He is back to 1 0z of clear liquid every 15 Mins. He says I am not hungry and pushing the fluids down is hard he says.Boy does this bring back memories.
Lisa,
My daughter also had the Rny a few months after mine. I also was not able to be with her (out of state & working) and I know how hard that is. She did just fine too and I'm sooo proud of her progress.
Going through the rollercoaster with them is actually harder (I think) than dealing with them yourself.
He's gonna be fine, especially having the benefit of your support, experience & advice.

My daughter has lost about 150 pounds after 14 months! I'm so proud of her and happy for her. SHE'S the reason I became involved in WLS and finally got mine.
YEARS ago my mother went to an eye Dr in Bellflower, and on the same floor as her doctor, there was a Bariatric doctors office. They had brochere's outside their office & I used to pick up the info and read it in my moms office. Go**** sounded good but seemed to me to be such a DRASTIC decision. Some time later my daughter became seriously interested in WLS. I tried my best to talk her out of it saying WE could do this ourselves. We did,,many times. Only to quit & gain it back,,and more. I began investigating WLS, still intending to talk her out of it. I finally became convinced this was my only chance. And hers.
Your son is doing GREAT!! 13 pounds!! Wowww! He's gonna be sooo happy and I know how proud you are of him.
Keep us updated on his progress!

I know w/o weight loss surgery I would never be where I am today, I know I have a true metabolic disorder and weigh****ches would never work because 1200 calories was Alot of calories for me and I would follow weigh****chers diet and I would just gain, I finally hit my metabolic shift in june where I could eat more calories and not gain, I have read alot about metabolic shift and true morbid obese people have the disease but so little is written or understood about the disorder, I had dietician that knew the disorder very well and showed me it was not me really failing it was my body working to efficent to prevent fammine, I guess the up side of having this we could be in world fammine and I would survive Where is my naturally skinny counter family friends would die off. I know how to efficently store food in my body.
I have skinny sisters and thin mom and skinny dad and all were so tiny short and petite and there came me the be BIG bouncing baby of family. My brother is heavy but not as heavy as I was but I am taller than everyone , I kinda felt like the freck of nature. I mean my sister have rail thin kids and mine are heavy, I use to think I was switched at birth because why was I so huge compared to my family?Anyone ever felt this? I am finally arrived to where destination where I am almost at goal I know most RNY met this about a year ago but it is my season dealing with issues of excepting my new body, I guess I am the late bloomer of the A team LOL.
But today I am thinner then the rest of my sisters a victory for me I got to so tired of everywhere telling me how to lose weight. I was the butt of the fat jokes, I was told they would pay me 1000 dollars if i lost weight hmmmmmmmm I should collect that from my sister LOL Wonder if she remembers saying that?
I have so much pain associated with obesity and I know I am not alone the guilt the shame the embaressment, I have to deal with that and have to really truely connect to my body and I am having such a hard time doing that, I still feel like I am 295 lbs I am so not connected to my body, I kinda feel like what a annorexic feels like I suppose I look in the mirror and I see this huge morbid obese woman looking back at me. I keep hoping I will see the new woman I have become and finally embrace the new thin me, Pam we all took that leap and you are so right this was the only chance we had to lose weight was WLS.
