Congratulations on your lost I had surgery right after you and i am down by 101lbs thank God I cant see it like I wont but I feel it in my clothes and inches good luck and I pray you reach your goal and are happy with ur results!!!!Shemone

I'm with you. Open RNY on July 30. Started at 342.4. Now I'm somewhere in the neighborhood of 230 - 235. I don't weigh myself any more often than once a month. What I measure is my declining fasting blood sugars (average 101). Thinner is good. Whipping diabetes is great. Jay

wOW THAT'S GREAT, I HAD SURGERY JULY 3RD/4TH I'VE LOST 92 LBS AND I' M DOING GREAT.. I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH PASTA/MEATS ESPECIALLY GROUND BEEF, NOW GROUND PORK DOESN'T SEEM TO BOTHER ME GO FIGURE... I STILL EAT ALOT OF SOUPS. WHAT IS EVERYONE EATING? DOROTHY UPSTATE NY 211/119/?

I am very lucky, I think, I can just about eat anything. I have to watch the sugar content as I get a weird feeling if I have too much. I get dizzy and heart races for a few mins. Im guessing that is dumping although I do not get diarrhea but sometimes my stomach does hurt. I have no problems with breads or pastas but just limit them since they just take up more room that I could have with other foods. I am hungry often and will snack on whole wheat crackers and cheese or jerky. Some days I feel like I am eating all day long but I will look back and the small amounts I have don't come anywhere close to what I would eat before surgery.

I went to see my dr. yesterday he told me to start eating 3 meals a day, what food i consume doesn't amount to a full plate. I told him i eat alot of soups, he said they go thru u quickly, that's ok with me. I will have a few chips/dip i mean about 4 chips not very much compared to what we used to eat. All in all i'm doing wonderful, blood work came back ok. The only thing is dr's scales are alot higher than mine. oh well he wants to see me in 6 months. He also told me i will lose alot more weight. I told him i'm comfortable with this weight, he said i have no control over that. oh well. i will take what comes my way.. I've been drinking alot of coffee in my latte cup with milk doesn't seem to bother me. Well i will take the size 12 i'm wearing, i dont' think i ever wore a size 12...lol.. but all in all i'm happy so far with my results. i think were all doing great. Much success to you as well in your weight loss. Take care... Dorothy Gillette
