Karen Kenney

sounds good!

@@Sophie74656 I'm so sorry

@@Cervidae You look amazing lady! Congrats!

@@jenn1 Hi I am also using a cpap, hate it been using it for about 15 years. I've lost a little over 50 lbs I think maybe another 20 before I can stop the dreaded machine. How much did you lose before trying to sleep without yours? Really looking forward to sleeping on my side, thanks!

So awesome! Happy for you

a nude shoe is sexy and will go with any dress, makes your legs look longer. you can add some color with your bag, red or gold go well with navy, or if it's a daytime wedding you can do a nice caramel brown purse, you will get more wear out go it, the red or gold is for special occasion

@@tonetone me too, great till about 3 weeks after surgery now they are around 130, still in diabetic range, I'm hoping they will go down to normal range again the more weight i lose. Since I stated my pre RNY surgery diet in April '16, I have lost almost 50 lbs. Not taking meds now

@@Dawnie Doo I'm a few months away from 53, had my surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago, I hope I don't have too much loose skin

You look amazing, great job! I think you are good at this weight I am 5'6" my goal is 160, maybe 155 (my high school weight) I am looking forward to running!

Congrats! I'm just 2 1/2 weeks post surgery, feel great. I just stated puree

@@nyseness I gained about 9 lbs in the hospital, took about 3 days to get that off, now I'm losing 2-3 lbs a day

@@effbeingfat You will be fine, I have sleep apnea and I had my surgery last week, no issues

@@unique me how long was it without periods for you? I have not had one in 12 years, they better not start up again, crap

I have been losing hair for moths already, I just had my surgery last week. It was the pre-op diet. Biotin does nothing according to my doctor, makes sense I had been taking it for years and my hair still fell out. One of the Kaiser doc's said it's Vitiman A that helps with hair growth, and that is in our multi Vitamins. I don't think there is much that can be done unfortunately I found this great hair powder online at QVC the Joan Rivers Beauty line, Great Hair Day, it's only $33 including shipping and lasts forever. I have dark brown hair and use the Blonde color. It's a powder that you brush on your clean scalp, it stays until you wash it out. Makes the bald spots look like hair http://www.qvc.com/qvc.product.A78804.html?sc=PSCH

@@rimmarrufo I had the RnY and it was 7 days before I pooped, I had been adding the stool softener powder to my water and drinking for two days prior! This was just yesterday, nothing today yet.

@@James Marusek @Mauimamma I had my RnY last Wednesday and I feel great, my diabetes seems to be in remission. I had been taking Metformin and really high doses of insulin called u5oo ( 5 times stronger then reg insulin) twice a day, made me gain so much weight! Since my surgery I have been loosing 2-3 lbs a day and I have so much energy. No problems with my new pouch, I can sleep on my back. My high blood pressure, arthritis, heartburn and depression seem to be gone too, I am hopeful that with another 40 lbs I will be able to stop using my sleep apnea CPAP machine, I can hardly wait!

@@soon2bthinmiami Hi It's normal to be worried about dying with any surgery. I was worried too. I had my RnY last wednesday, and I am doing great. I had diabetes, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, hypertension and arthritis, all but the sleep apnea seem to be gone or greatly diminished. This is the right thing to do for your girls, you will be with them a long time, a good long life, a healthy slimmer new you! It is scary but well worth it. I will pray for you, please don't worry

@@Cheri_j my diabetes seems to be in remission too! So awesome, had it for almost 13 years, wasn't sure if this would work or not. Have not had any readings over 134, and that's an hour or so after a meal! Very happy no more insulin or metformin for me

I had my surgery July 13, they kept me in the hospital for two days because of nausea. I'm doing well, no pain since the 2nd day home, no troubles eating my soft stage 2 foods, I gained 9 lbs in the hospital, but have lost it now. Almost all the bloating is gone. I think my diabetes is in remission

surgery is tomorrow morning, feel ok today,l ast two days been so nervous been feeling nauseated and had tummy issues.

@@James Marusek Hi how long did you have diabetes? That's one of the main reasons I'm doing the RnY over the sleeve is to get my diabetes into remission, I've had it for 12 1/2 years. I also have sleep apnea, high blood pressure, arthritis, and surprise, depression ("sarcastically" I wonder why?)!

@@Terri70 It will be OK, contact your Primary Care doctor and say you need to go on the diet asap. it's only been 3 months. when you have a chance gather your instructions again, write everything you need to do and when on your calendar. It's easy to be in a fog during this whole thing, don't beat yourself up

@@fatgirlsvelte I'm going thru Kaiser Richmond in SF east bay, my binder is very similar to yours. Tons of info and the support groups are great, you learn a lot. Congrats on starting your journey, it will go by fast. Mine was not 6 months it was just over 3 months, my first class with the weigh in and the intro's and nutritionist starting us on the pre-op diet was March 23, my surgery is next Wednesday July 13

@@Daisee68 You look awesome, so much hard work! Try pulling out some of your before clothes and putting them on or holding them up to you, you will realize how much you have changed Congratulations!

@@russm that's awesome! Glad you are doing well. I got my meds in liquid form, and one anti nausea is a patch I put behind my ear. Maybe they can change your meds to liquid?
