My surgery was on 3/4 so I am three months out.  Lost 14# before surgery and so far 38# since surgery.  After week one, I have lost at a pretty steady pace of 2# per week--lightweight with co-morbidities.  Last week I lost 4# and so far this week have not lost a thing.  Not sure if this is a stall or my body is just averaging out the big loss last week..  Went from snug size 14 to size 10 so far.  Not at a healthy BMI nor at goal--very short--only 4'10"".  I am off blood pressure, diabetic and cholesterol meds.  Blood sugars are out of the diabetic range --would like to see them lower--and blood pressure is in normal range.  No labs yet so not sure about cholesterol.

I am still on two protein shakes per day.  Pouch not tolerating real dense meats.  Have just been able to add chicken salad.  Eat a lot of tuna salad and baked fish, occaisional gr beef and refried beans or chili.  I am eating about 1/4 c protein and 1/4 c fruit at each meal.  Occaisionally add vegetables.  Pretty much sticking with program as I have a healthy fear of failure and definitely dont want to find out what dumping feels like.

Doing OK on fluids.  Was only able to get about 42 oz in including shakes but have increased this week to about 52oz. 

Trying to get in ten 1/2hr sessions of exercise per week.  In morning  walking treadmill while doing arm exercises with 6#  weights for about 15 minutes, then increase the speed for another ten minutes.  then increase and run five minutes, then gradually slow back down for about 7 minutes.

My jazzercise class I was going to in the evening just relocated further away so I just added evening treadmill session two days ago.  Alternate walking and running 5 minutes for 25 minutes.  This is pretty grueling so plan to set up some kind of reward each week if I follow through.  Don't want it to be so tough I won't do it so will switch back to Jazzercise class if I find I'm not keeping it up.  Trying to find a routine I will follow through with.

That pretty much covers it.  I enjoy reading the posts on this site.  Feel they are very helpful

You might try a more dense protein like steak if you can tolerate.   I feel like it sits heavier in my stomach and I feel fuller longer.  Also, I find if I continue drinking fluids through the day I dont get as hungry.  I am still drinking two protein shakes a day and those also tend to make me feel full.  Just some things you might try.

My RNY was on March 23rd. I am doing very well and am super pleased with my 58 lbs loss. I haven't really had any problems to speak of. I have had a couple of dumping episodes due to sugar. As uncomfortable as it is, I am really glad that I dump. I think I would be in a world of trouble if I could eat sugar without any consequences! I am in a loose 18 down from a snug 22/24. I'm feeling so much better and have more energy. I went to a movie last night and just sat right down in the seat. My hips didn't scrape the sides or anything. It took me a minute to realize that I didn't have to wiggle my butt into the seat. Yay!

 My question is -

Does anyone eat anything with corn in it after VSG?  I love fresh corn and really miss that.  I have not tried it but almost tried some corn chowder the other day.  It is a real thick soup but must of the corn is pureed.  I didn't do it b/c it seems like I have hear before NO CORN.  I just wonder is that FOREVER?  Any advice would be much appreciated.  

I am the queen of stalls.  I had surgery on 3/18/09 and lost 20 lbs right away.  Since then a grand total of about 10 lbs.  Many stalls.  So, I am just weighing once a week now.  Trying to think of other things besides the scale, like clothes fitting so much better.  Don't worry - it will come off.  :o)
