"For those of you on the fence about this surgery-I wouldn't hesitate having it done.  It is a new lease on life and you will have no regrets."

It sure helps to read posts like yours! Congratulations

Awww Barb, I am sorry you r going through this. It must be frustrating for you. Dont know if this will help, but maybe PM Shell (cuter w curves) she also had a sleeve done and is a go to for info for alot of ppl. She was my angel and came to see me right after I was out of recovery, she is a very compassionate person and like I said full of info. Maybe she can offer a few tricks to help u along the way? I really hope u r feeling well soon. BTW I am 3 weeks out from rny and I usually need a nap after a small outing.   Take it slow and only do what u feel up to. We all heal differently, some of us need more time than others.

This is cool!  

Thanks!!

Not pathetic at all - its lovely....

RNY, 6 months post op

Good morning, everyone!

I'm off for my morning run, then to Great Wolf Lodge with the family for a few days.  So I won't be posting for a couple of days (will be tracking on Sparkpeople, though). 

Here's my plan for today:

B - 3/8 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 banana, 1 tbsp. wheat bran, SF syrup

S - 1/2 pure protein bar

L - 3/8 cup chili, 1 tbsp. sour cream, 1/2 cup spinach salad (with cucumbers, tomatoes, and 1 tbsp. balsalmic dressing)

S - Cheese string (herb/garlic), premier protein drink

D - Will be at Great Wolf - they have a good buffet, though, so will grab a meat or fish and some veggies.

S - Pudding cup, jello (bringing some with me - love that they have fridges/microwaves there!).

Have a great day!

Hi Cathy!  Welcome to the board.  I am from Peterborough as well and had my surgery on the 27th of February.  Best decision I ever made and it has been a walk in the park since the day I got out of the hospital-only issues was constipation but we can talk about that another time lol.  We meet in the mall anywhere from 6pm to 9pm in the food court along the couches.  I don't know if you are on facebook but if you look up my name monica fowler and add me I will have them add you to the peterborough coffee group.  Good luck and I hope to meet you soon-if you can't do coffee night I would be happy to meet you sometime for a chat.

Yes, I'm doing all right without him.  But you don't know how many times yesterday I was tempted to throw together an overnight bag and grab a Megabus deal to Niagara Falls to spend the evening with him!  What saved me from doing it was that I had plans with my friend last night and we had a great time, so I'm glad I didn't.  Hubby and I spent an hour or so on the phone late last night chatting before going to sleep - in fact, poor guy, I kind of started falling asleep on him. :)  We joked that it reminded us of dating before we were living together - we used to do the same thing then.  Heh - pathetic, truly pathetic. :)

Enjoy your day too!

I would love to hear some of the info!

So today, I was starving! and for dinner I cooked, Honey Garlic Ribs, mashed potatoes broccoli and cheese, and my absolute fav. ceaser salad! For desert was a strawberry, banana blueberry chocolate fondue! I had eaten amazing all day so that I could enjoy this dinner guilt free and stay in my range.

and yep 2 ribs and maybe 3-4 bites of salad! bahhhh lol oh and 2 strawberries!

My hunger may be back but my stomach sure is not! lol
