Hit normal BMI. HW: 223 SW: 189 (GB on 6/1) CW: 136 GW: 123

Doing well here! Ten more pounds and I reach a normal BMI!

I mix mine with cold decaf coffee, add ice and mix in the blender. The caramel flavor is really good with coffee.

Wait! What? How do you bake them into cookies?

The new oatmeal one is good!

GBRNY 6/1.

Good progress so far. Feeling great! Pre op at about 240 lbs. Post op at 8.5 weeks at 159 lbs. About 30 more to go!

Preop picture and 8.5 weeks out. Progress feels good!

Your blood sugar may be low.

Wow! Congrats

At what point did everyone add protein bars into their diet??? I'm 6 weeks post op GB RNY.

@@tholbert08 I had a large hiatal hernia repaired as well. And yes, I'll be 55 this November. 3 1/2 weeks post op now and feeling pretty good. Down 12 pounds since surgery. 44 pounds since January when I first weighed in at the WLS Clinic.

Try a heat pack too.

How much sugar, if any?

I like the Isopure zero carb Iced Tea. Syntrax Nectar Fuzzy Navel. Quest Salted Caramel protein powder, I mix this with a vanilla premier protein shake and a little extra water.

Thanks! I just joined. Love to see how RNs working 12 HR Nightshifts are managing their WLS requirements. I had Bypass on 6/1. I head back to work 7/2.

I'd be interested too. I have an allergy to sulfites that is quite severe.

I took 4 weeks after GB but I have a physically demanding job and 12 hr Shifts.

Lol, I'm older too, but I'm going for it!

They didn't give me a goal either. I looked up what my BMI should be for my height and I'm shooting for dead center in the middle of that BMI range. [emoji3]

Two week Post op check went well. I'm cleared for the first phase of a soft diet. I've lost 9 lbs. I know my weight loss will be a little slower. I lost 34 pounds on the required supervised diet. My BMI/weight was fairly low at the time of surgery. I have 60 pounds to lose now to get the a normal BMI and 100 pounds total lost.

Good luck!

Feeling good so far. I'll be 2 weeks post op on Wed. I'm waiting to get on the scale at my post op visit this Thursday but I can tell I'm losing!
