Wow have my taste buds have changed! I no longer like a lot of foods that I used to really gobble up. For example, I cannot stand french fries or pizza. I never thought I would see the day when pizza would just be plain disgusting. I might also add that I still don't really feel hunger. I am hoping to continue to make some progress and move forward.

Hi Guys. This is my first post. I am a teacher and I was hoping to get the procedure done prior to the new school year starting. I last met with my doctor 3 weeks ago and the staff at the office has yet to pull everything together and send it off to carefirst for approval. Excuses of everything from the fax machine being down to not having reports from specialist yet. Be gone as far as calling those specialists and offering hand pick up and deliver what3er documents. Heres the question. Once you received approval, how soon were you able to schedule your surgery day for? I have to go back to work right after Labor Day so I know I’m pushing it. Thanks, Kenny.

I am a little over 2 months post op and a bit of everything triggers me in terms of smell/nausea. I can eat chicken and cook it but some days I wan to vomit when I smell it. Seeing bread bun or burger buns make me feel gross. The smell of chipotle is just sickening; when pre-op I would have it twice a week. And it could vary from day to day

How dramatic, or unhealthy can weight loss in feet be? I am just 4 months post-op and lost 39% excess weight (based on BMI) and I have noticed me feet are slightly more slender, and a "bump" on my right foot (below that artery) is no longer annoying me so much I skip the shoe lace hole for long walks. I am still the same shoe size, just my feet seem slightly less "bulky." More importantly, I noticed what appears to be some potential loose skin developing on the outside bases on both my "pinky" toes. Does this become a problem down the road? I know about loose skin, but loose skin in feet would seem like more of a problem. I have always had athlete foot problems, so this concerns me if it gets "worse."

Thank you!Visualize it. Really think about it , what you will look like, smiling, posing for photos with friends, on a balcony in a white dress in Jamaica at sunset, torches everywhere... Or sitting on a couch with a cozy now oversized Celtic knit sweater on the couch reading and drinking tea That's what I did I swear. Helps me focus. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

Hi all. Had my one week check up today. Down ten pounds, hydrated, doing well pain wise and tolerating liquids plus ice pops cottage cheese and was advised I can now try egg whites and veges. Feels like a victory. One week ago I was on these boards crying and ready to back out of the surgery-terrified. So glad I listened to so many of you and stuck with it. My life is changing for the better already. I wish the same for all of you.

I agree, I have been contacting them daily. I am a cash patient. I feel that they are just pushing me thru. Just really nervous. My insurance has a bariatric exclusion. I know if I went through insurance every thing would be checked.

Welcome to the joy of post RNY life. I know the feeling. When I do have a BM, it's so hard I'm left feeling like Richard Simmons in a prison shower. I hope you find some relief.

Moderate cardio, but 6 days a week in the weight room and the sleeve is doing it's thing.... everything is tightened up like I needs too....I recommend everyone go easy on overdoing cardio and get in the weight room..... There's an app called JETFIT that let's you select workouts based on experience and tolorence.....get strong and healthier.... 7 weeks Post op....

Maybe 6 weeks is a short time, im 20 weeks post op rny and the results are starting to be noticeable for people, im down 70 lbs Sent from my SM-N920C using BariatricPal mobile app
