Hi,
I take  Zetia.  It is a teeny tiny pill that you can take whole. 

 I have forgotten to eat also. Maybe in with the minority but it happens. I notice it when I get really sleepy. When I can't seem to get energy Iook at when I've eaten last or what I've eaten and notice I haven't eaten enough. Don't feel bad, I don't intentionally do it either but it does happen to me!

Congrats! Yes sugar free tastes extremely sweet after surgery. For a while I had no idea how I was going to make it with the chewable vitamins because they were much too sweet. Tomato soup was too sweet (go figure). Now things still tastes a bit sweet, but it's not overbearing. Best Wishes!

 Wow it still doesn't seem like this is real! I has my surgery on Monday.  Monday was a bit nutty because my surgeon was behind with the first patient but everything went well a d I had no complications. My only issue was extreme nausea after I woke up in the recovery room and then once that was under control and I was brought to my room my pain was a bit out of control.  Luckily once that was settled things have been fine.  I do notice that when I get up and walk around I will get a tad dizzy and that will make me a bit nauseated but otherwise things are good. 

I was released at about 1 pm yesterday and came home to my parents house. I've had no major problems drinking liquids I also notice when I'm full and can wait a bit for it to go down.  I tried a popcicle last night wow was it sweet sodidn't eat much of it. I'm up right now cause I set my alarm for my Meds. Overall painful but surviving and so far do good! Hope all my other May 21st buddies are doing well!! 

Ok I'm in but I'm not starting til Friday. I have a retirement dinner tomorrow that I paid $40.00 to attend. I'm eating the damn roll when the bread basket comes around. I can skip dessert before I can pass the bread basket and that my friends is why I needed WLS.  I have paid penitence for the great donut fiasco last weekend.

I feel so bad for you guys rushing back to work. My doctor gave me 6 weeks and I needed them to get into a routine of eating and drinking the new way and getting in my vitamins.  I did have 8 weeks of sick days though. 

Good Luck tomorrow and let us know how it goes!

 Whoa whoa--  I really appreciate your words of encouragement, and I'm glad I'm not alone in the cycle I'm trying to break. Thank you for replying.

But I like and respect Kim, and I don't want this post to turn into a negative bash of anyone. Context is hard to read online, so it's possible I'm misreading her tone, and I've already apologized privately to her if that's the case. It's no big deal, really. 

Charlie I also forget to eat, your not alone.
And to the one who was *****ing at you...she did it to me 2 days ago when I posted "how many calories should you eat 15 months out" Obviously someone pissed in her oatmeal. Its one thing to be straight forward and honest. Its another to come off as rude and a Bit**.
I guess some girls know how to go about responding to someones questions...and some girls dont.

Best of luck to you Charlie, You know what your doing, Keep on keeping on

How many months post RNY did your weightloss completely stop. I understand that after 6 months it slows down, and I know that surgeons say that weightloss stops from 12-18 months. But I'm curious to know at what month did you guys completely stop losing. It would be helpful if you can advise of your starting weight when you had surgery, and the weight that you were when weightloss stopped, and of course the number of months. Thanks!
