Topic: RE: EATING MORE
First off congradulations on your weight loss... Way to go! I understand what you are feeling... I too can eat way more then I could, say about a month ago... I had my surgery 05/15/03 down 190 pounds... It depends on the day for me... Someday's I wake up and I am very hungry and could eat a lot that day... Other days I do not feel like eating at all... weird? But my portion size is diffinatly bigger now.. compared to like a cup full of what ever I was eating 6 months ago... I just keep track of what I am eating and how much of it... and I weigh myself every couple of days... to make sure I do not gain the weight back...! Never want to be large again!!!!! Ain't going to happen! Good luck and remember tomorrow is always another day...

Topic: ?? Partial Bowel Obstruction
Has anyone had a fast onset of abdominal pain/bloating/constipation onset? I had this recently which sent me to the emergency room. I was treated and released after getting a nice dose of morphine, a bag and half of IV fluid, xrays,blood work. The doctor never did come back in and see me, but the nurse who did the discharge stated the x-rays showed I was constipated with dehydration, and to follow up with my doctor. Sent me home with pain meds, and a laxative powder to mix up and drink.
I contacted my RNY surgeon in Charleston and he is having me go to my gastroenterologist locally for a CT scan to rule out partiale bowel obstruction.
I was wondering if anyone has had this type of pain or problem. Any advise, Ya'all??

Hi Gene
So far I am down 203 lbs from my starting weight of 367. I current weight 164 lbs.
The weight loss has slowed down big time the past couple of months, but I lost 5 lbs this past month so can't complain too much, and I am in serious need of reconstructive surgery!

Topic: RE: NO WEIGHT LOSS IN MONTH'S
I hadn't lost weight in a while either and decided to keep track of everything I ate and my exercise. For each meal I keep track of the calories, carbs, protein, water, and time. Exercise is counted in minutes. At the bottem of the page I have a running total. My process kinda reminds me of weighwatchers points as I am allowing myself so many calories, carbs, protein, and water each day and when that is up, I have to stop or in the case of water, can't stop until I have enough. What I noticed is that I was nibbling too often and having way too many carbs and not enough****er and protein. I thought I had been doing well but the proof is in the writing. I lost five pounds in the first five days and feel so much more energetic without having so many carbs. Maybe something like this could work for you.
