POST WEIGHT LOSS HERE PLEASE!!!!!

Hi All, This is my first post, I am trying to figure this site out. Bear with me! I had my RNY on May 7. I started at 327 and lost pre-op to 305. I currently am not losing as fast as I believe I should so I am frustrated. I am currently at 285 which is about 20 pounds post op. I have only experienced dumping once so far. I developed a rash as my surgical sites, it appears I am allergic to medical tape. Has anyone else had this issue?

I have lost 134 pounds since June 1, 2006 114 Preop and 20 since surgery on the 7th of May. I had RNY also.

Hi all, U.K. support sites do not exist - thank God I have found this one! I had RNY May 17th 2007 from 28th April to 3rd June total loss 31 pounds - seems a little slow. UK RNY suggests 4 weeks of fluid then 4 weeks soft food. Eating soup 2 -3 times daily is becoming intolerable. Also allowed nesquick milkshakes, milk, tea coffee etc. As long as its fluid. Have been missing chewing so much that I have been putting food in my mouth just to have a different taste and the chewing sensation - then spit it out. Nasty I know but I don't know how else to solve the problem. I am not hungry so I am not tempted to swallow. Taking chewable multivitamins and minerals and chewable calcium and vitamin d. current weight 353 pounds My first visit to the dietician is in about two weeks and then I see my surgeon about 6 weeks post -op. Reading all your posts is most encouraging thanks. Take care
