Here's a picture for you

Yes please update us. I just know that I feel better every single month! I have lost 104 pounds! almost 9 months out. I could never have done it with out the RNY. So blessed to have made this decision. Hoping you are feeling better as well.

So it's been a long while how are you doing now?

Thanks! It's crazy the difference 7 months post-op can make! My life is completely different!

I'm doing great. I've lost 122 pounds with 37 more to go. My goal is to lose it by my surgery date, June 16th! It's been a crazy ride so far! I went from a size 22 pants to a size 8, however, the other day I got into, and bought a 4! I'm getting married at the end of the year and I'm basically waiting till June to order the dress I picked out so it won't be too big come wedding day! Progress pics, any one?
          

Oh my, you are really doing great. Im also gaining a bit of muscle. Keep going dear ""high five'

I am doing well according to my doctor and I feel so much better! I am gaining muscle by taking classes at the ymca and so far have lost 107 pounds since pre diet. Since heaviest I have lost 139 pounds. How's everyone else doing?

Hows everyone doing? are we all getting closer to our goal weight? seeing as in a few months it wil b our 1 year anniversary

So far its getting worse each day! I am going to cut all dairy from my diet and see if it gets better soon.

I didn't but several of my friends did. Some people come out of surgery lactose intolerant but it should get better eventually.

I try going to YMCA and swim I also climb 16 steps 10 x a day. But I'm EXHAUSTED

I take care of my two year old and do light house work. I am starting a walking program today now that I am on full liquids and can take in Protein.< /p>

I understand HW means heaviest weight. This is likely what you weighed before the preop diet. Surgery weight is the weight you are once you complete the preop diet and head into surgery.

My message posted twice so see below for comment sorry I can't find away to delete this one

I just had my surgery Thursday. That morning before surgery they checked my temperature, blood pressure, and had me take a pregnancy test. That was it. I signed my papers and they gave me some meds to relax rolled me back to or told me I was going under then I woke up when someone called my name. Now they still are watching my blood pressure temperature and blood oxygen levels every fee hours and while on iv fluids they measured how much a peed butt that's it. My husband had surgery and her is diabetic shi he also had his blood sugar levels taken every fee hours. Rally it's not bad and right now I don't miss any food!

Could someone tell me what is the procedure like on the date of surgery, do they take blood test, urine, blood pressure etc?

I have a horrible addiction to sweets like ice cream and cake. I think that's what I will miss. Might one day be able to have sugar free version but after surgery I dont want to do that stuff because it will just bring to many calories and temptation to return to my old ways.

It was so hard for me after about 11 days and Im having surgery tomorrow i called my doctor yesterday told him i was dizzy sick weak and told him i needed to eat something so I had a salad and felt much better sometimes you have to talk to your doctor and just check in but it does get to a point when surgery is finally here and all you can do is be excited good luck

I would've gone off on the person. How dare anyone judge us becoming healthier, even if it requires surgery. We are judged for being fat or skinny so screw them all and let them watch my skinny ass walk away( when it gets there lol). When I was way bigger people stared even if I ate a salad or worked out. Woot! F them all haha. This is our journey not theirs!

Everyone is different and telling or not depends on your relationship with the person you want to tell. At first I wasn't sure who I wanted to tell. I wanted my parents and in laws knowing and then a few close friends. Now I have it on my Facebook and count down for everyone to see. My husband has surgery on May 29th and I have surgery on June 19th, three weeks apart.
I did need the accountability for my carb and sugar addiction, plus I wanted my friends that I am always going out to eat with to understand why I will not be going anymore. I also wanted my ladies church group to know and plan some physical activities and stuff instead of just dinners, Snacks, ice cream nights ect. And they have! So telling has benefited us.
Good luck to us all!

Hello I am new on here. Today is my first time finding this app thanks to my sister. My husband is having surgery May 29th and I have it June 19th.
Our pre surgery diet is small foods like yogurt and fruit, 3 oz of meat, cottage cheese and Protein Shakes. Plus lots of liquids. We get Snacks like pickles and sugar free Jello.
I think I will like that better than all liquid. Good luck to us all!

Good luck to u and your husband. Your pre-op diet sounds reasonable. Hope mine isn't all liquids. Best Wishes, Andrea
