You could still be a little swollen it's very early days

I wish I knew about surgery 10 years earlier

hello there just doing my monthly check in for those who are interested. So it's officially 8 months since I had my RNY BYPASS surgery. My journey has been good. Started high weight of 322lbs and I've been in maintenance now 2 months. I sit consistently around 165LBS most days but my lowest recent weight was 163lbs. I have definitely been enjoying alot more variety in my diet since maintenance began and I can tolerate most foods but still use shakes if needed. I am now consuming around 1500kcal most days even a few treats here and there without any side effects or weight gain. I'm feeling amazing and looking good. I'll be 36 in about 5 weeks but feel healthier than I have in 20 years!!! I am glad I did the right research and chose the BYPASS as my first and only surgery and I'm amazed how well I've done. never ever expected to lose 100% EBW but I've done it and my surgeon says I'm an anomaly only about 5% of his patients ever lose that much ? I know it's only early days and things might change in regards to malabsorption of calories and such but I'll be sure to keep an eye on my weight for the long term. I just want everyone to see it is possible to be successful and reach all your goals. you just have to be 150% focused on your goals from day 1. Thank you all and I'll appreciate any comments. Mike

I'm not sure what BMR Is exactly but after BYPASS my weight came off quickly and easily

BYPASS is best option

Yes try different shakes until you find there right one

Yeah it's only 3 days most of us did weeks of liquid preop plus you'll need to be on liquids post OP... you're really going to struggle if you can't go without chocolate just a few days let alone the following months... sugar post OP will most likely cause irritation and obviously won't help you lose the most weight... I personally was on liquids for months once I found a shake I loved with all the protein and nutrients I needed I was satisfied... but I did have BYPASS and didn't crave anything for months...

That's why I was on shakes 3x a day for the first months to make sure I got my protein goals. Protein is soooooo important

Yes pays to do your research.... cheaper is not always better

Thank you

Healthy BMI is max 25; my sister is healthy and 5ft4 and 140lbs

I didn't drink soda until like 6 months out and I'm with bypass

Protein powder is a must

There's a few factors to think of when choosing surgery. First of all how much you need to lose? If you have any issues with reflux? I may be biased I had the RNY bypass and it was very successful for me lost over 150lbs already and maintaining well... had zero complications.. personally I feel the bypass offers higher percentage of weight loss in the first year but it has also changed my metabolism...

Find a decent dietitian to help you

It will get better

Perfectly fine I was back to normal within a month post OP

Unlucky

What surgery
