I also was at a stall until yesterday...yay.. I'm in a new weight bracket. So happy to say farewell to the 300's...forever and ever. I will never again be a 300+ pound woman! Preop weight 389 current weight 298...that's 91 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

If any of y'all want to send those clothes my way I wouldn't object. Lol i can't imagine having big bags of clothes to give away. It was very hard to find clothes size 34 that didn't look like tents or have butterflies print or something else that looked like an old lady would wear to Wednesday night bingo. So i just really haven't shopped for clothes in a long time. Preop weight 389 current weight 301...that's 88 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

The past three weeks I have been developing huge bruises on my legs and arms. They don't really hurt. I haven't been hitting into anything, the just show up at random. The are on the lower leg mostly but a few have shown up on my lower arm. They are very large about the size of a lemon, some bigger, some a tad smaller. I'm taking all my Vitamins including Iron. Any idea if it maybe surgery related? Preop weight 389 current weight 304...that's 85 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

Caffeine depletes nutrients that you are struggling to get into your body. It causes Water retention yet dehydrates you. Caffeine is not essential so why pollute your Buffy with it. I drank several cups of coffee a day before surgery. Since I've invested in getting my life back and beginning this journey with WLS I have given up anything and everything toxic, including caffeine.

Well your hair must be very heavy cuz you are a little thing! Preop weight 389 current weight 304...that's 85 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

I interviewed for a new position at my job today (a promotion). It felt incredible to fit all the way in the chair. I was able to focus on the questions instead of wondering if the chair was about to break from under me. I gave a great interview and feel hopeful of the results.

Mel....you're tiny! Preop weight 389 current weight 304...that's 85 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

I'm kinda going thru the sane thing, Mel. It was so hard to pass up cake at work yesterday. I wanted to give up so bad. But some how I got the strength to pass it up. I often dwell on my program and think I'm not doing it right. It becomes an obsession at times. (actually every waking moment). I'm constantly reviewing the counts from my fitness pal. Reading and rereading articles on the Web about wls. I think I'm loosing my mind! Preop weight 389 current weight 304...that's 85 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

What an incredible idea! Kudos to you both the fab idea as well add the weight loss Preop weight 389 current weight 304...that's 85 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

Best advice I have been given was to use my fitness pal. I so love that app. Really helps me track all my intake including carbs and Protein. Preop weight 389 current weight 304...that's 85 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

That's awesome! Happy for you. Preop weight 389 current weight 304...that's 85 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

I didn't think of that. Thanks. I did get up at 3:50 am this morning. I accomplished the hill I used to only dream of walking to...today i actually ran up the sob, down, and did the same for a total of 9 times! Don't feel so bad today. I actually am feeling very proud of myself and no longer loathe that dang super steep hill. Preop weight 389 current weight 304...that's 85 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

I'm beating myself up tonight. I ate nearly 980 calories! I haven't been able to eat for the past week hardly at all. Today I just kinda let the food flow. When I added it up on my fitness pal and saw the total I freaked out! I burned almost half walking but I fell like a whale tonight. Ugh Preop weight 389 current weight 304...that's 85 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

I fell like all i do is eat and drink and drink and eat but I'm not ever hiring my goal of 850 cal/day. I'm getting all my protein and then some but just can't seem to consume enough calories. Any one else having this problem? Preop weight 389 current weight 312...that's 77 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13
