I have always had a high sex drive and even more so now with the weight loss. My poor Hubby (and poor me)...he's the opposite...he doesn't usually want or initiate it!

So far my favorite meal was a Lean Cuisine Turkey with mashed pot and gravy. I tried the meatloaf dinner but the meat was too chewy...the darn thing lasted me 3 meals though!! Hey, at least we are cheap dates! LOL

So, I'm about 7 weeks post op and my CPAP keeps waking me up at night.. guess I may need the pressure reduced but I am not supposed to go back for a sleep study until I lose 50# or 6 months out..whichever comes first. What has been your experience with this? Is anyone totally off their CPAP?

Im 2 years post op and I hit a bump in the road so 3 days ago I started my liquid phase diet to start my weight loss again and im down 5 pounds!! Ive also been hitting the gym like crazy! Thank baby Jesus Lol

Went for 3 month post-op and down 74 pounds! Dr. was so encouraging and said to watch all carbs (bad) and set goal of 30 more pounds by 6 month appointment ...feeling like I can do this!!

Thank you everyone. Sometimes you don't see the changes in the mirror but you see them in pictures lol

So today I am 56 lb lighter starting weight 277

Date of surgery Nov 6, 2013

today 221 whoop whoop I see a big difference I am loving my RNY

still have 70 lbs more to go but figured I love to share my changes. I am also wearing a size 10 to 9

so i think its important for everyone (i was guilty of freaking out about my stall as well =(. ) to remember that stalls really are part of WLS and they are a required thing. I think its easy to think of it like this: Lets say your running a marathon, after running (or in my case crawling) for 10 miles or so your not doing nearly the speed you were when you started right? You maybe stop, take a breather and rest up a moment. Then your recharged and ready to take on another 10. Your body needs the same break as your metabolism catches up to the new weight and requirements your body has.
Think about the changes that are going on inside your body. You are not just losing weight. Your losing body mass. This is great however it also means that everything is changing. your Fluid volume needs are less now, your preload and afterload (forces your heart pumps against) are different. Heck even the hormone levels in your body have to be adjusted. These stalls happen and are a GOOD thing.
So lets look at what happens when you have stalled for 2 weeks and your ready to jump back on the losing bandwagon. Switch it up. Lets say you have been walking 1 mile 3 times a week or maybe you have gotten complacent and are not walking much at all. Guess what? nows the time to start. Pick up your shoes and start walking. Increase your caloric burn and while your add it adjust your diet. Are you eatting enough Protein? If not your not doing yourself any favors. Same with adjusting how often you eat. BOOST your metabolism!!! Grab a yogurt in the morning, walk in your favorite mall and grab a new pair of shoes because you deserve it. Holy crud you just did 10 laps in the mall and you found a TO DIE FOR shirt on sale at JCPenny's!! Now hit up the house and grab a high Protein snack! mix up your routine to "trick" your body into getting back on the losing track. Remember that stepping on the scale every day is not a good thing for you! Stay off it for a few days (like 7) and then give it a shot. Also remember to weight yourself at the same time. I do it after my morning shower while i am /cough naked /cough and usually around the same time. This way i have a more accurate assessment of how i am doing.
Last but not least, Celebrate where you are. You have come so far, and you will continue to go farther. Love who you are and the friendships you have developed.

Down 65kgs and it's amazing haha

Every one should pass out the icky Protein Drinks to the friends or family who have made negative comments about "taking the easy way out"

I'm not a fan of the strawberry. The vanilla Dannon light is much better.
