People have started to call me all of the things you all have mentioned. Its weird because I do not see myself that way. My favorite was an old high school classmate said I looked "so healthy". I loved that comment because that really resonated with how I feel.

Thank you!

Thank you, my head hasn't had time to catch up with the weight loss yet so comparing old and new pics really helps me to see the difference!

I'm 4 months out and often forget I even had surgery. Everyday gets better. By 4-6 weeks you feel good, 2 months I got some energy back. I found I quickly fell into my new lifestyle of eating healthy, small portions and now it's the new normal. Hang in there, it will get better!

Typical day for me is a Protein shake or Greek yogurt for Breakfast, salad with a Protein like chicken for lunch and 3-4 oz of protein for dinner with some veggies. I eat a lot of raw veggies like carrots, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers as Snacks and also have one to two servings of fruit a day. Right now I can't stop eating Bing cherries! Meals are still fairly small, about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of food per meal

@@swizzle I'm eating between 600-800 calories as well. One or two days I've gotten to 900 or so but that's rare. I have not been exercising, but that's just pure laziness on my part. I need to start though because I'm definitely in need of some toning. I'm starting to look like a deflated balloon!

Hey March Bypass Folks, How is everyone doing? Overall I couldn't be happier with my decision to have RNY! I'm down 81 lbs since my first consult in January and 59lbs since surgery on March 14th. Still have about 50lbs to go. Health wise I've never been better. better. I also am loving shopping for new clothes! I still have trouble reaching my Protein goals and my hair is falling out by the handful on a daily basis, but I'm trying not to let it get me down as I know it won't last forever. Anyway, just thought I'd check in and see how everyone else is doing!

I had the rny 12 weeks ago and just ate celery yesterday...still alive! Your pouch will let you know what you can have. I avoid carbonation, nsaids, sugar and bread

I'm only 3 months out: Initial consult: 1/19/16. - 261lbs Surgery day 3/14/16 - 239lbs 1 month- 214lbs 2 months - 200lbs Today - 190 lbs Total lost since January - 71lbs. Amount to goal - 65lbs

I have Horizon BCBS. Had my first consultation 1/23/16 and had my surgery 3/14/16. My insurance required 3 nutritionist visits, a psych eval, and a letter of medical necessity. The surgeon however required a breathing test, sleep study, upper endoscopy, and bloodwork. I was able to get all of this done in 6 weeks over about 16 doctor's appointments. Instance approval took 24 hours. It's possible but you have to be very organized and follow up with all of the Drs often. Also, it is very dependent on your surgeons availability and how motivated his support team is to quickly move you through the process. Good luck!
