Hi!! My name is Nicole, I am 26 years old and I had the RNY done on September 6, 2011 in Columbia by Dr. Glen Strickland. I am doing okay, however I have not lost any weight in almost 2 weeks?? Have any of you experienced this before??

 I weighted 284 the day of surgery and I weight 264 now!! Also, how have you all been doing with eating? I am actually doing very well, I can eat almost anything I want. Which worries me, cause ppl I know that have had this surgery done couldn't hardly eat anything and lost alot of weight. I can't eat alot, but I can eat. It worries me:(

Thanks

The problem is that you are eating what you want.  You must only eat the high in protein, low in fat, no sugar diet.  Beginning to eat like this so early is only setting yourself up for failure and eventual weight gain.  I'm sure, like everyone else, that getting to this point was long, tiring and it just couldnt get here quick enough.  I would definitely talk with your doctor and start keeping an honest food journal and talk with your nutritionist as well.  Good luck to you!
