December, 2013 RNY Buddies
Finally on the way down!
Hi Friends,
I'm finally losing some weight, I've been gradually replacing my meals with shakes in preparation for my liver reducing diet which begins this week (1/16). I was getting a little discouraged because I hadn't seen any consistent weight loss just my usual yo yo of 2-3 lbs. but finally I'm starting to see a trend. Yeah, I'm down 7lbs since December. whoop whoop.
Keep you posted. Here's to a Healthier and Happier us!
Yay, Adelina! Glad to see you're on your way to the loser's bench! Don't get discouraged, the weight doesn't come off at all smoothly, even after surgery. Just hang in there and stick with the program, and you'll be losing again in no time!

Congratulations on being a loser!
Although I had lost 18 lbs at my one month check and thought that was too little, they told me the target zone is 15-20. The surgeon said he'd have been fine if I had lost zero, because he pumps his patients so full of IV fluids the entire hospital stay. (No kidding; at 1 week out I was still up 8 lbs over my starting weight and I couldn't find my ankle bones for the life of me.)
