Beginning to Regret
I haven’t vomited or really had any issues at all since mine 4 months ago. Really super easy experience for me. Perhaps it reads so negative as there tends to be people who post when they have questions or problems— no one wants to hear how great we are all doing- that’d be boring [emoji23][emoji12] HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 174 5’6”

Out With the Old--In With the New!
The way I look at it… It’s kind of like having a kid! After so long you start no longer counting the smaller increments of time bc it messes you up and just embrace the larger ones! So….I am going with months! HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 174 5’6”

First Stall - less than 2 weeks after surgery???
It happens to most- hang in there and stay on program. My guess is that you’ll drop soon and more than a lb or two HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 174 5’6”

1 week post op RNY- questions
That how I felt too! Truly awesome. When you get to foods you’ll feel it! Even with food- for me- I was able to eat more faster than most but never more than 3/4 cup now. We are all different in our experiences. Just do you! It’ll happen and you’ll be amazing!

SOS I'm nervous
Don’t sweat it, just don’t make it a habit. It’s a slippery slope and all. As an aside- call your Dr about the vomiting - that doesn’t sound right and there could be something wrong Feel better!

Poll: What is your goal?
I am 5’6 and I think my goal is 150 - which is about the top of my weight range for BMI . Greatest NSV so far is crossing legs comfortably and not having to scooooch up my pants waist to sit down - to cover stomach comfortably in pants [emoji849] HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 175 5’6”

Bariatric surgery and restaurants
I just went out for lunch— had a great chicken taco (minus the taco)! Just ate the inside of two of them— estimate 2-3 oz of chicken and a bit of lettuce with cilantro crema . Of course skipped the appetizer, drink and dessert [emoji51] HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 175 5’6”

Food isn’t appealing and I’m not hungry
