    Soooooo I’m about a month and a half post op from rny and mamma needs a drank. How long did everyone wait?
    I 'patiently' waited about four months. Finally had a drink and...... it was a terrible idea. Felt terrible. Instant regret. Even now at 9 months out drinking is no longer fun. The buzz comes on quick and leaves quick and you're left feeling sober and sick.

    Good point on the carbs. I used to do almost none, but when I would go for a run or other exercise I would get light headed and kind of shaky. The nutritionist had me start eating more carbs and that made a huge difference with energy level and endurance training exercise. I do try to have the carbs in the AM with the pastry being my largest carb intake of the day, usually i work out right after having that because it's an instant energy boost. If not working out I skip it
    Sorry to dip in here but I've been feeling incredibly light headed/dizzy lately. I read thinking it had to do with Water intake but now I'm thinking it may be carbs. Did your NUT mention what a good carb ratio looks like?

    Things get better with time. For quite a few months post op, I just didnt want to eat at all because it was such a process. After about 6 months post op, things started to get better. Still dont get a whole lot of pleasure out eating (which is a good thing. food should be nourishment, not comfort or happiness) but have now gotten used to it. It just doesn't bother me like it used too. You'll adjust.

    Hello Everyone!

    I am post-op RNY, surgery date July 2014, starting weight 302, surgery date weight 290.

    Today, I’m 190, and I’m four days post-op from an Abdominoplasty. Surgeon was able to remove 15 ponds of skin. I’m hopeful to be 175-180 when I’m healed and all my swelling goes down.

    Here are before and after (the “after” is from 2 weeks ago at the beach, before my plastic surgery).

    I like to come and read about everyone’s successes. Your stories are always so familiar and comforting to me. Very few people understand the struggles we’ve faced, the nastiness, the hateful attitudes, the condescension (“hey, you should feel lucky we even MAKE clothes in your size!”), and even though I don’t post much, I’ve so enjoyed seeing the happy transformations.

    ❤️hugs to everyone on this journey!

    Carmen

    Congrats on your weight loss! You know, if you are still losing weight and not gaining, you must be doing something right. So if you are satisfied with your loss rate, just keep doing what you are doing [emoji4]
    I'm at about 600 calories (protein foward, >20g net carbs) and at least 1 hour of some sort of exercise a day. I'm still losing, not as fast as before of course, but it's all good.
    P.S. your starting weight AND height AND surgery date are almost identical to mine! and I'm 15 lbs to goal as well! [emoji4]
    Thank you! Congrats on your weight loss also!
    My weight loss has definitely slowed down from the beginning but I feel like that is to be expected. I'm not really focused on how fast the weight comes off, more focused on my ability to continue to lose and keep the weight off.
    I guess I have kept the "I'm continue to lose weight, I must be doing something right" mindset but I'm afraid that mindset is a trap. Lol!

    Hi all! I am curious as to how many calories everyone is eating/what your macros look like around 7 months out? I am a little over seven months post-op and take in about 1000-1200 calories a day (this a rough estimate). I have been consistently losing weight since surgery/have not gained. I am about 15 pounds away from my goal weight of 140lbs and started close 238 lbs. I was exercising a ton but have decreased a lot about 3 months ago (increased work hours). I feel like I am eating too much given that I am not exercising. However, I am not gaining and continuing to lose, so I am unsure whether this mindset is just my own poor/toxic food mindset creeping back up on me or whether I am actually eating way more than I should be. Around 1000-1200 calories a day, most of my calories come from Protein, minimal exercise. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    15 Months Post, lots of the same patterns. Routine foods occasionally eating out planned splurges.
    Calories most days not above 1200 except during luteal phase when I need more.
    Exercise is walking most of the time but recently started jumping rope again as a part of a challenge.
    Created a January challenge and gave up Protein Cookies. I lost a few more lbs. Newest weight is 151.
    Change in weather means im sick, but running a FEBRUARY challenge.
    Still a good choice
