Surgery day 28th Oct I was 257lbs (116kgs)

I think she's more than likely worried you'll get fit and healthy and confident and realize you don't deserve her crap anymore lol she's insecure mate

Bread should be the last thing on your mind. I haven't even bought bread in nearly 6 months at most I'll have a low carb wrap with tuna

Had a great day seeing my surgeon and checking in for my 3 months post op RNY. My blood results were great all my vitamin levels are good just my healthy cholesterol a little low so he said to start eating a little more food more fish and olive oil etc. He said I've done amazingly to get from 322lbs(146kg) to 186lbs(84.4kg) in just 5 & 1/2 months. I've shed 90% of my EBW; I'm about like 3lbs from "healthy bmi" Surgeon said now to stop worrying about the numbers as much & to just concentrate on more variety in my diet and thinking long term. if I stay at this weight it's perfectly fine if I lose a few more lbs that's great but to stop stressing so much about the lbs as I've done so well. He said I'm in like the top 5% of all his patients results to lose 90% EBW it was great to see his receptionists were shocked as was the surgeon when they saw me. It felt good to get such great praise ? So that's my new philosophy to try more variety in my diet; I'll still check my weight each day but I won't stress so much about it I've dropped 136lbs and dropped like 18 BMI points and multiple dress sizes all in just 5.5 months. his other main point was to start building some kind of muscle tone coz I am looking kinda skin and bones at the moment Lol. first world problems ? I feel amazing like so much more energy everyday. I love seeing old friends for the first time in months and their reactions are great! Now hopefully when I'm ready I'll be able to meet a nice young lady and start a beautiful family; that is my long term goal Thanks to everyone on here for all your support!!

1hr waiting. 1hr chat that's it. Had surgery 3 months later.

Surgery alone does not equal weight loss. You have to be mentally spiritually ready for this surgery!!!

Some take days others take weeks

Whey is the highest protein % per serve. High quality is considered 75%+ protein content otherwise you're just eating low quality. And as you're healing you need high quality.

Follow logic add healthy calories

Water

Isn't surgery covered by insurance? And my RNY was the best choice ever. I'm healthier now than I've been in 20yrs

My hair has definitely got thinner finer bit no actual loss or falling out

Going to see surgeon today for 3 months check up

Yeah I had a friend who went thru medicaid in FL. She had a bunch of tests and 6 months weigh ins had to be the same date every month couldn't miss one..

Usually a bunch of tests

Thanking you

Yeah they don't actually chop or remove any intestines they bypass some of it. So the channel from your stomach to your lower intestines is different that's all...

Hey guys had a very slow week only lost 2.2lbs. But I am getting very close to the end of my weight loss journey. I started my diet before surgery; Today is 5 months and 1 week from start of my diet and 3 months 1 week since RNY surgery. Highest weight was 322lbs. Surgery weight was 257lbs Current weight 185.8lbs I've actually surpassed my dietitians goal but I'm not totally happy yet still got some stubborn fat on my lower stomach to lose so I'm going to try get to 180lbs I think ? I really need to start working out I think. BMI down from 43.6 to 25.1 so very close to healthy lol THANKS everyone for your support. MIKEY

Yeah here in Australia they don't really do the DS because most people do well with VSG or RNY unless maybe extreme obese.. I chose RNY and I've already lost 136lbs so far

Yes some ppl can pay or get a package deal others have to pay for extras

Talk to your surgeon but the bypass is in the middle of the two

Protein shakes

Make sure you're getting protein in everyday

Your body will be going through the motions for weeks
