I had surgery on 8/18/05...I feel great and all has gone pretty well except when I forget to slow down and eat too fast and then it is too late. I have been getting an hour of cardio in everyday except Sunday and I am down 40 lbs. People are really starting to notice. Starting weight at pre-op visit 342 Weight today 302

Surgery Lap RNY August 25 Started pre diet 8/11/05 weighed 263 today 8/22/05 weighed 228 Total weight lost 35 lbs. I am not eating much of anything three days ago I started to get sick and after I eat, the food must be remove or it causes me to feel sick. I even feel sick after my protein drinks. I have thrown up three times now once a day except today. I am tired and sleep at least 9 hour per night. I used to sleep 6 or 7 hours per night. I do eat cottage cheese, baby food fruit, soups, I have taken bites of salad and had 5 piece of Filet Mignon. I really have lost my taste for food. Anyone eles like me? Diana

Oh my GOD, i thought i was the only one... i feel totally sick after anything goes into my mouth (except ice)... I have totally lost the taste for food too... i had surgery on Aug 26 was 291 now today i am 253, but i feel like crap anytime i eat, any ideas???

Hi Thelma, I try and get the protein down which I do not do very well. I eat baby food fruit and that does not make me sick. I am just staying on the bland soft, liquid foods. I only eat 3 times a day and I know it is not enough but for now I feel great except when I eat. I do get headaches and I read somewhere that people lose there appetites at around month 2. I think if we get protein down then are appetites will come back. Keep in touch and let me know how your doing and I will do the same. Diana
