Topic: It has finally happened!!!!
I had wls on November 24th and started out at 244. As of my 9 month anniversary I am down a whopping 100 lbs!!!!! I did it! I can;t believe it actually happened. I have been reading posts of people who had their surgery AFTER me and have already passed the 100 lbs mark but I only have 19 more pounds to go until I reach goal and I will be a whole 125!!!!

Didn't your surgeon give you guidelines? Call his office and ask.

What weight did you start at and how tall are you? A sucessfull result after an RNY is 65-75% of excess weight loss--I can figure that for you if you give me those numbers.
Also, are you exercising? You may be able to lose more if you increase your exercise.

Hey Lisa!
Have to ask, what are you eating, drinking and what kind of activities are you doing?
Topic: RE: vitamins
Hi;
I take the OPTI SOURCE chewable. I get them from Walgreens.com or the local Target (when they have them). I also have to supplement with extra Vitamin Bs. The opti source taste great kind of a orange flavor and we are to take 4 a day so they also work as a snack for me. But check with your doc first.
