Update
Sorry I've been invisible the last week or two. A little down over the work situation, and a little stressed (the old job didn't pay me for the last week I worked, which makes things REEEEEAL tight ). However, I now have a regular schedule with my friend, and we're already talking about full-time/permanent/partnership. I lost another 9.7 lbs this week, for a total of 36.2 in 4 weeks. I moved down 2 sizes in slacks, and had to go buy a new belt because the old one was too big. The next-size-down dress shirts are still just a wee bit snug in the chest, so I'll wait another week or two before moving to those. I'm still struggling with what I can and can't eat, and how much and how fast - I find I'm "reviewing inputs" at least once a day because I ate too much or too fast. However, I was CRAVING sausage and peppers this past week, so I got a bunch of turkey sausage and made myself a big crockpot full! I'm a happy camper. Next up, crockpot choucroute garni (sauerkraut and smoked sausage - I'll use a turkey kielbasa).
Hey Randy,
I had my RNY March 1st. a day after you, since you and I are in the same boat, and i lost a total of 35lbs. i want to know if you can help me, i haven't been on this site in awhile, i been trying to do this on my own, i'm scared of stretching my stomach, that is my biggiest fear of all. you know? I vommited like once already i think i ate to fast, sometimes i real hungry, and sometimes i'm hardly hungry, sometimes i'm real thirsty and sometimes i'm not, is that normal? does that happen to you? my surgeon is like you can drink a lot of water blah blah, and he just total scared me with the stretching of the pouch, cus i skip snacks, and breakfast sometimes, so he goes no wonder you get real hungry, just wanna know, what can i do to make this a little bit easier? if you don't mind? i can't eat eggs i tried 3 times, it hurts, i have been snacking like he told me and only water, i'll do cartwheels if he says so, i just don't wanna do anything to cause me to have another surgery, this is way to painful to go through again. you know? if you can get back to me i will apperciate it!
Thanx
Zandy
