Hi everyone!  I just moved here from Virginia.  We are military and are stationed at Kanoehe Bay Marine Base.  I had RNY surgery on Oct. 8.  Anyone else here on the marine base?  I'm anxious to meet new friends and find a support group!   

I just wanted to let you all know I have a copy of Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies if anyone is interested.  I thought I would keep it for my own questions as I travel down this road but my mom bought a copy and has it in Texas so I can have it when I get home so if anyone wants this copy let me know.  Great for someone still trying to decide about surgery but also good for those that just have questions down the road.  Just let me know if you want the book and maybe we can meet somewhere and I c an get it to you.  Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!!!

I watched the video which I couldn'****ch before my surgery (or I might have chickened out).  Now I feel like I have a better understanding of exactly what my body has gone through!  Pretty amazing stuff they can do these days with 5 small incisions!

First does it taste like raw fish?  if not, where do I get it.  Since my second surgery my appetite has decreased and I'm not getting as much protien as I did before.

I hear ya! I love, love, LOVE my jerky, too!!! The marlin is SO good, too!! But, in a pinch, when I can't find any good local stuff, I go with the beef teri kind until I can get more fish.

I think I like all the chewing the best. Makes me feel like I am eating so much when in reality I only have a tiny bite!
