sleeping patterns - I notice mine are a bit off lately.  I've read quite a few posts where people mention being on sleep aids.  Is this something common that can happen after WLS?  If so, why is that?...

A new year - It's a new year, but I'm struggling to go excercize.  My emergency trip to Scotland followed by the holidays really threw me off balance and carbs have crept back into my eating ha...

Learning to ride a bike? - I'm 46 and never rode a bike.  I'd like to learn.  I tried once but got nowhere.  I'm only 4' 11" and my inside leg is only about 24-25" so regular bikes are hard for me to try and...

Music to work out to. - I need all the encouragement I can get, and I find listening to music (like most folk) makes it easier to do what I'm supposed to.   I've been listening to  Black eyed peas (E.N.D....

What a cheek! - Had a friend visit who I hadn't seen since before my surgery 4 months ago.  (she doesn't know about the RNY)   Not only did she not mention the 40 odd pound loss since I last saw h...

Update the signature line - I can't remember how I did it the first time and I want to add stuff to it.

Anybody have trouble with brussels sprouts? - I love them but they kind of sit in my pouch like a lead weight which is weird because I can eat raw carrots, steak, celery..you name it but for some reason I can't do well cooked ...

Bone Density Scan- anyone had one? - My surgeon's nurse said it would be a good idea to get a baseline done and I agree it makes sense to see that I'm taking enough calcium and not leeching from my bones.  Presuming t...

Taste bud change and protein shakes - Just have to say those changes can occur anytime.  I have read a lot about people having protein shake issues.  Couldn't relate, because my taste buds didn't change after surger...

Loose stools - I started off with constipation for about two months after surgery.  Now, I have loose stools every day.  Sometimes it's just like water.  I go a couple of times in the am and that...

is this dumping? -Bit gross- - I think it is but would like 2nd opinion.  Before I headed to Scotland I needed stool softeners and even then going to the toilet was hard.  After a couple of days in Scotland ...

Need help getting my jeans on! - Anyone know which brand of jeans I should buy? I am an apple shape.  Weight goes on the top half of my body first and leaves my butt and thighs for last.  Losing is naturally oc...

What's the nicest thing your partner ever said to - My DH of almost 21 years is not good with flowery words although he does say "I love you" a lot but that doesn't impress me much. No, it's when he is clumsy in trying to express...

my fingernails are really soft - I'm taking all the vits that the doc told me to, but I'm wondering if I'm lacking something.  My nails were never strong, but I've noticed recently they seem softer than normal.  W...

Back Home - After almost three weeks away, I'm back home.  Mum isn't doing well and I don't know what the next few months will bring.  It's been very stressful.  I've watched my mother in dist...

Home again - After almost three weeks away, I'm back home.  Mum isn't doing well and I don't know what the next few months will bring.  It's been very stressful.  I've watched my mother in dist...

Dragging HIS butt to the gym. - LOL, I asked my normal weight hubby to join the gym with me to kind of force me to go and get me started.  To be supportive.  He agreed.  What's funny is it's me forcing him to go,...

wondering if the doc gave me a bigger pouch - I have been able to drink like normal pretty much from the get go.  Never sipped.  Always took normal swallows.  I can take 5-6 good gulps in a row and not be bothered by it.  I do...

Heading to Scotland - Flying out on tuesday because my mum is in the hospital.  Very stressful.  Had similar incident about the same time last year.  Almost lost her this time.  She broke her hip, had a...

incontinence. - I did a search and most references to this indicate problems before WLS not after.  For some reason at 7 weeks out I'm having an issue.  There is no pain or discomfort.  Is this un...

First day at the gym - Spent 45 mins on the treadmill -walking- at 3.2 and no incline.  My legs hurt already!  Boy am I out of shape.  Enjoyed it though, it's a brand new gym with lots of great equipment...

If you start off slow.... - If you don't drop weight quickly in the beginning, will the weight loss become even harder later on (after 6 month mark) or is it more likely to come off steadily for a longer peri...
