Hi Everyone!
My surgery is scheduled for the end of August. I'm not quite sure how to use this site yet so I'm going to do a little exploring. I'm really hoping to get any advice anyone might have and hear others' stories. It'd be great to talk to others who have had this done or are getting it done!

Welcome to the loser's bench Kathi. There are a few that do have feelings of hunger. It wasn't me, at least at first. Now from time to time, my head says I am hungry, and my pouch says not really hungry. Yes, you may notice a big difference when you get to solids. They will remain in your pouch longer and give you the full sensation.

In the meantime, sip, sip, sip. It is great to have others for support, we are here for you too. Happy losing Kathi.

Hi everyone, my name is Kathi K. and Kathy B. invited me to say hi to everyone. I had my RNY on 7-18-11 and have got to say I have felt hungry since then. I hope when I get to solids it will get better. I have my first post-op this Weds. and will see what my doctor says. I feel a little stronger each day and notice the small differences from the 18th til now. I have a cousin and another friend who have had this and have someone to call if I'm down or need to ask a question. Having all of you will be a big help whether I just read the boards or ask one of you a question. Thanks for having this group and inviting me to join. Kathi

Thats's for sure...I just wanted to help those in my area that are having a hard time finding local groups. Oh btw....the city bus goes to UT folks even on saturdays.
Have a great day!

Topic: RE: Emotions running a muck

Thank you so Kathy. I definately will remember to talk to the Doc about the medication thing due to being on Celexa for depression.
I just didn't realize that I would or could start going thru the emotional thing before having surgery...I have lost 16 lbs so far. But it is a relief to know this too shall pass.
