Oh I can't wait!!!! You go girl!!! If you're ever in Vegas we can go shopping as a celebration and sip protein shakes! LOL

Has anyone lost too much weight after RNY ? I’m nearly 18 months out and currently weigh 52kg I’m fed up of people telling me I look too thin I eat constantly even have reverted back to eating things which are not good for you Been told to eat x6 times a day Never ever thought is struggle to put weight on

So my family is over for the evening and ordered pizza...and Coke. Ughhhh. I love them but I want to punch them and their metabolisms. I kid, I kid. LOL The smell of pizza id driving me crazy!!! It's not even good pizza either...it's Pizza Hut! Does this craving ever go away? I seriously feel like a friggin drug addict biting my nails waiting for them to put it away so I don't have to keep smelling it. I don't want them to stop living their lives because of me. But dang it, this is hard. I've stuck to my guns, haven't given in. I know this is an addiction, and like I've said before, I take it one meal at a time. I am so eager to change and put that part of my life behind me. Food never made me happy, it actually made me incredibly unhappy. Ok, vent over. I'll just sit here and sip my protein soup....🤪

Been there, done that.... 'The slimes' ahh remember it well! You will get the hang of eating a couple ounces and.....waiting. Now I stop before I am full....and about five minutes later I get the hiccups...it used to be a runny nose, sneezing and hiccups.... We all get better at gauging how many bites, be careful with some meats - I still can't tolerate chicken breast, too dry - I eat thighs. And lettuce - I can handle just a little lettuce now. I make salad w spinach, cucumber, a little radish and slice of tomato - but it was months down the road before that stayed down. I still am iffy with chocolate because sf chocolate pudding made me barf after surgery....

Thank you everyone for you thoughts. ❤ I have been in for my 3 month check up and have had anothe EGD done. They found that there was a small flap of scar tissue covering half the opening to the new attachment site of the intestines causing the pain as the food was passing through. They hv removed it and I am doing so much better now. I hv now lost 65lbs since surgery and 105lbs from the beginning Of this whole process. I'm so happy and much more healthy now.

I'm sorry I wanted to like this so so bad cuz it's full of very helpful information...but then I read this and snorted (double fontained) green tea out of my nostrils laughing so. dang. hard.

Honestly? You may not have this moment for several months. We stare so much at ourselves in the mirror, just waiting for those changes to flash us a neon sign saying "Here! Here look this is soooo much thinner!" but that's not really how it happens. It took a few months for me before I looked in the mirror and saw myself. And it wasn't I looked in there and said "Damn you fine!" or anything like that. In fact I looked practically deranged since I just come back from my first real run in several years. I was sweaty and gross and blotchy and covered in gnats because summer running sucks... but I really saw a difference. I was capable. That was my "aha!" moment. There are some people who drop 30lbs, but are still in the same sizes. They drop 60lbs and have only dropped 1 pant size. There are some people who drop 15lbs and drop 2 sizes. How we hold our weight is so very different from person to person. So if your looking for each little tiny change, you may miss the bigger picture. Instead, focus on some other aspects. Could you walk further this week than last? Did those stairs kick your ass as much as yesterday? I found this to be very very motivating!

You should be up and feeling better by then. My surgery was scheduled for the day after my birthday. Therefore, I could not celebrate like i wanted. That was fine too; I knew what needed to be done ScorpioC_RnY

You're doing great. That is hard for me also. But this is long term...we have to deal with being around the stuff all the time! And when we are at goal, once in a while, I may have a bite of pizza or a bite of cake. Sent from my moto g(6) play using BariatricPal mobile app

Got my VGS on January 18, 2018. My beginning weight was 431 pounds and today I weighed in at 260 pounds. Ive dropped from a 5x to a 2x and from a 58 waist to a 42. I've noticed when my wieght stalls my pants and shirts tend to get looser. I'm hoping that in another year I can hit my goal of 200 pounds. I've given away or donated so many clothes that are way to big. Ive had to buy 3 belts!!!! This surgery has changed my life for the better. Let's keep on keeping on.!!!
