I'm no longer the biggest person at work.

How are July sleeveless doing? I'm 7 weeks out and down 53 pounds since I began my preop diet.

My doctor didn't even really mention the bypass. He was all about the sleeve, which was fine because that's what I wanted. I did inquire about the pros and cons of the bypass surgery, but there was never a feeling of being pressured into one option over another.

I'm not a guy but my husband had the surgery in June. He started at 315 and is now down to almost 250. He's dropped a bunch of clothes sizes! He was wearing a 46 waist pant, and is now closer to a 40. Plus he's got a lot more energy and takes the kids for bike rides a few nights a week.

I'm 1 month out and can see a change! Here's a picture comparing May and today. 43 pounds gone!

I had pureed chili and that wasn't bad. I also had refried Beans. The thought of pureed meat (baby food) was terrible, DH had tried it during his pureed phase and said it was horrible. I remember it from when our kids were little and thought how cruel I was giving it to them, lol.

Today I reached the first weight goal that I set for myself. I started the journey at 268 and weighed 248 on the day of my surgery. I set my first scale reading goal for 225, and today I reached it! I haven't been at this weight since 2008, two pregnancies ago. While my shape (clothing sizes) are still bigger than I was 7 years ago it is still a huge accomplishment that I'm proud of.
Happy Wednesday everyone!

I was sleeved on 7/21 and had a stall at week 3. Things started budging again this weekend. I'm not sure if it was because I was tracking my food more or because I was more active, or perhaps my body had adjusted enough to let the scale move downward. I just focused on the fact that I was eating better and being more active.

This is May 25th the night before surgery and then the one on the right was on Sunday!

I think you could have stuck a pin in me and popped me in my old picture.
So puffy. I can't believe that was me.
Crazy. Still absolutely crazy to me...

Will be 4 weeks on the 21. So far I'm down 42 pounds. 20 from my 2 week preop diet, 22 since surgery. I haven't been at 226 since maybe 2008. Currently wearing a pair of shorts that I haven't worn since we went to Walt Disney World in 2010.

YES! I'm on my third Mirena IUD , it was placed n November 2014.My RNY was 4/2015. I had been period free (or had some *light* spotting here and there). Just like you, on surgery day I spotted, more than usual though and it was brown- not red. The month following I had an actual full blown period. I'm now nearly 4 months post op and see that its getting less and less-- so hopefully they will disappear once again!
