After having a leak and all the complications that come with it I now have large hernia. I see the surgeon on the 4th but from what I understand they will not repair it until I loose the rest of my weight (another 25lbs). Have any of you had a hernia or a hernia repair?

Thanks. Keeping up the good work is getting harder to do these days.

I wish I lived near you - I am in the same boat.  I need someone to knock some sense into me.  I have never begun to exercise (once or twice doesn't count) and am starting to graze and snack - which explains why my scale hasn't moved in a month or so.

I need a swift kick in the butt.

congrats on your 82 pounds, and thanks for the recipe idea.

im going great except for i need to get more exercise in,but right now im busy with work and need to make time for me.

I am down 82 since surgery.  I have not had any problems with my RNY and feel great.  Another 73 to go to get to what I think is my goal weight.

My new favorite dinner is to heat up my cast iron flat grill and butter (just a super small smidge) a low carb, high fibre tortilla.  Then I put on some La Victoria green sauce, some reduced fat cheese, some left over beef or chicken and pico de gallo.  I cover it for a while to let everything get melty and warm, then I use a spatulla to bring it over and I hold it there so it takes the form of a taco.  Yummy!  Lots of protein, and it fills me up.
