Hi Madeline, I just read your post about you being disappointed in not losing your weight real fast. I am 9 1/2 months post op I had RNY and I did not lose the weight real fast the first month but before you kow it you will be having to buy new clothes:) I still have my days of being down and cry. But then I look in the mirror and it is hard to beleive I am the same person i was last year. Hang in there and jsut be very cpmpliant with what your Dr. tells you to do. The smell of food made me sick at first also but now I can eat anything I want except bread it still bothers me. I stay away from pure sugar and all fried foods. I use splenda and take vitamins daily and drink protien . I found a new protein it is called profect and you can order it online it is like koolaide and not nasty like the other protein drinks. I had a hard time drinking hte others and protien level was low until I started this new one. feel free to email me. I support you totally and can relate to the feeling that you are going through but it is all worth it in the end. I have lost 85 pounds and have about 18 more to go:) Hang in there. JoAnn

May the Lord plant a hedge of angels around you and give you an uneventful surgery. I am praying for you. “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; Surely, I will heal you.” (2 Kings 20:5). Save room for me on that loser’s bench. My big day is March 2nd!

Hello Madeline, I just wanted to say congratulations on your decision to have weight loss surgery. I see that your date is just around the corner and we can’t wait to welcome you to the other side. As you start to lose the pounds you are going to feel so much better and your energy level will just grow. In just a few short months you’ll be able to do things you never thought possible. The little things will get so much easier, like tying your shoes. I know, I had RNY Gastric Bypass in August of 2004, and I’ve lost 130 lbs. Now the surgery and the change in lifestyle are not walks in the park. That’s why I go to support group meetings and belong to online WLS discussion groups like http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/WLBSS/ . And I check out websites like Obesity Help and http://wlbss.com for support and information. WLBSS stands for Weight Loss Bariatric Surgery Support, and you should take advantage of all the support you can get. Get all your questions answered by experienced losers who are now winners. From the Girth, a Rising Phoenix, a Bariatric Butterfly, that soon will be you. Congrats and good luck. We’re all right behind you and with you as you start to change your life. Take Care, Bill Johnson-Miles
