Its a flu shot, not small pox vaccine. Suck it up and get it.

I am down 98lbs and I have a big problem with this. I've also started horseback riding again and after a 90 minute lesson my behind and crotch area feels bruised for days. I'm hoping it will lessen over time as my body gets use to having less padding.

Thanks for your reply. At my 1 month check up my pre-albumin level was only 15 (they want it greater then 20) so they had me go from 80gms of protein to 125. At 3 months it was 17 and at 6 months it was at 19. So its steadily increasing but they want me to stay at the 125 until it reaches over 20. I honestly shoot for…

Click is now available in decaf!! Its yummy and I love it!!

Glad to hear its a pretty common occurrence. I am going to the beach at the end of this week and I'm little nervous about being out in the sun all day. I just picked up a case of propel too drink on the beach.

We are bunch of good looking people!!

I would plan on not being able to eat anything there. Take a RTD protein shake with you. You can go to the bar and ask for a cup of ice. If anyone ask you can tell the its a mudslide. I had my husbands annual copmany party right around that same time frame and aisde from mashed potatoes there wasn't a thing I could eat. It…

Yes. I started doing Kettlebell classes and that quickly broke that plateau. I haven't been in 2 weeks though :-/ I think I need to get a DVD b/c the classes just are not at a convenient time for me.

I hit wonderland last month (May)!!!! I also broke down and bought some "NEW" clothes. I've been buying my clothes from consignment shops or getting hand me downs. I just haven't had any luck lately (I'm picky) so I went to TJ max. I was so excited when NOTHING I picked up from the Women's department fit me at all and just…

I was taking protein in at about 80gms per day within 1 month of surgery. My protein levels on my labs were low so they bumped me up at 125mg of protein a day. I am almost 6 months out and I lost hair like crazy. Thankfully my hair is super thick to begin with. No one would know I've lost as much hair as I have but I know.…

I think this month will be a challenge for me. I think I'm hitting my first plateau. I really need to get my butt in gear and get back to the gym!!

Hi everyone! I am now almost 3 months out from surgery. I'm down 43lbs since surgery and 61 since my initial consult. I had been working out with a personal trainer but then I got injured. My protein levels have been low so its taken a long time to heal. My NUT bumped up my protein intake to 125 gms a day and its a…

My pre-albumin levels where low on my first month labs so my NUT jacked up my protein to 125gm a day. I can't get near that many grams of protein without eating around 900 calories. They haven't actually given me a calorie restriction. I guess Ill ask at my next appointment. I will say that the first week that I took my…

You hit it on the head with who is and isn't supportive!!

She is forever on a diet, but she is no where near qualifying for surgery. If I had to guess she is probably around a size 12, maybe a 14.

I am 28 and just had RNY surgery. You really find out who your friends are. Real friends admire your courage, and support you. Others make snide remarks, question everything that touch your lips, and proclaim that the 5lbs that they just lost is a bigger accomplishment then the 15 that you did. My mother-in-law is going to…

Hi! I'm new to the group and to WLS. I just had RNY on 1/16/12 and I am already down 15 lbs plus 18 before surgery. I am going back to work on Monday. So my February goal is to figure out how to drink all of my water and get all of my protein in while working 12hrs days. Oh and to really start a gym routine now that I am…

Hi! I am 28 yrs old. I had the RNY on 1/16/12. I am amazed at how easy my recovery was. It was nothing compared to my gallbladder surgery lat year. I am just about a month out, and am enjoying soft food. I lost about 18lbs before surgery and since surgery I've lost almost 15lbs. I got back to work on Monday. I am a…

I had RNY on 1/16/12. Feel free to add me as a friend, but put a note in the request that you are a fellow WLS person.
