Newbie to this forum

Had RNY in August and usually just follow RNY forum, just discovered this one.  I am 56 and will be 57 on the 18th so I guess I qualify.  It hasn't been easy, yet it hast been hard.  Losing very slowly but MD told me I would.  I try to stay focused on the journey.

Hi Lyn!  Welcome to OFF!  Come and join our daily thread.  We would love to get to know you.

Hi Lyn, Welcome to our forum. These are some of the friendliest people I have ever met -- warm and caring.  We all lose at a different pace.  Just keep doing what your doctor tells you and you will succeed.

Hi Linda,

I too had RNY in August and I'm 57!

Welcome, you have found a great group of people. At our age weight doesn't come off that fast for most of us. But I truly feel slower is better, plus were all different and our bodies will do whats best for it.

It's hard to stay focused 24/7 but when we detour our little pouch will raise it's ugly head and help us stay the course.

Thoughts and prayers for all,

Debbie

Thank you to all for the welcome.  I am looking forward to being part of this forum.

Welcome.  Like some of the others have said, you will learn what you can and cannot eat.
