Pannus Sabatoging weight loss
Jan 17, 2011
I am new to this forum, I have been reading the main forum however I see so many cruel remarks and so much negativity that I don't want to put myself out there. I ran across this forum and read a few posts, this is where I belong, everyone seems very kind and caring, and I am a lightweight, my highest weight was 256, on the day of surgery I was 234lbs. I am now at 180lbs. I am feeling very good about myself. I have some issues at time with getting enough protein in and remembering to take my vitamins. My problem is and I am wondering if any of you have had this problem? What can I do about my excess skin? I went shopping last Saturday to buy myself some jeans. I tried on a 14, the jeans fit everywhere except at the tummy, the hanging skin was just too much. So I bought the 16s!! Wow what a disappointment! I think this skin issue is sabotaging my size. I am shrinking everywhere else, I was wearing size 3-4x in shirts now I am in a large and depending how it is made an xlarge. I am quite busty. Anyway if any of you can offer any advice as to what I can do to control this flab until I am able to get Plastics I will sincerely appreciate it. I have my 6 month check up this month and I am thinking that I might talk to my surgeon to see if I can have the Pannus removed and go back in a year for a tummy tuck. Well thanks all!

I went to see my PCP this morning. I have BRONCHITIS and a UTI, my B/P was 150/108! My blood pressure has never been this high before even when I was 256lbs. I weighed in at 200lbs, my scale has been weighing me at 198 so somewhere I have picked up 2lbs! Not Cool!! I have been feeling bad for 3 weeks now and I haven't been as active as I usually am. Well now that I have some prescribed medication, I will begin to feel better.

Too sick, no fair for me
Oct 23, 2010
I have been sick with this cold for 3 weeks now. I feel too bad to take my children to the fair. Thank God for my niece who is stepping in my place to take these teens out there. I am going to see my PCP on Monday to get some relief for this ailment. I think it has turned into Bronchitis. My immune system is shot I know! This has never happened to me before, I have always been able to fight off infection. I have to blame the surgery however I still don't regret having it.

Protein powder and hot water
Sep 17, 2010
Ok I have found that chocolate whey proteim powder mixed SF hot chocolate and SF Caramel tastes really good. One problem, the proteim clumps terribly making the drink unbearable to drink. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this work or is there another brand of protein powder that doesn't lump up as badly? Any other recepies?

What are you eating today?
Sep 11, 2010
I am just relaxing on this Saturday afternoon after a hectic 58 hour work week. What to eat was my question, so I started with a Strawberry-Bananna smoothie mixed with vanilla protein. I was full after 4 ounces. For lunch I had 3 reduced fat wheat thins with a little chicken salad, just the bare tip had chicken salad on it. I get full so quick so I limit my intake because I hate voimiting and I am afraid of stretching my pouch. What to eat for dinner? Any suggestions anyone?

ughh
Aug 21, 2010
I had RNY surgery July 28,2010, my problem is when I try to get protein from real food I vomit. I get this churning sound in my pouch and the food causes chest pain as it is going to my pouch. After I eat I am totally miserable until I throw up. I am able to eat soft scrambled eggs and grits and chicken salad. Is this normal? Does anyone have any other food ideas? Should I be concerned?
