Hello, I am new to this group!!

Welcome, welcome! I had open RNY on th 15th and down 28#. It is nice to talk to people that are at the same point in the journey. I still can't believe it's over, can you? All the worry, waiting, etc., Now we're losers! he he he Joyce

I know what you mean. I can't believe we are finally on the "other side"

Welcome aboard, there is plenty of room on this losers bench!

Move over Greg I am sitting with you!! Thanks for the warm welcome!!

Hello K D and welcome. I had my surgery on 9/27/04 and I have lost 26lbs. Feeling great. Just having a hard time of eating when I am not hungry. I never thought I would ever say I am not hungry. Welcome aboard and good luck on your new journey. Many Blessing to you Peggy

Hey there KD....how goes it? I had surgery on 09/27/04 and I have lost 25 pounds and THIRTEEN inches. Not all in areas where I really wanted to lose inches but oh well, gotta take the good with the bad! LOL I am doing great except I am now lactose intollarant. I never realized how much food I really like that has milk in it! It sure limits the liquid diet for sure! I think this site forum is awesome as well. I love seeing/comparing my issues/success' with others that are at about the same time out as myself. Welcome to the losers side, it sure is a great place to be! TTFN Codie

Have you tried soy milk? It is almost identical with milk in nutrients and almost the same in taste. I don't find that I have trouble with it.

Hi K D!! Welcome to a great board! This board has been wonderful for me and the million and one questions that I've had. You'll love it here! Julia

Welcome K D, This is a great place to ask any questions, voice any concerns or just brag about your loss. Everyone is very friendly, and I agree, it is nice to communicate with people who are at the same point in post-op. We are all trying to overcome the same hurdles. I'm 19 days post op and as of last Friday I was -14 since surgery and -37 since my pre-op shake diet. 37 lbs gone forever and feeling great!! Kell
