I can cross my legs under a table in a booth at a restaurant.

Ny&Co also has jeans in different lengths and goes up to an 18.

I'll chime in also. I'm almost six months post op RNY. Very few foods make me sick. The only one that does every time is broccoli. It always comes back up. I can do broccoli Soup because it's more or less pulverized but raw or cooked broccoli in any other form doesn't jive with me. Every doctor seems to have different rules. That doesn't mean any doctor is right or wrong. Follow the plan your doctor laid out for you. I'm allowed to eat any food I can tolerate at this point. The only real "rule" I was given was a minimum 60g Protein and 64oz Water a day. I'm also allowed to have a drink or two if I want. I can also take NSAIDs as long as I stay taking my Nexium. No two people lose weight the same. Don't compare yourself to someone else. My surgeon said that typically you lose 10% of your remaining excess weight per month. A person with a higher starting weight will lose more per week or month than someone with a lower starting weight. Look at the percentage not total pounds lost. You'll save yourself a huge headache.

I'm struggling with this too. I also feel like now I'm wearing an oversized skin suit. If I bend forwards my stomach just hangs. My arms are bad too. Before I looked awful clothed and naked. Now I look good clothes and still awful naked.

I had my first glass of wine about 5 months out. Got tipsy really quickly but also sobered up very quickly. Found that food and water help.

This may be TMI but anyone still having problems with diarrhea? No matter what I eat or drink I'm going a few times a day. And by going I mean GOING. Ugh.

I've stalled for 3 weeks then dropped a bunch of weight. It happens. Watch your carbs and up your protein and water. Usually has worked for me.

I eat way too much cheese. It's a wonder I'm not bound up, lol. I think the coffee is what saves me lol!

Lunch was some plain Greek yogurt, a handful of mixed berries and some protein granola. So good!

Ate so much junk food this weekend. Woke up and was finally in onederland this morning!!!!!

Wanted to be under 200 for Halloween. Nope. But so close!!! HW 277.0 SW 270.1 CW 202.8 RNY 6/6/13

I went to an amusement park last night and didn't have to suck it in to fit in any rides.

Going to PF Changs tomorrow for dinner. Never been there. What's good for us to eat?

Definitely depends on your doctor. I was not tested for nicotine. I was very upfront about the fact I used e-cigs to quit smoking tobacco. They asked what "dose" of nicotine I was using (6mg) and were okay with that.
