Angela; I am so sorry you are so miserable. I think I would go back to the basics. SF jello, broth, (chicken) and I would NOT do boullion, there is far too much sodium in it. I have been eating cottage cheese and yogurt to get some protein in. I do LOVE the low carb slim fast shake in choc. It actually soothes my stomach. Wak Mart is the cheapest and easiest place to find it. I keep a glass of water next to me all of the time and it helps to remind me to drink. If you can't drink it, squeeze some lemon maybe in it. It is so important to drink though. It is not good for your kidneys or even your brain! IT does cause headaches not drinking enough water! Did you know that??? TRUE!!! Good luck, Phyllis

I had the RnY, Bypass. My Surgery was October 15, 2007. As of November 2, I lost 61 pounds from my pre op highest weight. 26 pounds from the date of surgery. My next apt is November 30, I dont have a scale at home. I am on Soft Foods right now.

Tina, I wouldn't worry about how much or little, everyone is different and lose at different rates. As long as you are doing well and are on the losing side then be happy!

I had Ryn 10/31/07 and have lost 13lbs start weight @ 235lbs im three weeks out and started to eat soft foods I eat alot of refired beans fat free and egg beaters scrambled eggs with a small flour tortilla (Burrito) takes me about 30 mins to eat. I have yougart and oatmeal and soups, apple sauce. I dont think its a great weight loss so far It seems like alot of you all are losing at a much faster rate. Tina Love

I had open RNY on October 5 and I have lost 32 lbs post op (lost about 20 pre op). I am very nervous because it seems I have almost stopped losing over the past 2 weeks. Has anyone else had this problem? I am eating very healthy, drinking my water, but the scale seems to have ground to a halt. Anyone have any words of advice for me? Laurie
