True Newbie questions

First, am I in the right place? I had an Proximal RNY on Friday, but I don't see an RNY message board. Second ... how much should I be eating at one time? I am having no problem sipping on the protein drinks (more juice-like not the thick ones) but when I try soup, I can only get a few spoonfuls before I feel bloated. Also, my taste buds have changed! I am much more sensitive to salt (can't stand it) and some sweet things don't taste sweet at all to me. (Sugar free pudding-yech, but sugar free Jello is great!) I can see why I will lose a lot of weight, at this rate! Leslie

Good Morning and CONGRATULATIONS on your WLS Leslie, This is the VBG Surgery board -- the board that you are looking for is the main Message Board for this site. The main message board is the "RNY'ers" board (although everyone who has had WLS posts there as well). Don't know why they don't have their own messageboard -- probably because they are the large majority of users to this site that the main messageboard works out well for them. If you are a VBG'er though it is hard to find anyone on the main board to connect with so it is better to come here as we are a relatively small group of WLS patients. Here is a link to the Main Messageboard -- you can also get to it by going to the top links bar and clicking Message Board! http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/messageboard/ Best Regards, Congratulations & Happy Holidays!
