I have someone at work like that as well, sad thing she is my boss. I held off until the last minute to tell her about the surgery.

I have started a blog all of my own for this journey. Please follow me at www.digitalsheep.org.

Topic: Hiccups?

First day home from the hospital and it seems that each time I take a drink of water I start hiccupping. Am I drinking too quickly?

I'm in the same thought as Kitycat... RNY for me with no issues so far !

Hope you feel better soon... and get some answers off the DS board.

Topic: RE: Warning: Whining

Sorry you had to go through that.. sounds like a total lack of understanding, empathy, common sense and research on her part. There are some people at my work the same, they want to be in the loop and were stunned when I announced in a meeting on Monday that I would be off for the next few weeks having gastric bypass.

Too bad, so sad, these are OUR lives to live, to make decisions, to do what is best for us !!

She's an idiot - steer clear, smile at continue to drop those pounds !!

So sorry you had problems. We will be here when you are ready to post more. I had RNY so much different...Maybe someone with experience (DS) can be more supportive.

Topic: RE: Warning: Whining

Good person to avoid in you journey. You do not need anyone in your life with those kinda vibes. And if we could all have a person trainer, chef and babysitter 24 hours a day, like those on biggest loser, we would probably do as well as the people on biggest loser. And there have been many reports of those people "being on their own" after and gaining it all right back.

The point is, its not hers to judge. Stick to your guns and give her a never mind next time she passes your way. And always feel free to come here and let it out. We will always be on your side. Kathy

Hope you don't have to work with her, or run into her often.

Topic: RE: post -op day 3

Good for you girl!! I'm glad to hear you are feeling ok. It's rough the first few days, things seem to change on a daily basis too. I had a lot of trouble getting used to sipping. I was a large drinker...huge glasses of iced tea and lots of diet soda. That had to chage ...lol. And I dunno if you have it yet, but I make this gurggling sound when ever I drink now. Espeially if I drink too fast!! And it backs up in my chest..or at least thats where I feel the pain. But, day by day , week by week and month by month it changes constantly!! The best thing is, you will loose ALOT of weight while going through it. Seeing the scale keep going down and your clothes get baggier and baggier is a wonderfull pay off!!! I hope you keep feeling well and that you are as happy with your surgery choice as I am!! Take care of You!!! Donna
