Weeks 5 & 6 Post-Op RNY Update

[@Rachel-ch8bt]

thanks for sharing your experience with birth control! everything seems to change after surgery!

25 pounds loss is really good. I have not been on birth control pills in over a decade, I remember how horrible I felt. Chicken works better than fish for me. I just tried pickles for the first time, it was so good lol. You are doing great with keeping track of all the new foods that you are trying. Keep going girl! You are doing great

Unfortunately, I don't even need birth control these days if you get what I am saying ;) I was just hoping they would help make my periods lighter and less crampy, but I would choose a heavy period with cramps any day over the way they made me feel. Glad you had a happy birthday:) I'm interested to hear how your neurologist visit goes. Thinking about you!

Seems like you're doing great! Hormones are cray cray!!! I had wanted RNY for the same reason as you but ended up sleeved. Oh well it's still working. I do have to be careful though!!! Glad things are going well!!! 💗😘💗😘🌈🦄

Thanks Jodi!! And Happy Birthday!! Leos bring so much love and light to this world :)

+Ondrea RNY aw thanks girly!!! You bring light to me though too!! 💗😘💗😘

You are doing great. If all us WLSers live to our 90's then I say the surgery did its job. I predict a bigger loss for you next week chica! xo di

[@ondrearny3614]

Thanks Di! I sure hope to see a bigger loss too :)

Hey beautiful! You're looking great ❣I still need to buy some large pickle spears so I can wrap them with deli meat & cheese for a meal/snack!

[@ondrearny3614]

I think the birth control had me legit thinking that I was pregnant. I had morning sickness and craved pickles so bad! I was about 5 weeks out and would eat the spears like a watermelon, avoiding the rind in case that was just a little too much for my pouch :)

I'm glad you're doing well with your weight loss. Wow I can't believe the lady in hospice had WLS in the 70s that's good and to live past age 90. That is why I'm having WLS to prolong my life. Are you feeling full with 800 calories daily?

[@ondrearny3614]

Yay for living longer and healthier :) And YES, thankfully, I am feeling quite satisfied after eating only 800 calories in a day. It's like a miracle because I was literally always hungry before surgery and would eat 3000+ calories in a day if I had my way.

[@princessluvvsg1967]

+Ondrea RNY Yeah I don't think I ate 3,000 calories but with my sweet tea it added up. I been trying to drink more water. I need to find some Isopure. Did you drink or like to those?

[@ondrearny3614]

+Princess Luv RNY Journey I have not tried Isopure but my local grocery store sells a similar type water based protein drink called Protein2O. I bought a couple as they were like 75 cents for a 16.9 oz bottle. Let's just say I still have them because I was not impressed. I've seen reviews that say that these are actually better tasting than Isopure. I am not a fan.

Hey sweets, you are doing so well, Keep up the hard work. Now I want some pickles, lol.

[@ondrearny3614]

I like pickles, always have. In fact, pickle juice was a legit drink in my family growing up, just like orange or apple juice haha!
