How's your hunger been?

8hrs pretty sure you'll be on liquids

That's great 100lbs in 8 months

Might have posted in wrong section before Looking for some results from men who were 300-350 at surgery date? What kind of results at either 3,6,9,12months? What final weight or goal for men right around 6ft? I'm 34 male 6ft0 321lbs going for RNY soon. My main goal is anything under 200 but no less than 185 I feel is good for my height build. Just looking for STATS? Advice? Thanks

Been watching 600lb life for years but it makes sense I'm the same I've spent 100s of hours on this site and others reading and learning as I'm waiting.. IT makes sense once people have the surgery they may drop off the site a little too be fully involved in their own mission, they may feel good doing it on their own but I'm sure they know if the need arises they can get good advice from the veterans! Personally I read to gauge how others are doing and to get inspiration from others that are going well.!!

Thanks for kind words.. I'm super excited.. I always get anxious no matter what but I'm more than ready for a new life.. Healthy life. Skinny life

UPDATE?

I'm curious to like how long will it take to fill up our bladder if we can only sip water??

That's an amazing loss!!!

HELLO THOUGHT I'D MAKE A PAGE JUST FOR MEN who started surgery between 300-350lbs Would like to know your current weight loss&starting post op at like 3,6,9,12months with RNY BYPASS as first and only surgery? I'm 320 I'll be having bypass likely end of September Getting excited!!

Wow major change. hottie

I say those are minimums for each person

I don't understand? What's there to feel bad about? You made a decision to better yourself. Tp change your life and to get healthy. You've made the right choice just take it day by day. It's not the end of the world.

There's tons of information out there. DS is the most restrictive. Malabsorption surgery available. High weight loss. High success rates but there's greater chance of vitamin deficiency and anemia issues. Google is your friend!

After a good 10 years dealing with life and alcoholism I finally gave it up and once my mind was clear of alcohol I noticed geez I'm in my 30s and over 300lbs.. I don't want to still be fat and unhealthy at 40.. I need to make a change and I found surgery will help me greatly in getting my life back on track...

Yes I agree I lost about 90lbs in 2012 99% of that on exercise bike. Yes I got to a good weight but I was just skin and bones no muscle definition or tone at all. I now know this time with surgery and weight loss to include some form of weights machines..

You are so right if you're worried about missing out on certain foods then you're not ready for surgery. You're not ready for a new life or a better life. I'm going for the RNY myself and hope that food becomes just fuel and I lose the cravings. I want to eat only to live. I want to lose the diabetes and live a good life and never eat junk again!!!

The way I understand it is; Once the surgery happens you have 6-12months period where you take advantage of the surgery top Get the best possible results in that time frame. From preop onwards is your time to make the most out of the surgery and not to take it lightly. People wonder why the lose only a small amount those are the people who think they can just go easy with their diet where you have others who go hard from day 1 to maximise their results.. Think about it carefully the surgery had the most effect for maybe 6 or 12 months then its up to you to maintain not to go back to bad foods not to slack off just because you hit your goal! Surgery and healthy lifestyle is not a fad it's a life long change. There's nothing wrong with a small snack once a month maybe but telling someone they can eat whatever they like after surgery to me is IRRESPONSIBLE!

Be careful of certain products that claim to be healthy..check for sugars and fats

That's very vague Just giving a person who has had issues with food choices free reign post op there needs to be guidelines or you'll end up back where you started and then blame the DR

Good luck

Results vary every 'body' is different I've seen people at 6 months lose between 50 and 100lbs constantly. You must commit 150% to the diet guidelines and include some form of exercise to see best results! The surgery is a tool bit it's up to you to utilise it as best you can!!

Preemptive for 30 th September RNY BYPASS but still yet to confirm

I'VE ALSO been told liquids proteinshakes water and maybe a cup of veges or tuna... Since you'll be on liquids for few weeks post op it gets your body started preop

MAJOR CARBS!!!
