I'm on my third day post op and feeling great. No more pain meds, taking my Vitamins, getting 64+ oz of liquids in and around 50 grams of Protein (need to up it a bit, but I think this is pretty darn good for three days post-op). Haven't weighed myself yet - waiting for the 2 week post-op appt. I started full liquids today (as opposed to clear liquids) and was able to have Decaf coffee with a little bit of nonfat milk this morning and delicious split pea Soup with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt for dinner. Life is good. I hope that everyone is doing well!

That is so true! I just turned 70 last month. My husband has begged me 25 years, and still, to buy a bikini. Right now he is a couple hours away, and just told me to get naked and relax after I was in the pool. We might get old, but in our minds we remain you and happy in heart!

I've never known a guy to get to "that point" and back away. Then again my buddies aren't superficial and haven't dated super models.

Thank you. Ironing...haha
I told him lingerie might help, and he had just eaten a super big meal. He told me if he didn't stop eating, he might need lingerie. I love his sense of humor. He will like the ironing comment.

No issues at all. I tell my husband he needs ironing, but I love every piece of saggy skin and vice versa. If they love us fat they love us saggy! Good luck, be healthy!

Chipotle cheddar cheese sticks. So good.

I like cottage cheese or cheese curds with 1/3 of an apple sliced
I also like half an ounce of almonds a few dried cherries and a couple of chocolate chips.

My favourite snack is Total Farge 0%.. such a treat

You should also be aware that RNY is totally reversible if it should ever be necessary. Sleeves are not. When 80% of your stomach is gone, it's gone.

Hi Stefanie, I'm in toronto too. I'm going to Montreal for a revision (self-pay). I looked into both. Like others have said. Bypass is the proven gold standard, so should not be something to be too concerned about. I'm the opposite of you. I've been told they may not be able to do a bypass because of scar tissue and my have to do a sleeve. I won't know until I have woken up which I got.

I know many people state that the RNY is to invasive for them but...even tho they reroute our pouch etc think about the Sleeve they are removing your stomach like 85 to 90%. Thar is pretty invasive if you ask me. Also if you have GERD the Sleeve tends to make it worse. I do know some have to be revised to the RNY. Also I see that your weight is 245 right, my STATS are: Highest weight 249#'s Surgery weight 232 Current weight 125#'s. I went below my goal weight because of Strictures ( kind of like scar tissue) I got down to 117#'s and both my PCP and my Suregon were worried that I was losing muscle instead of the fat. I managed to gain 8#'s and it is amazing how healthy I feel!! I did get to my goal weight in 6 months and have managed to maintain at 125#'s. Just check out your options. It also depends on your diet if you love carbs sugar etc the RNY gives you restriction and the malobsorbsion too. Which means you don't absorb as many calories. Like I said do your research because noone can decide which is best for you.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You look great! I'm hoping for June '17 sleeve surgery. I have alot more to lose than you did, but i hope I look as good! I'm from the Phila suburbs! (Del.County) Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Great job! I think we all worry about gaining again. I put on some weight 5 years out and am trying to get it off again going back to basics. The best advice I can give you is quit the cigarettes. I'm 64 and quit cold turkey about 10 years ago after smoking since I was 15. I now have COPD. What good is being thin and feeling great if you cant breathe enough to get through a dance or a bicycle ride or any of that? You look great and I would say younger too! Keep the good work going!

Awesome job!!!! By the way I LOVE YOUR T-SHIRT!

Well hello! I'm 1 year and 9 months out. Start weight 228, surgery weight 200, goal weight 135. New journey started in August of 2014. I was determined to make all requirements. I had got off sweet. No juice, no soda. Then I started walking around the block and lost weight. I had no idea how long I've been so big. Until I lost most my weight and saw the pictures, even my husband didn't realized how big I'd gotten until he saw the pics. "He said see love is blind." I have an awesome Husband and he told me how beautiful I was but in reality I wasn't happy with myself.
Before surgery I quit smoking cold turkey. Do you know how hard quiting ciggs are? Thee worst addiction I ever had next to food. But like I said I was determined. So everything went as planned. Post-op was terrible the gas was painful. And I haven't heard of anyone feeling hunger pain. They say u won't have any desire to eat at first well not me. I did!
But now to the point: it's 1 year 9 months out and I made it down to 131 but then I started eating sugar and that was my downfall. So I'm up and down. I'm scared to gain the weight back. And I started smoking again.
I'm grateful for everything that has changed in my life. I need to take hold of that fire and desire to change my life. I have energy. I'm more personable. I just want to have fun. I laugh more but still struggle with my mental state. I love life and I love myself. 

It's like they try one tack, and when that doesn't capsize the surgery boat, they try another.

LOL. My sis had VSG about 4 years ago, and my parents were worried about my having it. At first they were telling me how they were concerned that all of her health issues seem to be related to the VSG. When I let them know that they are not related (I'm a nurse), they backed off that track. The next time I saw them, they were worried that I'd become a downer and no fun to eat with anymore because my sis is one of those people who has to tell you about everything and how things work (even if she doesn't really know). I let them know that as far as I'm concerned, I'm not the food police so I don't speak about what other people are choosing to eat, and after a few months I'll be able to eat whatever I decide to just in smaller portions. And unless you ask me, I'm not going to go on and on about why I'm eating smaller portions or what you should/should not be eating. They finally decided to quit hassling me about it. LOL
