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?

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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:)

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.

If you drink that over time you're okay, if no, you are wasting it:( like it was said we only absorb 30g at a time. I was double scooping to get all my protein at once and my doctor informed me of the error in my ways. Good luck

So I've been sick since Thursday! Pushing through it because I don't know what I can take. Today the hubby got fed up with my symptoms and went to cvs and while on google looking to see what I can take he brought home a medicine with the A word in Tylenol and musinex. Took it. But I'm freaking out on if I took to much how will I react etc. haven't taken any meds in over a year. Anyone else sick? Anyone else have medicine issues? Should I have taken less of a dose. My hubby talked to pharmacist and she advised for me to see my doctor. Ugh! Sick & tired!

That's hard and I wish I had better insight on how to help the situation, but just love on him. Time spent apart is hard on any marriage and to add the insecurity of wls Hugs

Okay, I've had this unspoken goal in mind. I'm turning 30 Sept 8th. I would LOVE to be 199-200 on my birthday. I am 237lbs today just as I have for the last 2 weeks. So before everyone says how I can do it I want you to know I've averaged 6-10lbs a month for the last 3 months so 37lbs in 2 months is such an unrealistic goal to me. But I'm sooo close and sooo far away So I'm putting out there! Today marks 2 months away! I'm starting at step one. cheese sticks deli meats Protein drinks and bars and turkey, chicken, tuna ONLY I'm going to do 60 min of Zumba for 5 days a week. I just got back from vacation and did very good!!! My surgiversay is 7/25 for ONE year. I may be setting myself up with an unrealistic goal but I know I won't be disappointed if I turn 30 at 236:) I'm still in a far better situation than myself one year ago. But if I say my goal out loud (plus my hubby knows and supports and thinks I can do it! Lol) out loud should keep me moving, burning, and losing! Fingers crossed for a 30, flirty and thriving birthday! Hw 389 sw 359 today 237 my bday 9/8

Yeah I was seen in urgent care

Headache No urination Fatigue White tongue .... Too late! But that's when I went after 2 bags of IV I felt almost 100% better Better safe than sorry, go

So today is my birthday. The big 3-0 for me. When I set the goal I was 237lbs today I weigh in at 219. That's 18lbs down in 2 months which is more i was averaging. So maybe another 2 months down and ill be at 199!!!!! I'm super stocked and very proud of how far I've come.

Normal! I did get dehydrated. I felt lousy. I had no energy. Even taking taking a shower put me back at 0! But I must say after I went to urgent care and got IV I felt better not 100% but better I got 2 bags of IV and just got to lay there I walked out better. Handle what you can and ask for help when you need to. It was major surgery.

My mom got a fake one. The surgeon just pulls the skin to simulate a belly button. It looks fake and my opinion my moms is too high to even try to look natural. But what does my opinion count my belly button is wayyyy lower than it should be LOL
