Great job on the numbers!!!! At 113 the amount of skin is probably minimal:)

My insurance will at 2 years post. But realistically I may try at 3 years. I'm just not liking this skin situation what so ever.

My biggest scare about RNY was skin! I thought I'm young shouldn't be too bad right? Wrong! I have the biggest apron ever! And if it wasn't bad enough..... It's so uneven and it's noticeable (to me of course I guess I hide it well) Grant it was gigantic at a HW of 389lbs. And to think I could ever really get rid of this was unrealistic. Don't get me wrong, I would have the surgery again in a heart beat! But this is something I should braced myself for better :/ I wear spanks and other brands of "holder inners" but every day I see "it" and cringe. Anyone out there with me?

I had mirena placed by choice couple months pre op and I'm 18 months now and love it!!! No problems ever. Didn't gain weight pre op due to it and nothing interfered post op. Best decision ever. I'm an active mirena lover

^^thank you! I will try this for sure!!!

I bought canned chicken breasts from costco, and I did okay with it. I love chicken but the discomfort is not worth it.

Never heard that.... Thanks for the top!

Horrible feeling! Hope you feel better soon!!! I think I'll stay off chicken for awhile

I love seafood! Shrimp, yes please:)

A Hershey's kiss is 22 calories. At 3 is 66 calories. Watch your food intake. Don't stop moving. And don't let 3 turn to 30 You aren't the only cheater here. I was also given the "second chance" but we are all human. Most important advice I can give is... Find out if you love it or need it. If you love it, okay! If you need it then find out why. Surely 3 kisses isn't enough to send you to a therapist and be considered self sabotage.

I am 16 months post op and still have a hard time eating chicken ugh! I get so frustrated with myself (kinda funny) I brought cut up grilled chicken and have eaten 3 bites since 12 (my lunch hour) ate one got stuck.... At one at 1:30 got stuck.... And one now. I'm in pain watery mouth such discomfort. But I find it funny it's still happens to me. I'm hungry!!!! Lol I need to be better aware of smaller smaller bites and chew chew chew. Just ranting and raving at my own misfortune.

Thank you. I do feel like a new person, but still struggle with seeing the old person. It's a hard hard hard struggle. Happy holidays:)

So I've been MIA lately. I didn't realize my old RNY moved to new place. Finally downloaded the new one, and I'm back at it. I'm still truckin to get to my goal. I'm losing so very slowly but not gaining!!! My life has recently endured so much change my head still spins lol but I've been upping my Protein and dealing with the gas side effects it brings. I've upped my walking and hoping to get back to a gym routine after thanksgiving. Highest weight 389lbs (that number still makes me cringe!) Day if surgery 359lbs Today 217lbs Down 179lbs My personal goal 199lbs I'm 16 months post op.

I want to try this! I've had a HARD last 3 months due to some personal life crap. I've lost weight but no means how I wanted. No gym for like a month even then I wasn't doing what I needed to. Eating poorly when I could eat. Not enough water..... Just all around bad! I don't feel full or hungry. I need a major reset! Still haven't broke 200 yet. I'm struggling big time and need some new motivation. May start this tomorrow.
