
snack - 90 calorie package bbq Crispy Minis (I find if I stick to bbq and peanut butter, I'm fine but if I have any of the sweet ones, I really crave another package)
D - 1/4 cup protein (chicken, cheese, turkey, etc) 1/4 cup veggies
snack - no sugar added popsicle

I got mine several weeks ago.
