I had RNY almost 7 months ago....I chose it because I already had bad heartburn and was told the sleeve could make it worse....Oh and I have only had one episode of mild dumping early on...I ate some creamy peanut butter and I think I ate it too fast! Best of luck to you in whichever procedure you chose! [emoji3][emoji106] Hw: 324 SW: 295 CW: 225 ....only one more pound to 100 lbs lost since I began this journey last Oct.

My 27 yr old son was a big part of my decision....He lives close to the Colorado Rockies and he really wants to hike with his Mom! I will be attempting this with him in a couple weeks [emoji3][emoji106]

Beautiful! WTG!!

Best of luck to you....just hang on tight and enjoy the ride [emoji3][emoji106]

If only we could undo some of the decisions we have made in the past....oh wait! If we could do that then we wouldn't be obese in the first place leading us to our decisions of WLS! [emoji3][emoji106] Good luck Gina....I hope they get this all figured out for you so you can resume a somewhat normal life [emoji3]

I'm 6.5 months out RNY and I can eat most meats....shrimp still doesn't sit "good" but not bad either....I eat mostly chicken, steak, ground beef and pork [emoji3][emoji106]

Food bill down...but clothing bill...way up!! [emoji3][emoji106]

What a feeling!! I'm not quite there yet.....but it won't be long! [emoji3][emoji106] I just bought a pair of Jennifer Lopez boyfriend jeans at Kohls in a size 20...,I'm currently in a 22 in most brands....I brought them home and they fit perfectly! Love love love!! I always hated shopping before... I'm afraid there has been a clothes monster created via WLS! Btw ladies and gents...Kohls has some awesome deals on their clearance racks right now! [emoji3][emoji106]

My go to snacks are ....cheese, jerky, almonds, yogurt, berries and premier protein shakes....having had gastric bypass I have to eat a snack or two a day or I won't get in all my protein [emoji107]????

Never gave it a second thought..wasn't nervous at all...once I decided to do it...that was it...I was at peace with my decision...I will admit the first few months post op were challenging and I had my moments of regrets but that soon faded and so far I'm happy with my decision ...6 months post op gastric bypass down 68 lbs since surgery and 98 lbs since the start of the process [emoji3][emoji106]

I went to Kohls the other day and was able to find clothes I could wear on the clearance racks!! I got 2 pair of jeans and 5 shirts for $70... That might buy a shirt and pair of pants at Lane Bryant if you are lucky! [emoji12][emoji106]

I'm more into the inches being lost then the number on the scale [emoji3][emoji106]

Omg you are gorgeous! Congrats on your huge success! WTG

First appointment Oct 13th 2015....surgery Feb 17th 2016 [emoji3]

I was given the ok to try carbonated beverages last week. I'm in no hurry to try it, especially after reading your experience at 10 months out! Thank you [emoji3][emoji106]

I have definitely lost weight in my feet [emoji3][emoji106]

Don't worry if you don't reach these goals for the first couple of weeks....mainly stay hydrated and get in the protein you can. It gets easier with each passing week! [emoji3][emoji106] It sounds like you are doing fine! Good luck!

Looking good! [emoji3][emoji106]

I couldn't stand the Isopure or Syntrax nectar..yuck [emoji107]???? I relied on Unjury chicken soup ...it was the only clear liquid protein I could stomach.

I'm at my 6 month mark and have lost 70 lbs since surgery...96 lbs total since last October ...gastric bypass here

Wowza! Looking hot! [emoji12]

As I close in on 100 lbs gone forever , I am finally realizing gastric bypass was the best thing I've ever done for myself and my family....I feel better...I feel I look better...lol.....I went clothes shopping on Sunday to find an outfit for an upcoming Blake Shelton concert that my hubby bought me VIP tickets for an early birthday present. I found the outfit I'm wearing in the picture below..I was so excited when I pulled the jean jacket off the rack thinking it's not going to fit...it's an XL.....omg! It actually fits me!! ???? ....I started my journey at 324lbs...SW was 295...CW is 227 ....one of the things on my bucket list is to hike in the Rockies with my son next month...He is so excited that I am going to attempt this with him ???????? I'm moving onward and downward with the new me....I cannot wait to see 199 on that scale!!!
