Hi Linda
I had my surgery March 4th here in Australia. I have lost about 44lbs and consider myself a slow loser, I started out at 300lbs. I had an open RNY but I have also had a VBG 2 years ago. My stomach is not as restricted as most so I still have to watch portion sizes. In Australia the surgeons do not seem to be as strict about high protein as they seem to be in the US.
Hope to hear from you. Keep up the good work

Topic: RE: Constipation
Believe it or not, every morning, when i take my multivitamin and my B12, I drink 3 oz of Slimfast. It's not enough to make me sick, but it's enough to keep me regular. Every morning about 45 minutes after I have finished my 3oz of Slimfast I have to go. So right now i'm very regular. I have also tried apple juice, sometime I have to add water to it cause it tastes very sweet to me also, but I couldn't stomach the prune juice at all...

I know it can be discouraging ~ I constantly feel like I should have lost more by now. It's really hard not to compare. But congrats on losing 52 !!!!! That in itself is awesome. Keep up the GREAT work and remember that's 52 pounds that is gone FOREVER !!!!!!!

Hi Sarah. I'm a very slow loser also and so far have only lost 45lbs, but I'm now starting to lose and the key for me was that I am now exercising 5-6 days a week and drinks lots and lots of water. We will both eventually reach our goals but we must stay focus and know that this surgery is just a tool. Many Blessings. - Marilyn, Lexington, KY

Hi all:
I had my surgery on the 5th of March and as of today I am down 52lbs. I wi**** were more. I am reading how people have lost 70 and 80+ lbs. I am doing everything I am suppose to do. I started at 301 and now weigh 249. I thought I would be thinner by now. I am only 5 feet tall. My pants and shirts are running loose but I still have a large stomach.....what do you all think. You can E-mail me at home at [email protected]
Thanks a bunch
Sarah

Catherine, I had the same problem. I followed up with my doc who said that I was dehydrated and that is what has caused the constipation. She suggested milk of magnesia, I tried it and today I am no longer constipated.
