have a great day secret pal
Before sugery 230 - Day of Surgery 221.6 - Current Weight 140
LOL! You know, now that I am under 300 the scales are more of a tool to keep me in check.
I was up a pound this morning but I did not let it phase me. I am so content with ME right now. Any more that I lose will just be a huge bonus!
It's amazing how someone can touch our lives. I hope that I make an imprint on someone's life!

Phew, I thought I was the target (deep down I am hyper sensitive!).
So, your revision...not an RNY? If I am reading correctly... a switch? I would love to hear more about it!
I think if you know you will need to have NSAIDS then the Switch is a better choice!
We are here for you and behind you 100%!!!!
And you are right...I did ask for vents so thank you for venting! :-)
Love you!

(and even if just you, me and Deb post, that is fine with me...I really hope that this Forum will become a support group, small and intimate. I urge all of you to post so that we can all get to know each other better!)

GET OFF THE DAMNED SCALE
I heart you Renee .... and yes, I did have a few someones in my life like that. Have unfortunately lost touch with them all. One was a prof of mine in Nursing School. Not quite sure why she left such a profound impression on me, but I'm sure if she knew what I did at this point she would be proud of the nurse I have become.

However, I am (as my kids used to call it when they were younger) an "out-nighter" (night nurse) and ya know, you day shift people do tend to think night shift is a great time to do stuff they weren't able to get to (don't mean you personally...).
to you and good luck with the dietician!!

but i have heard from my new june pal. She sounds wonderful!!!

People are asking some of the questions and I think I just needed to vent....
As for dumping... believe it or not I *like* dumping. I like the feedback to "remind" me that if I eat ------- (fill in the blank) I will feel like crud and more likely than not end up in a fetal position hoping I fall asleep quick to feel better.
If my RNY continued to "work" and wasn't physiologically broken (pouch was made ineffectively and stoma is more a "flow thru" than a restriction) I would be about 75% happy with it!! Another reason the DS is more of what I need at this point is because I know I will be needing long term NSAIDS and, as you know, with the RNY you shouldn't be taking them, I also tend to use Advil (another no-no with RNY) because I have a history of my liver being very sensitive to tylenol so I am not supposed to use it.
You asked for rants and vents and I guess I needed to do just that, so I did!
Thanks for being here guys - ok, mainly Renee and Deb since we are the seemingly most prolific writers on here - altho I will guess many more are lurkers.

Did you ever have someone in your life who just meant the world to you? Well Jean-Louis Roederer was/is that person to me!
I am still under 300. I need to go a week so I know it's real!
Have a great day!
