Lol, i won't miss not being able to wear high heels because no standard heel is meant to bear 300 lbs... And ditto the rubbing thighs... And back boobs... And booth seats in the restaurants...

I won't miss the expensive fashion choices in an effort to look good
I won't miss being winded walking across campus
I won't miss pretending to click my airplane belt & praying the flight attendant doesn't catch on
I won't miss worrying if I can fit in roller coaster seats, booths, movie seats, etc
I won't miss feeling like the odd man out when I go out with friends
MOST IMPORTANTLY I won't miss my outside not matching my inside!

I made a new goal today, I want to be down 200 lbs by my birthday. It's 93lbs in little over 4 months. But I want to be 22, in the 200's, and less 200. It's a numbers thing. But I think it's a good goal.

I haven't been in onederland since elementary school. Feels wonderful. Only 21.4 lbs to my personal goal!!

Went to the doctor today. I am 11 days post op. I lost 18 pounds since surgery and 45 since the start. He removed my bandages. And cleared for full liquids. If that goes will next week I can start puréed.

My wife has lost a lot of weight also. She has changed from a 42DD to a 38 Long

294. Down 5lbs this week.

It's as true now as when she first said it! :-)

Just keep in mind the first three months are the roughest of them all.... It will get better over time... I'm a year out and I still have some rough days... Try using 2oz bathroom cups helps with the Water and Protein intake ..... Helps put your mind at ease with a smaller cup

My doctor never suggested a calorie limit either. 11g of Protein is great. I have an Excel spreadsheet that has almost 100 grocery store, frozen, and fast food items that are all high in protein (and I'm adding to it all the time). Forum rules don't allow me to post it but I'd be glad to email it to you if post your email address or PM it to me. I've sent it to dozens of folks here on the forum. One of the biggest (and best) surprises I've had following my RNY has been the number of delicious, high protein options there are out there!!

Oh Em Gee... I am so with you on this. My boobs use to be the shit, now they're shot! Totally with you on that saggy ball thing. I damn near pee'd my pants laughing in agreement reading that.
Before my surgery I was rock'n a 44DD... I breast fed all 4 of my kids 21, 11, 9 and 2 all until they were 2 years old.
Now after surgery I'm no longer a 44DD... I'm stuck with these 35B's!!!
And hell yeah I said a B cup.... I ain't been a B cup since birth.
Talk about depressed! LOL
I gotta laugh to keep from crying..

Yes. I started covering about a year ago. We're Christian and I'm the only woman in our church to cover but I feel like the Holy Spirit made me do it. lol. A series of events happened and then me and my husband decided I had to stop fighting it and just do it! I'm not one of those people that think all women should cover but its what I have to do. :-)

That's awesome! I go back to work next week now I have a good idea on what to pack for lunch! Thanks!!!!

It was never did I imagine myself getting full off of two crackers with eggs on them lol

Sounds really good!

Yay that's good!

yay!!!

Today I made egg salad with one egg and I chopped up one oz of sharp cheddar cheese. Put some on two whole grain saltine crackers. Went down very very well. Didnt get stuck yay! Lol

9 months post op HW: 322 CW:191 GW: 165 total lost so far: 131lbs! Height: 5'9

My 15 year old son can now pick me up and hold me in his arms!!! What a great feeling!!!

This just happened to me too! I got my new scale Saturday and my husband was there when I tried it. I was 251 and he was 256. It had been FOREVER since I was less than him!

Ok first batch was a little flat. My second batch I added twice as much cream of tartar (1/2 tsp) and beated the egg white mixture longer until it really looked like a cloud.
Came out really good.
I made my 2 yr old grilled cheese sandwiches out of it and she killed them.
Top and bottom slice is 5 grams of Protein. I'm not really hungry right now so I'm eating mine with a turkey patty for dinner.

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 !

Well, it's not very scientific but if you ask me - some days you're just plain hungry! Happens to me two or three times a month. Never have been able to identify any particular pattern. It just...happens. For whatever reason, my body is telling me it's hungry. So I feed it. Healthy food. Hunger goes away. Life is good. I'm loving the new me!!
