Today: bought size 18 jeans, size xl sweatpants from the regular side, and last night I took a bath for the first time in forever. I measured my hips and I've lost 20 inches.

I just realized today that I no longer hate my body. RNY 6/3, 65 pounds down. Now that's something.

4 mini turkey meatballs, covered with roasted garlic marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese. Yummy!

Fellow Junies-- I need advice. I'm battling serious head hunger lately. It feels like I'm ravenous, sometimes right after eating. I'm getting all my protein and doing well otherwise. Help!

RNY June 3rd and 60 pounds down. For the past 3 days I've had strong head hunger--I feel like I need to eat every 2 hours. Almost insatiable. I'm getting tons of protein. What's going on?

Could be PCOS.

RNY June 3rd. Down 47 pounds. Here's my before and current pics, before is on the right.

I'm scared of hair loss too...if stress is a factor I'm more than screwed. My mother is dying of cancer (hospice starts this week), I'm moving, and changing jobs. And that's just in the next month.

Boca vegetarian chicken patty, topped with colby jack cheese, refried beans, and chipotle salsa. 20+ g protein!

LOL!!

I'm exactly where you are. 9 weeks and 38 down. My clothes are loose but not enough to buy yet. I'm afraid of feeling crushed when I haven't dropped in sizes much.

It will end. I'm 2 months post op, and I started that way right up until a week ago. This week, something changed and I'm feeling full quickly and my intake has dropped quite a bit. Nothing is wrong, it's just part of healing. I had to measure everything since I didn't feel full.

Flat Out flatbread pizza! 1/2 a whole grain flatbread, pizza sauce, mozzarella, turkey pepperoni. Broiled until crispy. It was delicious.

Just wanted to share-- I had RNY June 3rd. My post op appointment with my regular doc was today. My cholesterol dropped 65 points, and my A1C shows that I'm no longer pre-diabetic!
