I don't know if you ever check in here anymore...but I too am battling the head vs. Stomach. I live in Medford NJ. I had my RNY a 15 months ago. I am struggling...eating wayyyy too much wayyyy to often. I am scared because I have gained 7 pounds!! No way!! I need to attack this thing now!!

Wow, should have said first goal 185! Next goal 165!! Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

I had revision also. I went from treacherous band to wonderful RNY. I have gone from 255 to 179. My surgery was 3/7. Initially (first 2 or 3 weeks was rapid) then my first stall...then slllooowwwllllyyy from there. For instance 2 weeks ago I was 283. I pretty much can eat anything. I rarely, rarely have mild dumping syndrome. I just eat a lot less. My practitioners are pleased, and feel as though I am eating in a way that can be maintained for life. My HW was 265. My first goal was 285- DONE!! Next goal 265- on my way!! After that we will see. I dream of 150 being the sweet spot!! But I already am so much happier, and feel amazing!! It is slower with revision, our bodies are already used to this , up and down, near starvation state, so it takes longer!! As long as we keep losing, that is what is important!!

Awesome job!! I just had my 6 month and my doctor was happy with my progress!! Keep going! What was your starting weight?? That is incredible for three months!! Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

Right ???????? sure made me not want to comment. So I will take advice from those who had there's. What should I take? My surgery is set for 2nd week of September Sent from my N9520 using the BariatricPal App Lounge wear/pajamas for walking!! Clean underwear. Seriously, I packed everything, and then some!! I didn't use any of it. I cared about clean underwear and clothing, some body spray....and was consumed about getting fluids in!! Other than that, I slept!!

Do what you feel is right for you! I brought everything above and then some!! I seriously am a beauty girl and work at the hospital where I had my bypass!! I thought... I'll be ready for all my visitors....well, I was obsessively consumed with getting my liquids in!! Between that and resting, and recovery, I used nothing. I just wanted to feel better and go home!! I did bring pjs and lounge wear, which I used a lot of for walking etc! Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

I had my lapband removed and converted to gastric bypass on March 7 2016. Forever gone is the constant sliming, throwing up, and the worst reflux ever,( which included several bouts of aspiration pneumonia). This is the best I have felt in years. My HW 265. My initial visit weight-255. My current weight.......I'm in onederland!! 195. I need to lose 10 more before September 18...a cruise to Bermuda!! My goal is 155, although that dosent seem ever possible. I think I am definitely slower at this than most...but feel better than I have for years. Anyone else going this slow?? Maybe I've lost all I am going to?? Even if....it was worth it!! Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

Maybe a shake a day, and more fluids!! I'm gonna give it a try Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

Thanks so much.. I have NEVER been a Water drinker. I guess since my body has always functioned on borderline dehydration, I thought I was ok. I am definitely better than before surgery but no where near 64oz.....Protein wise, my doctor does not believe in shakes post 4 wks. He wants real food. I try, but can't get in the quantity Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

NJ girl. I'm in Medford NJ. I am exactly in the same boat as you. Water....awful. Protein. ...so so Calories 6-800. I too can see myself smaller and smaller, but NO scale movement for weeks. I am beginning to think I went through all of this for 38 lbs. I feel as if I'm destined to be done losing. How can that be on that many calories? ? Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

Help!! I lost 15 lbs prior to surgery on March7. I have lost 22 more since surgery, but it was all in the beginning! I have been stuck fluctuating between 220 and 223 for 2 weeks at least, starting to feel hopeless, like this will never happen!! I am so afraid that my surgery didn't work!
