    Thank you! That's my favorite compliment to recieve because that is what this is all about! My second favorite was last weekend when I saw someone for the first time in a couple years and they said, "you take up so much less space!" Sounds rude but in the context it was funny and so true!

    Way to go and thank you for sharing! Yes it does encourage others like myself to keep the faith and keep walking the path 1 step and pound at a time

    I read an article recently about a man who lost over 100lbs. He stated that he doesn't say he lost 100lbs, he says "I lost 1 lb, one hundred times". I thought that was such a great perspective. This is a journey, it's consistent hard work, not something that just happens overnight. So yes, keep doing what your doing one step and pound at a time.

    What type of diet (food) are u doing

    Nothing special really, there's nothing I don't eat, but I mainly stay high Protein low carb. For example tonight's dinner is rotisserie chicken (no skin) and a green salad with tomatoes, cucumber, and onions (and ranch dressing)

    For lunch today I had a homemade Soup made with with chicken and veggies, I had a banana for a snack and yogurt and coffee for Breakfast.

    I eat between 800-1000 calories a day now, but I was under 700 until 2 months ago.

    Anything is possible, as long as you put in the work! Keep in mind there's more to consider when choosing between sleeve and RNY than amount/rate of weight loss. I initially wanted the sleeve, but through my pre-op testing I found out I had GERD and Barrett's esophagus. That left me with RNY as the only option.

    I had surgery on 3/14/15, I'm 5'2 with a SW of 261. Currently weighing in at 149 in less than 8 months! It's true that regardless of the surgery you choose you have to put in the work. This last 30lbs is a beast to lose, my tool only helps me get closer to goal.

    I'm 8 months out but since about 3 months out I've eaten all fruit; apples, watermelon, pineapple, mango, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, etc. In moderation of course but I love fruit and have it 4-5 times a week.

    Just take it slow and see how your body reacts to each individual item. Some ppl can't do skins, they don't bother me. Others dump, so take it slow and enjoy!

    Yes, got it 4 weeks ago at Kohls. Got the Fitbit Alta, was $99.99 but I had kohls cash so I only paid $69.99. It totally motivates me to move and I've exercised more in the past 4 weeks than I have in the first 6 months after my surgery combined.

    I use all the features and have it connected to my fitness pal so it tracks my calories in and out. Also tracks my Water, steps, and sleep patterns. I highly recommend

    cdeisroth,

    I just got the fitbit charge 2 this last Saturday. How did you sync your fitbit to my fitness pal?

    In the myfitnesspal app on my phone there is an option for "apps and devices" in the main menu. Click that then search for the "fitbit tracker" and follow the instructions from there.

    Make sure you also have the Fitbit app on your phone as well.

    I had a follow up appointment with my surgeon this week, 7 months post-op. He told me I'm doing fantastic, should lose about 15 more lbs, and then, looking me dead in the eye and stated, "damn, I did a good job!"

    He did, and I did too! I'm in shock daily at how for I've come this year. My head hasn't caught up yet though, and most days I still feel fat, despite what i see in the mirror. I'm OK with that though, because gives me the motivation to keep making good choices and keeps me from being complacent.

    My husband and I went out last night to Celebrate our anniversary and we took a picture together (the one on the right, cropped him out for privacy). I just keep staring at it, I can't believe it's me, what I have dreamed of accomplishing all of my life.

    Anyway, no real point to this post, other than I feel good, I feel happy, and I just wanted to share that damn, we're all doing a good job!

    I use this program. They send me all of my Vitamins, automatically, every month. They contacted my insurance and negotiated a $25 monthly fee. It is awesome! They automatically deduct the payment from my checking account and the shipment arrives like clockwork. For the first 6 months I got dissolveable pills, now I get the swallowable pills. All are formulated for Bariatric patients. I highly reccomend

    This is one of the most inspiring stories I have ever read on here. I had my RNY this year at 34 years old. I did not have many health issues; mild sleep apnea, pre-diabetic, and a resting heart rate of 94. I was right on track to be where you were in 20 years. I'm down 107lbs since March and 18lbs to goal and after reading your story feel even more confident in the decision I made to have surgery. Thank you for sharing!
