My story is a little different than what I've read. I'm 5'7" 300 lbs having RNY in two months. I've always been heavy and Ive noticed that I get less "interested" looks from men the heavier I get...that being said it hasnt stoped ME from flirting!![emoji16] Im direct and confident (sometimes I gotta fake it) and I can't say I've been ignored or looked down on because of my weight. Or perhaps if someone was rude I just chalked it up to that person being a jerk in general. The thing that drives me insane is people assuming that you have low self-esteem or are lonely (Im single) or unhappy, solely because of the weight. If I hear "you'd be happier if you lost a few pounds!" one more time my eyes will roll right out of my head. Being healthy makes me happy, thank you very much!

Wow, I'm so sorry you experienced that thank you for explaining it to me. One more thing to try and avoid! Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

Please tell me what getting "foamies" means. This is the first time I've heard this term...sounds like a nightmare [emoji21] Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

Ohhh, interesting...this is my first iud so I'm hoping it works well for me. I guess I'll find out soon enough! Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

That was my worry as well. My options were slim so I decided to get the Liletta IUD, it releases hormones. So this is like a trial. I hope you're able to find what works for you! If you don't mind, share your results Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

The IUD is a "intrauterine device" so it gets inserted through your cervix by your obgyn. I have issues with my hormones as it is so I think I'll stay away from the implant [emoji21] Oh, and just FYI for anyone considering an IUD, it was an incredibly painful experience!

I feel ya! I like the Kool Aid punch and the Safeway brand pineapple ok...I just keep trying all the brands to keep from getting sick of one kind. Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

I have...its not great I've been trying different sugar free flavor drops for water and sugar free tea. I have to have flavor variety! Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm having the RNY because I had a choice, I was told there was a higher success rate and I have gerd. For you I would think having the bypass to start with would eliminate the need for a "trial surgery" and save you the pain and $$...? Just thinking out loud, I don't know your personal situation. Are you wanting to have kids? I heard that most women can get pregnant very soon after surgery Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes! I have PCOS and my surgery date should be close to April. I'm having the bypass primarily because I was told that the pcos would get better or go away completely. I'm skeptical because I've been dealing with the pain, infertility and everything else that goes with it. Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

I was on the Nuva ring and it was suggested that I go back to that after surgery. I'll be consulting my OBGYN but the ring worked for me for years and seems like a good choice post bypass. Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

Help!! I can't seem to find an app that I can log my daily meals and print out monthly for my doctor. I tried myfitnesspal and it's too complicated. Is there anybody who has to keep track and how are you doing it?? Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello, this is my first post, very new to all this. I'm in the middle of my required bariatric program before having the procedure. If everything goes as planned I'll be having surgery around March...I been prepping for the sleeve but it seems like my doctors are leaning me towards the bypass. Is there anyone out there that has changed their mind about the type of surgey? What made you decide? Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm partial to carbs myself. When is your surgey? I have 4 more months. Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 4 months preop if my bariatric program stays on track I'll be having a bypass in March. I'm doing my best to follow all these rules and change eating habits. Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

I also have a popsicle addiction lol and I love Outshine! I'm so glad I know about the "sorbitol squirts" now so I can avoid this. Sorry you had to learn the hard way thanks for sharing!! Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! I also have reflux, and on occasion the nightmare of GERD. This was a big decision so I'm trying to make it the right one. I appreciate your input Sent from my SM-S902L using BariatricPal mobile app
