You too!
What type of protein shakes are you having? I had some issues with them in the past and would love to find one that would not make me sick.

I agree, it always helps to talk to people in the same boat as you are. Family support is also important! I am so lucky to have the family support too!!
No matter what they say about men losing faster than women, we still share the same struggles. You have done really really well!!!!
Keep in touch and everyone keep posting. Let's stick together and win this battle forEVER!

Sounds like you're eating well! Here's what I had yesterday:
Breakfast: 1 protein shake
Snack: 2 cheese sticks
Lunch: 1/2 c. peanuts and 1 cheese stick
Snack: Protein shake
Dinner: 1 vegetarian meatball with tomato sauce and sauteed onions, peppers and mushrooms
Snack: 1/2 c. no sugar added ice cream
I'm also drinking 1-2 cups of coffee a day and doing my best to sip sip sip at other times. I'm working on doing less protein shakes--they are easier and ensure that I get my protein, but I've heard it's not good to overrely on them.
Keep up the good work!

Hi -- My rny was 7/31 -- I started at 266 (5'1") and have lost 76 pounds -- was soooo excited to be under 200. 
I had an EGD last week -- turns out I have a bit of a stricture, but they dilated it a little and things go down (and stay down) a lot easier now. I have an appointment to have it done again on the 24th -- as complications go, it's an easy fix. I haven't enjoyed throwing up much, but have probably lost weight faster -- so not all bad!
On the downside, I was feeling very tired all the time and nauseated, too -- so didn't do a lot of exercise the last couple of months. Feeling much better now, thankfully.
Glad to hear from some fellow July '08 folks -- hope everything continues to go well for ya. :-D

All these posts are super! I had my surgery 7/24/08, open RNY. Of course, as they say, men lose faster than women, but you women are doing FANTASTIC! I was 385 on my surgery date and now weigh 275, lost 110. My goal weight is 225, have another 50 more to go. I joined a gym about a month ago, work out at least 4-5 times a week. Doing great, feeling super and get alot of support from my kids too! Thanks for posting this for the 7/08ers and keep on losing everyone! -Bruce.

LAURA, I feel and move so much better--and my husband loves the new look. I actually weigh less than I did when we married. The best surprise was my 20 year old daughter telling him "nobody better hit on Mom when we go to the mall!"
