  • I was sitting in a meeting and I crossed my legs for the first time in my life! It felt strange to have one leg on the other side of the other... so much so I totally lost my train of thought and it distracted me. I would cross and uncross my legs just to feel what t was like. I wanted to tell someone but I decided not. It…

  • Its happend to me, for sure. But, as you mentioned, your cravings are mostly pshycological. Realizing that is half the battle. The other half is not giving in to it. The psychological aspects of WLS is my biggest concern. Granted I'm only 8 weeks out from RNY but, think about how long its taken to get to your peak weight…

  • I had my RNY April 11th. Every activity is an opportunity for exercise. Even if it's baby steps, you can always take one (or two) more steps just for the sake of it. I have a gym available to me through my work, for free! But, most days my schedule is so busy and I just want to go home to my family. I've had to get out of…

  • I agree, the first first few hours in recovery sure felt uncomfortable but, it 's major surgery. I felt like throwing up but didn't. It all passed quickly. I was at home the next day. The roughest time for me was about 48 hour after surgery. There was some very uncomfortable pressure in my abdomen. If this happens don't be…
