Has anyone gotten a tattoo to memorialize their weight loss journey? Tell me about it and post pics if you have. My surgery is 6/6/2018 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Weight loss rates? Stalled already?
RobR44134 replied to LL44's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
After much prodding I was finally told that after RNY the goal is 12-17% of excess body weight each month. Each month you lose, the less excess weight to lose and so amount goes down based on those percentages. I’m charting. I weigh once per week and have hit target 3 months in a row. I stalled too but was still in range so didn’t beat myself up. Good luck! -
Non-sweet pre-made protein shake options
RobR44134 replied to Anthropose's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Premier protein chocolate. I mix half of a drink (5.5 ounces) with 12 ounces of 1% milk. No longer so sweet. I don’t like sweet things either. Good luck. -
I’ve entered the 2’s! HW 383 Starting weight 373 Surgical weight 343 CW 296 GW 199? GNY on 6/6/18

Weight gain during surgery may be from the gas they introduced. @Little Kansas Kitty, I may be moving to Olathe soon for work. I’ll have to find a new facility for post op check-ins because I’m not flying to Cleveland for a 1 hr visit.

I found protein2o was bitter and grainy. The premier protein are too sweet. I did a lot of mixing to find what works best for me. It’s premier protein cut 50/50 with water. Good luck! We’re all so different 😀

I feel great. Never used my pain meds. Only used Tylenol sporadically for first week. Slowly introducing soft foods. 4 oz of hamburger yesterday went through the blender. I prob had only 1 oz before feeling it. The rest went to the freezer and I will try again later. Scrambled egg and cheddar was amazing!

I’m doing great. Yesterday was 2 weeks post surgery and I’m down 23 pounds!

Everything went well. The ensure protein drinks in hospital were awful. Was so happy to have my premier protein when I got home. Also I really missed my sugar free popsicles!

Awesome! Our stats are similar. When I started I was 373.3 Op weight was 343.3 Today is day 5 post op for me. Looking forward to being in the 3’s myself. My ideal body weight according to a stupid chart is 170ish. I would be ecstatic at 200!!

Please tell me I’m not the only one!

I’m four days post op. I’m actually not using my pain meds. It makes me uncomfortable which helps with hunger. Sometimes I’m so sore the last thing I want is something to eat. I have been using popsicles and jello to help too. So far so good but does feel like I’m drinking protein shakes and crystal light non stop to ensure I get my ounces. -
Tomorrow is the big day

I turned 41 in Feb. I never stopped believing I could lose the weight through diet and exercise. I never believed I could keep it off. Take sweats or basketball shorts. Good luck! My rny was June 6 -
The one thing you could not live without post surgery
RobR44134 replied to Oceanlove's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a Yeti cup for my protein drinks and milk. These need to be cold for me. Because I drink so slow I needed something other than a standard glass. First thing I had when I got home... sugar-free popsicles. They only had some terrible orange ones in the hospital. -
How cool would it be if that Phoenix tat became nationally recognized symbol of wls. We could ID each other in society!

I’m thinking a Phoenix tattoo.

Surgery went well. Still in hospital. Bored and ready to go home

Just had my last protein drink for a while. Surgery tomorrow morning at 0730. Good luck!

I have United Healthcare. High deductible plan... Max out of pocket is $2800. Started HSA and putting $88 each check into so I don’t have to pull from savings. My company adds $500.

My sister’s doctor gave her some type of card that she shows to server that permits her to order from kid’s menu. Not sure if it’s a NY thing but saves money and wastes less food.
