First goal accomplished, or will be in another 1.1 pounds... I wanted to lose 50 post surgery before my 20 year reunion, which is July 30, still 2 1/2 weeks away! I could get to 60lbs by then, which would make me at 100 pounds total weight loss. (Pre & post op) ...

Well, Monday willl be 5 weeks since my RNY, today I hit the 20 pound mark. Which, comparitively, I'm not really thrilled with, but I guess when you think about it in the 'real world' of diesting, 4 lbs a week is unheard of... so I'll be happy.
I ...

It will be 9 days post op, tomorrow and I seem to be stuck on 356/357 the last couple days, weirdly enough... I was getting obsessed, everytime I went to potty I weighed myself and it was up or down within about a pound. This morning, too, .4 pounds heavier ...

I have survived a week. And other than the pain in my gut, I think I'm doing ok. I can almost cough, if I do it carefully. I have figured out how to get up and down with out too much strain on my gut. I'm so far so good ...

A little overwhelmed...

I am home today for my first full day.... I have so much info, books and papers and pamplets and websites that all say the same thing, just a slightly different version. And what exactly is the scientific measurement of a 'heaping scoopful'? I CAN'T physically drink 2 heaping scoopfuls ...

I am home today after 2 nights in the hospital. I am still in quite a bit of pain, slightly left of my navel... Not so bad sitting or laying still but getting up and down, forget it. Unfortunately I can't just lay around all day. Poo! Hospital was nice, ...

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Ok. I have to say that Magnesium Citrate has got to be the nastiest crap I have ever had to ingest. Took me 45 minutes to get it down and as I sit here, I swear it's wanting to come back up. Ew. Maybe a SF popscicle will help get ...
