Checking in at 4 months post-op. All is good, weight loss is slow, sometimes stalling but successful. I am losing A LOT of hair. I mean A LOT. I am having iron checked this week. Also noticing loose skin under arms. My hypertension medication was decreased and no longer using a cpap machine!!!!  I feel great, ramping up the workouts. Started running and had a good time for a 5km run. 33:45. Would love to hear Sept 2016 RNYers or WLS updates!

Hello fellow brave RNYers. It's been a month since surgery and I am down 25lbs.  I don't believe this is normal as for the past two weeks I have been on a very restricted diet... no dairy, no seafood, no whey, nothing from a box or can, no frozen vegetables or fruits.  No Salt!!! Or anything that has salt in it. I've been living on steel cut oatmeal, egg whites, ground chicken, ground turkey, fruit, iceberg lettuce with balsamic (I'm addicted to), homemade hummus, cooked vegetables, fresh fruit.  My protein tanked for 2 weeks.  I can start eating normally tomorrow and I am fearing weight gain. What do you think?  I will be on the solid foods phase and my protein intake needs to be min 80 grams. I won't have a problem doing that. It's the whole grains I am worried about. Ex. Whole grain crackers, Melba toast. I have made sweet potato chips (slice and bake @350 convection for an hour, sprinkle sea salt and turn at 1/2 hour). 3-4 of those and that's my "movie popcorn" fix when a couple months ago a large buttered popcorn would have been on my menu.  What a difference!!!

Shout out to all September RNYers, I hope your journey are healthy and happy!!!

Have any members been diagnosed and treated for Thyroid cancer before RNY and how long was there a delay or cancellation of RNY because of Thyroidectomy?
