Sandy-
Sorry to hear you're down 
dont worry...I promise you..this horrible very miserable stage will pass. I remember saying when i was just a couple of weeks out...how in the world could I have been so stupid. I said I regretted all of this. So much pain and I wanted REAL food. My husband was wonderful that he made food and I didn't do it..so I didn't have to really smell it. I used to go in the room so I didn't have to watch them eat a real meal. I was allowed pureed food at 3weeks out. I have to say. I ended up cheating alittle bit. I just couldn't handle it. I hate the pureed at about 2 1/2 weeks out. I knew there were so many possiblities of bad reactions. But I handled it very well. I couldnt eat eggs then..and I still cant today. You're going to be very surprised at what you like and dont like anymore. Didn't think it would really make a difference. As far as the supplements. There is just no way possible to get everything in that early. My doc and others on here just told me to do what I could. I've tried and tried. Even at 10 mths out now..i still have a difficult time getting all my protein in. Others are great. I however..am still stuggling. Just keep in mind..this stage is almost over and youre going to see more than those 9lbs drop!! It is so exciting to see. One week I lost 10lbs!! I was so excited!! Keep me posted. Please e-mail if you have any other questions. 
This is the worst of it..and you're almost through all of it..keep going honey

Thanks for your concern, Rebekkah. I had my RNY last Tuesday and I'm having some difficulties with diarrehia...it's probably all the supplements I'm still trying to take for my fibromyalgia. I am also having low blood sugar problems and am having to eat(?) my broth and Jello every two to three hours. I'm wondering if this is normal. I will call the dr's office tomorrow to see. He will probably say stay off the supplements, but I am in so much pain if I don't take them. I'm also having problems wondering if life will ever be normal again. Will I ever be able to eat anything again? I am so sick and tired of Jello and chicken broth! I don't want to eat junk, but an egg or a sandwich sounds so good right now. Anyway, today has been a difficult day. My pain level with the fibro is up. I looked at my eating schedule to see what I can eat beginning Tuesday and discovered I won't be able to eat a soft boiled egg for another week...UGH! I went into this with my feet dragging, but I didn't think I had any other choice because I've dieted for 50 years. Of course, now I think I could have tried one more diet or hypnosis or something besides this! Sorry, I'm a little down this evening. Beyond this, I have already lost 9 lbs and I am healing well. Any insight from someone who has been here would be appreciated.

Precious Heavenly Father I lift Angel up to you for your protection and speedy recovery with her surgery tomorrow morning. Guide Dr. Barker in this procedure and let her surgery be uneventful and thorough. Give her patience in her recovery and in her healing. Be with her family as they wait patiently while she goes through this life changing procedure and comes out on the other side healthier and in minimum pain. We ask all these things in Jesus's name. Amen.

Kevin,
Thank you so much for your quick response! I have now lost fifteen pounds. It seems since my first post-op doc's visit I have stopped losing weight. I think it may have to do with the constipation. But, who knows? I would absolutely love the baked ricotta recipe! It sounds fantastic. And, I will definitely try the tasteless whey protein. I am on the whey protein shakes now (GNC's Cookie's N Cream),sometimes with water and sometimes with soy milk. It's pretty good. But, I'm getting sick of it, to the point where it's getting difficult to choke down. My nutritionist advised me to stop taking the Carnation because I was having diarrhea and it contains lactose, which could have been contributing to it. Your weight loss is incredible and I sincerely thank you for your words of encouragement. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Keep up the great work!

I live in Rozet. My surgery is Tuesday and I haven't been able to locate one close to me. I called the hospital and the sent me to the library and they said that the group no longer meets there and no one has a contact number.
HELP!!!
