Well I guess I will add my little 11 pound loss to everyones. When I went for my follow up that was the count at weigh in. And yes I was dissappointed. But the Doctor said DO NOT LOOK AT THE MONTH PICTURE..WE WANT THE OVERALL YEAR PICTURE.  SO I HAVE CHOSEN TO STAY AWAY FROM THE SCALES. I am the type of person who is very hard on herself. So I cannot weigh myself everyweek. I get to pissed off at myself.  I had gastric bypass on 12/10/08. I have not weighed myself because the scale and I do not get along at all. I am doing everything the Doctor told me, I exercise on my Treadmill 5 times a week. I know I have lost because I can now wear my size 20 jeans. They are'nt even tight. All of my clothing is starting to get to big. I can wear a size extra large pj's instead of the usual 2x.  So Ho HO Ho Ho it's off to my Journey I go!

Fay,
 Hope you are feeling better! I live in Pa and winter is really bad this year, we got a ton of snow this weekend. I fell about 7 years ago and broke both bones in my right arm, went thru 6 surgeries, a year of pt, etc. So I am really afraid of falling again. I hate winter, I lived in southern Utah for 5 years and when I retire I am looking forward to moving out west, to warmer weather!!!
hugs,
Brenda

Michelle,
 I am so glad to hear that he is doing better. I started to work on Monday and it seemed to suck all the life out of me, I am still tired, but getting  stronger . Nice to see you too!

I also had RNY on 12/22 and have been stalled in the same place for about a week.  I am on mushies now, but there's hardly anything I can eat and not get sick.  FF refried beans, cottage cheese, and some 2% mozzerella have been about it since Monday.  I got really sick last Saturday on some chicken, and threw up over and over all day.  It was not pretty.  So I have taken it easy the rest of the week, but still get sick.  So this morning, since I didn't have to go to work, I thought I'd try a scrambled egg....big mistake.  Have felt worse than yucky all day...so my theory chicken and eggs are out!  I don't like eggs anyway, so I won't try them again.

Good luck!

I had RNY december 30th. I have been hungry the last few days! UGH! I am on this crappy clear liquid diet for three more weeks! I knew this would be hard but I didnt think I would get hungry this soon, it isnt emotional hunger either, I am hungry, and having hunger pains! It is killing me!? Alls I do is drink water, and slim fast, boost or something of the sort, eat jello and drink broth, I would feel so much better if I could have some substance!
 This diet thing gets me, some docs do a liquid diet, some go right to puree, why? My doc says it is bad to go to food, now if it is so bad why are other docs doing it???
 Sorry, I had to vent a lil...
