Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 - I'm there with you, girlfriend! Open proximal RNY, no food issues, no suger issues, no malabsorption that I know of (labs are fine). Healthy as a horse (thank God). (But maybe, just maybe a taddd bit of malabsorption would make my JOB of USING AND MAINTAINING MY TOOL easier.) WLS, better eating habits, more exercise, water, protein, blah, blah, blah, that's my mantra. Nothing in life is EASY!! Just for faith, I hold onto the thought that even though I'm proximal, there is always a VERY slight degree of malabsorption (even though my WLS surgeon said otherwise). Oh well, (she smiles) I am MUCH healthier than I was 22 months ago! And so it goes ... Bobbie Anchorage << It really just comes down to physics. Less in - more out. Take in less calories than you burn off. Well, actually there are certain ways around some of this. Low carb eating for one. My hubby can take in thousands of calories daily and still lose in insane amount of weight. I had always thought that the " malabsorption " that we are supposed to have with RNY would do the trick......but apparently not......for me anyways. I don't see any evidence of there being any malabsorption for me! >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
