Ok so Monday will be 1 month since having the RNY and today I finally had an ah-ha moment.  For the past couple days I have felt like nothing can stay down and I constantly have to go throw up.  I am drinking and eating way too fast. I read a previous poster say that and then it dawned on me.  So now I will go much slower even with the pureed food.

Weight hasn't really moved and I am okay with that.  I went for a walk yesterday in the park with my friend.  Tomorrow I go sign up for the gym and I am totally excited about that. 

As far as a job right now, I did get a job offer but I don't think it is for me.  So today I went back to a place I used to work at in college and they have a new store opening up in a couple of weeks.  I went and filled out an application, got an interview, went through the 1st round of testing.  They were very delighted that I used to work there so hopefully all goes well. 

Life in the relationship department is blah right now lol.  So just taking one day at a time.  I am happy with my results thus far and can't wait to see more.  Stay blessed everyone

Good Luck with the job!!! I think I eat too fast too and last night I  had this awful feeling, like something heavy was sitting on my chest. I threw up and felt so much better!!! So now I know what happens when I eat too fast, so I'm slow chewing everything now!!! Stay Blessed also :)

Oh and also, a friend of mine who has also had surgery just called me about possibly getting a job where she works. She said they just hired someone and they just never came back so there is a spot open.  So maybe instead of one, I may get 2 jobs!

 i know how you feel...i think it was about 3 weeks after i had surgery i got a job interview for a job i really really wanted.  And i got that job so this process of losing weight for the last month has been spent setting up a new store and training for the opening which unofficially happened yesterday but tomorrow is the grand opening.  i have felt so happy losing the weight and happy getting the job...i hope you feel the same way i do..lol  good luck on the job and the weight loss and exercise and all that.

Thanks so much for the support and encouragement.  Right now just want to get a job, don't really care what it is as long as I'm comfortable doing it and getting paid.  The money will definitely help with getting to the gym and possibly getting a personal trainer. Thanks again everyone!!!

Sounds like you are doing great. Good luck with the job(s)! As far as weight loss, it was a great help for me to use the graph here on OH. Watching that line go steadily down kept me encouraged through those inevitable times when loss stalled or weight even went up slightly. I knew to expect those things and took it in stride for the most part. Sounds like you did your research too and are "going with the flow". Keep up the good work!

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference...
