Amber, I always check to see where you are because we both started out at the same weight and only a week apart in surgery. I too am down 72 lbs and if you check the weight loss estimator on this web site it will show you that we are right on track. I get very frustrated and have found myself snacking lately as well. I do agree with some of the other posts though about having protein instead of the carbs. I just went and grabbed a snack size bag of animal cookies and then decided to drink my whey-liquid protein and now I am not hungry at all. Good luck with everything, you are doing great just like the rest of us.

Heather, I am not sure if it is the same for RNY but I was told ahead of time that after a DS, liver enzymes are up for the first 6 months, and it is self correcting (nothing to worry about). It may possibly be the same for you; you may want to ask your surgeon. Jezia
