I know what you mean. I've been all over the place looking and researching. This forum is Fantastic!!! I seem to live here and on Facebook!! LoL

I'm more focused than ever now to keep pushing sugars out of my diet though lol that's for sure...the less dependency I have I sugar come March 6th, the better I am gonna be in the long run...

Excited for you MarinaCC!!! Im really happy that I found this forum...I felt like I was alone in this because i don't know anyone who has had WLS so knowing that we are all out there getting this done...makes me so ready and excited for this

I think you will be okay. Don't stress. At my first consultation appt the PA told me that they had a patient that was pregnant at the time of surgery because she(unbeknownst to them) had unprotected sex the night before surgery. They of course did a pregnancy test on her just like they do on all female patients and it came out negitive. Anyways, the baby came out fine and everything. During the pregnancy she had to see a special nutritionist though. Best wishes for your two tiny precious bundles of joy! You can do this! It will all be okay. It always is. You just keep on keeping on. I wish the best of health to you and your babies.

I have a total of 220 to lose and I am down right now 8 months out today 160lbs. Only 60 more to go with ultimately keeping 200 off. After 6 months I slowed WAY down. But now I am working out, and hoping to keep the losing going. Started at 427 down to 265 right now. Let me know if there is any advice or motivating words needed!

Crystal light...lol...damn post-op liquid diet!

Consider shifting your focus. Forget about the scales and forget about measuring your success by the number on the scales. Instead focus that energy on following the protocol as closely to the letter as you can and continuing to get ALL of your Protein in every day. Every day that you do that is a success. Every, single, day.
Trust the process and trust your body to find its own way in its own time. Forget about some arbitrary weekly weight loss number. Absolute nonsense and a sure formula for frustration. The fact that your weight loss may be different from mine, or anyone else's, means absolutely nothing. There is no one size fits all. Doesn't exist. We're all individuals, all unique, and all different. There are countless variables.
There is no question that RNY works. There is no question that you have lost weight. There is no question that you will continue to lose weight. Relax. Deep breaths. Focus on doing your part. Congratulate yourself every day for being one step closer. Take the time to enjoy every delicious moment of the journey. The weight will take care of itself. Tough times never last, tough people - do.
You're gonna love the new you!!

I have a meeting with the Dr on Dec 14th. I'm hoping he starts me on the Optifast diet right away. If so, then I'd be looking at a Jan surg date. *fingers crossed*
