Hi, I had my RNY on July 2, 2013. In 6 months I went to my lowest weight of 117#'s. I averaged 20#'s per month. I started out at 249#'s (this time because I managed to lose down from 285#'s). I had 1 stall I guess that was what you would call it. I weighed in the morning and it said I was up 3#'s!! I thought what the hell!! But the next day I was down 4#'s. I had the 8# gain up to 125#'s and have maintained that weight for 3 years. My health is pretty darn great. I use to take 12 different medications. Insulin 2 times a day with 2 500mg of Metformin 2 times a day. I now take 4 precriptions with 3 being for my Blood Pressure and 1 for my thyroid. I am able to walk 4 miles 3 to 4 times a week. Hubby (who also had WLS June 2016) are joining a Health Club in May!!! I am realy excited about this one because hubby has never had any interest in exercising!! Good Luck with your journey. You are kickin your wt to the curb!! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!

I watched the whole show. She busted her butt with trainers and worked hard to lose the weight. Everyone that knows nothing about surgery thinks it's the easy way out regardless of shows about it. I'm super proud of her for doing it. She lost 300 pounds!! Her starting weight was 460. She looks amazing just unfortunately her extra skin on her lower arms can't be helped. She still has it on her legs. The show shows all of her struggles, even regaining and making poor food choices when she was stressed. It showed the ups and downs we all face and how hard she had to work to make that weight actually come off. Now the real question, can she keep it off because that's the real challenge.

So I wasn't even sure if I wanted to post this but I just kept thinking about it so I'm just gonna do it. What do you guys think about all the news about the mom from the show Here Comes Honey BooBoo? Mama June is her name. Now I will admit, I've never seen the show and I've judged her pretty harshly in the past. I try not to be a petty b***h but sometimes I am. And I think I am about her. So I'm not sure if this is me being a b***h or something else.

I hate all the news coverage on her. I think the main reason is they are making it seem like it's just so fast and easy. Like, boom, have the surgery and then boom, have the body lift and you are done! lol! But she doesn't even look like she's really done yet!! It's like she had her extra stomach and next removed but her lower legs and lower arms look just as full. It kind of feels like she had the VGS done and then just had a bunch of fat cut off. Maybe I'm wrong, as I've said I've never watched her shows but I feel like the impression they are giving with this is that the VGS is like some quick and easy shortcut, the results don't seem overly impressive on her and I kind of hate that she might be the face of the VGS for people. I resent that for reasons that might point to me being petty.

How do you guys feel about it, if anything?

Perfectly normal! I was same for at least first week.
