4/22/02 Well yesterday I did my one month measurements and again I am down 14 7/8 total for two months 29 3/4. I weighted today and lost only 8 pounds total for two months 57 pounds. What's with this 8 pounds. I was hopeing for more am I wrong the average is 10 pounds a month. With so much the frist two months. I hope I am not going to be a failure. I still eat very little taking my vitamins and tring to get my water down ( not the 64 ozs yet) what more can I do. I am going to hit the workout place tomorrow. We live in a very small town so don't have a big club. Just have the toning tables. But they have to help.I am feeling wonderful other wise. Just gotten sick two times, boil egg, burger king broiled chicken breast. I would still do it over again with the results I have had so far.

Sharon, I can't eat boiled eggs either! I am also 7 1/2 weeks post op open RNY (Feb 22) and there isn't much you can eat on the run. I ate a boiled egg and I hurled big time. I make a little egg salad with lo-fat mayo and a little salt and pepper, that is the only way they go down. Sometimes I take a cup of yogurt in the car, or a piece of string cheese. I find I am terribly thirsty in the morning, so I eat a sugar free popsicle on the way to work. Mainly, I wait to get to work and eat cottage cheese with some pineapple chunks, my favorite breakfast. I have lost 47 lbs so far, I hope other than the egg incident, you are doing well too! MMC

I am so happy today I can finally drink water and it not hurt. It has always hit like a rock and hurt. I am almost 6 weeks out.
