I'm at 7 weeks post op now. There has been a significant spike in my happiness since getting on the "soft" food diet. I feel completely normal now. The weight loss has definitely slowed down, last week I only lost 1 pound.... but I have to be realistic that not every week is going to be an amazing week. I've made mistakes and need to work on eating slower, but I'm learning. Overall I have lost 44 pounds since July 22nd (5 days before surgery). My goal is 75 pounds by Christmas.

Received a call from Dr Cronks office. After six months of doctor appointments, lost weight, endoscopy, appointments with him, nutritionist and EKG, I'm told that I must lose more weight (never mind the last six months). According to them this is a "new policy".
I'm not so frustrated with the additional requirement as I am the lack of communication and the expense I've gone through. I'm hoping to get the surgery done this year for insurance and I started this process 1/12/2016. I'll lose the additional weight but this road feels long. And longer.
Sad. Frustrated.

Goal is about another 45 lbs.

Awesome job!

I moved to Winterstein to do the surgery right when it was all changing from Dr Cronk.

100 lbs is a LOT! Go to the dog food isle and pick up the bags whenever you want to be reminded how awesome you are! That's what I do!

I see Winterstein. He's awesome. I'm 5mo post and down 117.

Congratulations!!!!!!

Hello! I had RNY on October 22, 2016. Best choice I could have ever made. I'm having a bit of a bumpy time - food and I often fight. But, I'm learning - food is usually right and I'm usually wrong (too much, too fast, etc.). Protein is the hardest for me to fit in - and I'm learning to get really creative.
I'm down 63 lbs since surgery (84 since first weigh in) - and the feeling of being able to do things is incredible. I need my Christmas present (FitBit 2) so I can remind myself to eat - and stay on schedule!
Good luck!

I'm not sure what all transpired. But I do know that Karen in their office has been wonderful. I am thankful they did what they could to help me - and I'm onto another group that will help me.
Don't give up.
