I’m in love with these- like dangerous love

I was 242 and mid 40s. No loose skin for me but everyone journey is different Good luck with yours!

Rny isn’t open surgery... mine was done with two very small incisions about an inch long— that’s it!!

Only my husband knows. Rny dec 2017. I started with an extreme healthy diet change and robust exercise routine prior to surgery so folks really didn’t question more than that. The way I see it it’s none of their business. Now over two years out it’s up to me to keep it off.

After WLS, I Gain A Little Weight When I ... eat too much peanut butter :/ But it’s so good ;) ... oh and vodka haha

107 lbs in about 9 months. Have maintained 105-100 lbs lost since last September (8 mos maintenance)

Beginning of a type of dumping syndrome: you feel awful. Happens if you eat too much sugar or too much in general

Peppermint herbal tea helps too

Smooth move tea really works... just be home ?

Super normal :) The next few weeks as you start to lose you’ll be emotional so expect that too. You’ll do great!

Amazon has peaches and cream!

Frust... amazon!!

I still drink one for breakfast and my nutritionist is fine with it. I drink it for convenience not necessarily for protein amount. I am just over a year out. Chocolate premiere is my favorite but I also like caramel . Vanilla is good to mix in other things

ALWAYS COLD! (Worth it) ?

Awesome thread- thanks for recreating it!

With ya!

Smooth move tea works— REAALLLLY WELL haha so be close to home for a few hours!! ? Also be careful with the fruit- a lot of sugar so don’t eat it after surgery until cleared. Good luck - it’ll be here before you know it!

I still haven’t gone back to caffeine- and don’t miss it ? You’ll do great!

Definitely find another Dr It seems yours isn’t listening Feel better and good luck

Ditto on getting help sooner rather than later. This journey is so complex and can be difficult to navigate as is, getting help would definitely be a benefit . I am sure They’ve seen it all before and can help. Get help before it is further along and much harder ?

Marshall’s and TJMaxx are great go-to’s for work clothes. You’re going to go through them pretty fast so try to get pieces that mix and match best. Congrats ?

You sleep the first day and I felt ok to be alone . You’re in the hospital— if you need assistance, ring you buzzer for a nurse. I was fine other than feeling like 10,000 sit ups so getting up was a bit hard for the first couple of days but nothing crazy. You’ll be fine

Congrats! ? For me it took about 6 -8 weeks for it to feel “normal”

Really not complaining that much as it’s really the only place that sags (tummy a little bit smoooshie but overall ok) Thanks for the welcome and suggestions!

Good for you for doing it now—- better to not be tempted. Sugar free popsicles are a lifesaver— never run out lol
