Topic: RE: I am so frustrated with slow loss should have had RNY
Hang in there! I was banded Aug 12 and have lost 58lbs. Remember we do lose slower than RNY...but it's gone for good. You say you can eat anything do you need a fill? I know before my last fill I could eat anything and large amounts, now since my last fill, I know I am not at my sweet spot, but I definitly can't eat large amounts and do get stuck on certain foods. Also I don't eat a lot in the mornings. 71lbs is a TON!!! I know your frustration I have been losing very slowly the last couple months, but I know the scale is moving in the right direction and yours is too....
I delivered 6 weeks early a 5lb 15oz lil boy:) After spending 2 months on bed rest in the hospital and Mason spending 11 days in the NICU, we're both home and doing great! Mason is getting bigger and gaining weight like he should. Now it's my turn to lose this weight! It's tough to get back on the band wagon...I CAN do this!

I agree 71lbs. is great! I had RNY on August 11th. I have lost 96lbs. Just stick to your diet....just because you can eat don't! Do what they tell you and keep drinking. I think you are doing great!

13 lbs was lost pre-op
71 pounds is fantastic!!!!! I had RNY Aug. 20 and have lost 72 pounds since surgery and my doctor said I am ahead of the "average" The "average" for RNY is to lose 1/2 of the extra weight by 6 months. I have 20 more pounds to lose to reach's my doctor's goal and 30 more to lose to reach my goal.
Just remember when have you ever lost 70 pounds in 5 months before!
Keep up the great work and you will reach your goal!!

Topic: RE: August Updates
I had surgery on August 11th. I have lost 85 pounds. I would like to be at 100 pounds by Feb 18th my 6th month check up. My diabetes was great at my first checkup. No more insulin. My second check up it was up, so I have added back a little insulin. That is OK though. I am getting discouraged because lately my weight loss is slow. I am also worried about what I eat. I am sticking to plan, but still worried.
Topic: RE: Should I tell people at work about my operation?
I didn't tell anyone prior to surgery, but since surgery I tell whoever comments about my weight loss and asks what I'm doing to lose.
For the most part, people have been supportive. Some have lots of questions... some tell me the horror stories of the people they "know" who have had major complications or death...
I just say that I did my homework and knew the risks involved but still chose to go through with the surgery.

Topic: RE: Esophogeal Stricture after Gastric Bypass
This is an old post... but, just in case someone is reading...
I had surgery august 13 and did well until the weekend of labor day when I started throwing things up. I thought I was trying to eat the wrong things, eating too fast, or not chewing well enough. Well, the throwing up started getting worse and worse each day. Finally, I decided to let my pouch rest and only drink shakes for the day. I couldn't keep them down either. So, I thought I'd go to clear liquids, still didn't hold that down either. I was even having to spit out my saliva because NOTHING would stay down.
I ended up going in to have an EGD on Sept. 19 and the doctor said I had a "pinhole" stricture. As soon as I woke up, I was feeling better. I went straight back into my regular diet that I was on at the time and have not thrown up again since.

Topic: RE: August Updates
I had surgery August 26; RNY (open) and have lost 65 pounds. I am 60 and was not very active by the time I had surgery and by Thanksgiving I started being able to walk for several hours around the house and just started on a treadmill on January 1st. I have arthritis in my feet from 30 years of jogging so sometimes I get frustrated because I have to get off my feet when I feel so darn energetic but that is just the way it is. I now weigh 201 and hope to get back to my "normal" weight ****il I was about 50) of 147 pounds. I am sort of at a plateau right now but I am patient.
