Topic: RE: Finding my focus!
Another Monday. It was a good day, although I did indulge in some stress relief by having a serving of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, totally the wrong choice. I will have to plan for the stress with something with less fat & calories! Have a great Tuesday everyone, I will be back tomorrow.

Topic: Any RNY Revisions?
Hi Everyone, It's been a long time!!!
I know there are a whole bunch of Sleevers out there. However, I need to hear from the RNYs please.
I am planning to get the RNY hopefully soon. Just wanted to see if there was anyone else there that has had one as a revision. I did not like the lap band. I did not work with the sleeve ( I know it a tool) because of emotional eating & Major Depression. I'm seeing a Therapist. I am doing much better. I have horrible Acid Reflux too. I still have Type II Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and High Cholesterol.
How do you like the RNY?
I had the LB in 2008, VSG in 2009 (self pay) Lost 30 lbs and gained back 15 lbs.
Now if my insurance covers the RNY, I'm going to give this one last try... Please no negative replies, I have had enough at the Revision forum.
Thanks.

I have the chewable vitamins, one opened with 2 vitamins taken and another unopened if someone would like to buy them from me. I will gladly mail them to you.
They make me sick.

Topic: Still suffering with HORRIBLE gas bubbles
I had my surgery Tuesday 9/20. I am suffering horribly with gas bubbles and hiccups. I have never been able to burp or belch to relieve these, but Pepto Bismol would always help. I can not take PB now and the Gas X strips do NOTHING, except maybe make it worse?
Not able to get my total liquid amounts in because of them. PLEASE, if anyone out there has had this problem and has a remedy, please let me know. I do not want to go in for IV's.

Hi! I know of several people in Durant that have had WLS. I had RNY myself. You made a decision to take control and save your life that's a big step. Don't be ashamed of that decision and don't give anyone the time of day that doesn't support it. The co-worker that kept offering you food would he offer you a cigarette if you had stopped smoking or offer you a drink if you were an alcoholic? You have allot invested in your surgery your life depends on its success. You are losing weight keep up the good work and be proud!!!

It's Saturday!!! I've had a really good day food wise. I woke up WAY too early for my niece's game she was cheering in so I've had a totally lazy afternoon. Gotta get some motivation to get my butt on the elliptical tonight. Maybe during the game. Going to the fair tomorrow so wish me luck to not drool all over everyone at the food they're eating

Okay, it's Saturday! Trying to keep quantity of food low since nutrition of ham & beans is probably questionable :) Had a great trip to Joplin with the family and now a relaxing evening at home. Have a great weekend everyone. New post tomorrow for a new week!

Karen,
It's difficult to share with others, they don't share the obese experience and don't understand how we feel. I told most people about my band, now that I have regained weight, I wish I hadn't. It probably wouldn't matter because they would still be asking how I lost the weight and why I didn't eat as much. I am still glad I did it, just frustrated that I have allowed stress to make me lose my focus. I should have reached my goal by now and I am far from it. It's a great tool if you use it properly.
I hope you remained focused on what is best for you and don't allow other to make you feel less than beautiful, successful and worthy of love and respect.

I've gotten to experience life with a lapband AND with a sleeve so I know where you're coming from on the eating thing. It DOES suck when you're SO used to eating as much as you want around friends but just remember that you are doing this for you. Not anyone else. You make the decision on what goes into your mouth and what doesn't. You're doing an excellent job and I will be cheering you on all the way!
