Yeah!!!

Don't be so hard on yourself. This is a huge adjustment and there is a lot to get used to. Stay strong and remember how bad you feel now to help you conquer it next time. A lot of id have had different diets both pre- and post- op so you should be fine with one little slip.

Robin. Congratulations. You were pretty before but you sparkle now! Great job!

My doctor didn't require a binder.< /p>

You look beautiful!

Hey guys-- just got home from shopping for a dress for my friends wedding. This is the first formal gathering I'll be attending since the surgery 6 mos ago. I'm pretty excited
So here's me (still about 26 lbs to goal)
And here's a before shot with my brother. Sorry I don't have too many full body before shots.

You look beautiful!

I finally broke through the stall I had for two weeks. I was stuck at 299 so glad to see progress this week. Thank you all for your support. It helped me to keep pushing. Back to work on Monday!

I drink theses, the blue one is good also

For me that pressure meant I was full. I wasn't always able to get 1/2 cup in me at every meal. My dr said that was fine to stop when I was full. As long as I got my Protein in first and was drinking all my liquids. Im 6mo out now and eat 1/2 cup no problem, but never more.

taken Friday night, ignore the bad hair, I was at the high school football game

Your day founds a lot like mine at work. I'm having my surgery in the morning and I worry about going back. My doctor gave me a four wk note so we will see what happens. Just stay strong. You have come so far. Hopefully you will find it easier than you think. Good luck!

Whole Foods has it. I saw it online too. Try Amazon. I think I saw it there too.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the Protein advice. My surgery is set for August 27th so I am reading up on what works/doesn't. I'm 42. I thought I wanted the band but my doctor convinced me that RNY was the way to go for my size and other health conditions. I am glad that is what I decided to go with. I started my 2 week Optifast diet today. So far it's okay but I'll see how I feel in a few days of being on this. I haven't found anything that I like yet. The chocolate premade shake had a metallic taste, I thought. Anyway, glad to be here and to see all the tips, and advice.
