Topic: RE: the scale doesn't move
I've been so tired and have really struggled to find any food that I like at all. (I'm in the pureed stage) I know I've been eating more carbs than I should, but mashed potatoes are something that sits well and I like. I can't find any protein source I like. I've had several incidents of pureed meats not sitting well, and throwing up. Ugh!
I'll weigh in again tomorrow, hopefully I've lost another few, but if not- That's fine. I'll just have to wait it out.

I had RNY on 12/17. I lost 12 lbs. before surgery, 18 lbs after... for a total of 30 lbs!!

It is soooo frustrating when you stall. OMG I could just scream. How are you doing with your weight loss? I see you had your RNY on 12/11. How do you feel?
Topic: RE: I Sprung A Leak On My Left Side
You are not alone. I had Lap RNY on 12/9/08 (1 month ago today) and I developed a leak at 7 days post op. My drain was still in, however, when the leak was detected. So the drain is still in, 1 month later. Just waiting for it to heal and stop leaking.

I had a drain in for 1 week too and that does sound exactly like what I've been draining. In fact, the incision that held the drain still hasn't completely closed up and I still have a little leaking every day......sigh.....I'll be glad when it stops!

Topic: RE: the scale doesn't move
I hope the scale moves for you soon. I read recently (not sure if it's true) that either your body starts showing inch loss, or you see the number on the scale go down, but not both at the same time. Try not to get frustrated, it'll move again soon. **Remind me I said that when I hit my first stall.
