Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 Welcome , I am a grandmother too. Shelby was diagnosed in February 2001 at three months old. She is now 19 months and getting into everything. This group has been great for help and support and helping you to cope. I am in the UK but you are more than welcome to email me if you feel you want to talk to another " grandma " , about anything at all. Shelby's mum is a single mother so I get involved a lot with Shelby's treatment. Luv Grandma Maggs (Maggs to my friends) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 Hi , Have you had your labs done? This is very important, as I had gotten sick from not eating right and not taking protein or supplements. Nutritionists who are savvy on RNY WLS are very hard to find, therefore, I would say (In my opinion) that they are a waste of money. Does your surgeon have follow-up care? I wouldn't have surgery if your iron or proteins are low. You won't heal well. Although dark circles, etc., are NORMAL for a period of time, it shouldn't still be that noticeable. you have lost an entire PERSON in weight, and need to make sure you are healthy. If you are craving carbos and sugar, my first thought is to increase your protein. Are you drinking protein shakes? How many a day? If not, get with vitalady immediately and order some samples from her to try and then drink, drink, drink. Take care, and congrats on all that weight lost! karen B.

I learned about this group from reading a reply on the AMOS boards. I have not lost any weight in about 7 months. I am about 30 pounds from goal. I did have the tummy tuck, and am scheduled August 28th for thighs, upper arms, and breast lift (all at once!). My eating is horrendous. While I have not been gaining - I have not been losing. Back into the carbs big time - bagels, cookies, ice cream, etc. Feeling very fatigued. Low iron levels - not sure if I'm getting enough protein. I would love to find a local nutritionist who understands WLS. I know I need a nutritional " overhaul " . I also have DARK circles under my eyes, which are driving me crazy - I look " haggard " .

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 Welcome, . This is a great group, and a good source of information. It's funny - my appetite increased greatly after my tummy tuck as well. I was so angry at myself, that I went through all that for a flat stomach, and then was eating myself into a weight gain. I've spoken with a few others who had the same reaction. I can tell you that forcing yourself off carbs for a few days, and concentrating on extra protein, water and exercise does really help decrease the cravings. It sounds easy, and I know it's not always, but it does help a great deal. Also, you're right about a nutritionist. Seeing someone is a very good idea. Where do you live? Maybe someone one the board can recommend a nutritionist in your area. One other point - you didn't say how tall you are, but your weight is pretty low, and it could just be that your body has found the weight it wants to stay at. Sometimes our personal goals are not realistic. I thought I would get much lower, but no matter what I do, this is where my body wants to stay. And so I've decided that this is it - and have been much happier since I've accepted that. Helene RNY 12/22/99 350/165 > I have not lost any weight in about 7months.
