Just tell yall
Hey Amber,
I had RNY about six weeks ago and I dont know if I am typical but as of this morning I am 35 pounds lighter. I still have a long way to go but the one reward was I no longer am in the forty plus BMI range either which helped out alot on the mental side. Just think about it this way you eat tiny amounts of things and will feel more like you ate a two plate thanksgiving dinner. At least that is my take on it. Just the smaller amounts of things to ingest is alot to get used to. My eyes were and are to some degree much bigger than my Stoma but as I progress and dont want to get into over doing it I have finally learned to trust my instincts and not eat much at one time. The only down side of this being six weeks out is you wont know exactly what foods do what when you get on solid stuff and I found the sampling to be different. It may hit you in a similar way with tastes. For some reason I love fish now and never gave it much thought when I was pre surgery. I have had just tiny bits of beef in soups but for some reason my favorite protein is not what it was prior to surgery. You are going to have something of an adventure getting adjusted but it should be a good one.

I had only two weeks for my prediet so they told me dont gain any weight.. I wanted so bad to have some last suppers just prior to the surgery. I just kept with what I was doing and luckily did not gain anything. It was a sigh of relief when I hit the scales and was right where I had been two weeks prior.. i pretty much dont drink anymore so I would not know if one would give your liver a ride or not. Now Im just a little spooked about the fast absorption rate of a drink that alcohol poisoning could lurk in the shadows if too much got to the brain to fast so I may just stay on the wagon instead.
The adjustment to the new you will be the coolest thing and it sneaks up on you too. I was still tugging on my jeans and they got looser and looser then I went for a new pair and dropped 8 inches on the waist. It was like winning the superbowl in the dressing room. Alot of really good stuff is right around the corner barring any complications.. my wife had one early on and wound up in the hospital for a week with a dynamic illius but she was ok in a few days and it worked out well. Its hard not to say that things wont happen mainly because they do but if you look at the laws of averages you stand on heck of a chance of coming out with a dozen roses instead..
