Topic: RE: Where are all the Minnesota Peeps!

Hey everyone, I just had the RNY gastric bypass surgery yesterday and I'm looking for a place to have some people to talk with, share thoughts, feelings, etc.  I'm in Minneapolis.  Hope to make some connections here with people and to offer any support I can to everyone. 

Thanks

Topic: ulcers!
Wow are they painful! I have another endoscopy on Monday to see if they are healing and I am praying they are... Has any one else have this happen? Not a drinker, smoker, no meds I'm not supposed to be taking. Also I am 2 and a half months out I have lost 52 pounds, last hospital stay I gained back 4 pounds and have been stuck here what am I doing wrong? I am starting to feel like a medical experiment...

Stomach flus can do all sorts of magic with weight loss. lol

when I was pregnant, I had hyperemesis gravidarum, in other words I vomited A LOT. in the first 5 months of pregnancy, I lost 15% of my body weight due to being sick all the time.

glad you're feeling better!!!

I'm from MN! I am southern mn near Mankato. I have been checking out this forum, but it just seemed no one participated here. I'd love it if it got up and going again! What are the Facebook groups? Have the address or title of the group?

A little about myself...I am Amanda, I'm 27 and will be getting the RNY gastric bypass on December 21 by Dr. Jones at Park Nicollet hospital in st. Louis park.

let's get the MN page going again, people!

I agree, it has been very quiet.  Nobody responds to my Monday weigh-in anymore, and there used to be lots of people who participated.   There are a couple of pretty active Facebook groups with local peeps.  Despite the fact that Facebook is painfully slow, it is faster than OH.  Maybe that's why...

Hey everyone just wanted to stop by and say HI!  It sure seems this message board is becoming a ghost town! I would love to see it pick back up like it was when I first got on here, anyway hope all is well and hope to hear from you!

Topic: What stomach flu will do for you Monday morning weigh-in

Good morning, all.  I feel better now, so I can joke about this, but boy was I miserable on Saturday night.  I don't wish this flu on anyone, but at least it made for a good weigh-in this morning.

Starting weight: 298.4
Last week: 139.4

This week: 134.8

Loss of 4.6 lbs 

This is the lowest I have been since my surgery!  It won't last, but I'm going to enjoy it while I can.  I certainly had to suffer enough for it.

I also ran 7.5 miles on Saturday, including a 4 mile race, before the flu hit me.  I'm still re-hydrating, LOL.  Hope everyone had more fun this weekend than I did.
