For those of you about to have your surgery....take measurements! I had surgery on 5/5 and have lost 47 pounds. I recently hit a stall when I started working out. I know I'm probably gaining muscle and losing size but because I didn't take beginning measurements I have nothing to compare it to. Just thought I'd share [emoji4]

Definitely! There are so many ways to track your progress! Use them all! Scale, body fat %, measurements, photos, NSV

Good job CattMyst! That is a great accomplishment! I'm sure your surgeon is very happy about that! My surgery date is also August 7th. I wish you the best of luck in your journey!

Congrats on getting clean! And your new family! Life has handed you a lot, and I'm proud of you for trying to get things straightened out. Usually a bypass is a one-and-done type procedure. A skilled surgeon can evaluate you to see if there is any "tweaking" that can be done, but it's better for you to focus on non-surgical options. Your stomach is still small, and your bypass is still in place. Those will continue being helpful (probably why you didn't gain ALL the weight back and more!). But at this point, it's time to get back to basics. Protein, vitamins, water, nonstarchy veggies, limited fruit and starchy veggies. No sugar or white flour. Weight loss won't be as easy as it was the first year after surgery, but it IS possible! Good luck!
