dottednails got a reaction from kristy3k in How can I give up my addiction and adhere to the strict diet?
I agree with all the other posters ! But I would also like to say that for many people how you think of food after rny changes. For once in my life I look at food and think what do I need to get in in order to make my body function correctly I am never hungrey and eating dose become almost a chore at times. You will think way more about food after rny everyday I think what do I have to eat today I think about what is the best to eat because if I can only eat 1 cup of food per mealI am going to make sure it is something I really enjoy and will be good for me. I have a good friend who had lap band and she sneaks food all the time the slider foods she eats would never fly after rny I would be so sick she says all the time she wishes she had rny. It is a way different tool then lap band. You will have to talk with your doctors about what can fill the need to eat . I know weighing my self has become more of a addiction and working out .i have become way more social since losing 120 pounds so that helps with some of the depression issues I had before. Best if luck in which ever path you chose !

dottednails got a reaction from LacedUp in When was the weight loss noticeable?
I had my rny in November and by family christmas everyone could tell that I had lost and I was down about two sizes. I would say that I have lost about one size a month pretty evenly started at at 28 and am now ten months out and wearing a size 12/14. Everyone will notice your face first. People don't recognize me anymore just today my son said to me that one of his friends asked if his dad got remarried because he did not recognize the woman that picked him up. When my son told him it was me he was like wow your mom is so skinny now that was a great way to end the day ! So it takes a few months but it goes pretty quick. Best of luck !

I had my babies on Monday. Eva (4.07lbs) and Aida (3.13lbs). They were born at 34 weeks after my Water broke. No problems except learning how to eat and gain weight!

Thanks girls, this is the most helpful people have been on this site. I know my weight loss has been good but I just feel like I should be doing better, and the surgeon has pounded into my head that I haven't lost alot lately so that's in the back of my head too

Oh man that is a hard one. A month is short period of time and flys by. The start of pre school only happens once. Best in luck in whatever you decide

dottednails reacted to Tamj77 in How about some NSVs!?!?
Went to the park with my kids yesterday & was able to play with them on all the equipment, even go down the slide! They loved it that I played & could keep up with them. They kept talking about it all night.
It was a GREAT Mother's Day!!!

I was able to wear a size 50 dress pants today. This is a huge milestone for me as I started out at size 70 in the waist. I am so super excited.
