Gloves come off?
Don't listen to "Negatives"... If you sit there listening to reasons why you should sit and stay fat and unhealthy then so be it..but if you are trying to take control of your health and life in order to "live" then step forward. This is the main reason I didn't choose to divulge...too many Dr.Phil's without a clue.

Before and after picture 13 months RNY
Thank you! And thank you for saying I look healthy. People around me tell me I look sick and it hurts my heart. Last night I was talking with a group of female friends and they were all fired up about my weight etc, "you are too skinny. " " you look sick " etc. so I ask them how come when I was obese none told me I was u healthy ? I don't understand peoplePeople are silly...you look great and healthy.Nothing "too skinny or sick about you"!!!Maybe shock,awe and jealousy comes to mind...congratulations...you did it!

Much slower weight loss when revision from lapband to bypass
Yes...losing is so much better than picking up around or 2 every few weeks....and I don't miss any of the torture of the band.I can eat anything but I have been real strict...no breads,no starches,no rice or potatoes,pastas etc.I only have organic steel cut oatmeal in the morning.Otherwise,protein and vegetables.About once a month I may have a serving of beans or lentil soup....I have started incorporating nuts but this is no easy task....very disciplined....actually my struggle is with water... Slow Loss But glad to be losing!
