Pug-Mom-Patti

Official 6 week weigh-in at Dr office. Down 20 lbs since day of surgery!

I would like to thank everyone for help me find exercise I can do and my bed, today I did my first exercise in bed and I feel little bit better hope one day I can work up not exercise in bed

So I found a Protein Drink that I really like and I'm thinning it out with low fat fair life milk and that's making me feel a lot better. I also today found this little squeeze bottle of calorie free flavor that I LOVE. I actually have to make myself slow down lol!!! Feeling better now!

Sending you hugs Jezzabelle! I’m 3 weeks out and have struggles with getting enough protien. Just keep drinking! I will get better.

And if you feel like grabbing and bitching, my shoulders are broad , I'm almost always around, if I'm not ,there are many others who will be. We all have cussed, fussed, muttered under our breath, wondered what we,let ourselves in for, but it gets better, no matter how quick or slow you bounce back, life does get better and better!
And I'll leave with what a wise Bari-pal told me as your fat stores break down and all those hormones and other stuff that was stored releases. Its like Puberty but not as many zits, Pregnancy but you don't get a cute baby out of the deal, Menopause because you will alternate hot flashes, chills and nasty temperment. And you will cry at the dangest things. I started weeping because I didn't get pictures taken before I went into the OR, yeah minor in the scheme of things but I was ❤broken.cO told someone I looked like Road Kill, now I'm not Miss America but I've not stopped too many clocks by looking at them. But I thought my skin looked sallow, on the verge of jaundice, really isn't. And the first places I lost weight? My forearms and neck, for this I went through surgery? Also my finders got smaller and they were the only average sized things on my body in the first place. Finally my rump,thighs and belly have joined in but they almost missed the party. Nobody mentioned your belly gets ridged when bands of fat left, this was not the Washboard And I was looking for! Worse comes worse I can scrub out stains on my laundry, dumb me, I actually thought it would simply flatten. Nope, but I can cover the damage with clothing. I drug out a pair of capris from last summer, tightenedthe drawstring as much,as I could but they do look like clown pants. If the string let's loose I will be like the Georgian Bari- pal, hubby took her to the Braves game, went to do the Wave, and there she was on the Jumbotron , broadcast for all, pants around her ankles and her polka dot panties on view all over the American Southeast. After she stopped crying and blushing, she admitted it would have been worse if she had her loose Granny Panties instead of her right-sized briefs. Now do you feel just a little better that. it hasn't happened to YOU?

Sending you hugs Jezzabelle! I’m 3 weeks out and have struggles with getting enough protien. Just keep drinking! I will get better.

In an effort to embrace reality and with a healthy dose of encouragement from “Shrill”, I decided I’m wearing a bikini this summer. stretch marks, scars, loose skin and all. All of these bathing suits are at Target. I bought the red one in a smaller size.
STATS: I’m 202lbs. I’m 7 months post gastric bypass and I’ve lost 119 lbs. My goal weight is 145. Yes, I plan to have plastic surgery down the road but that won’t fix my brain so I’ve been working on that for now.
Don’t leave me hanging -- PLEASE POST YOUR BATHING SUIT OPTIONS FOR SUMMER!

Why? Why do you want to break all the guys hearts this summer???
Summer Forecast: Smoking hot and taking no prisoners

Same thing happened to me. My surgeon said it would be gone around the second week, and he was right! Hope all is well!

Just wanted to provide an update that as of last Tuesday I am down 70lbs. 6 more pounds and I’ll out of the 300s. Can’t see a big difference in photos, but can definitely feel it. Feeling thankful!

Hi everyone - my surgery was on 3/18. Wanted to join the March group for some support! I wish I would have joined before my surgery as I was absolutely petrified of having surgery and was 2nd guessing the surgery I chose, but glad that part is behind me and just looking forward to the future!

Yay! I'll be going home tomorrow!! How are you feeling?

Officially home from the hospital. Also lost 3.2 lbs while in it.

Can I report too? Mine has not the usual RnY recovery but it still is my path, even with stenosis, ulcerations and TPN/PICC l8ne in my recent past.
Highest weight 365+ October 2017
Surgery Weight 319 September 5th 2018
And DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!
Yesterday March 26 2019- 3 months past my 73rd Birthday and just short of 7 months out
234.6 pounds of getting littler ME!
As I told the last "Nasty Parker" that accosted me last week--
I am nearly Half the woman I used to be and twice as happy as I expected!
Maybe would have phrased it differently but she came up and stated" I suppose You Think you're smart losing weight at your age and risking your health!" No frankly I was risking it much by remaining as obese as I was- Now. move to one side Irene ( perhaps Bye Felecia's Aunt?) Because this New Woman has places to go, goals to achieve and people to go see. If you can't be happy for me,co am deleting you from my life! Maxine Milquetoast has gone FOREVER!

Congratulations everyone “we started our journey “🤣

Had my surgery today! The RNY took 2.5 hours, and all went well! The worst part is no Water until tomorrow and I am so thirsty! I'll be here until Friday of the drinking goes well tomorrow. Best wishes to all who had surgery this month!

Five days post op and weighed on my home scaled down ten pounds although sure it’s Water weight at this point

I'm thinking about getting a piece of jewelry to commemorate the surgery and remind myself what it took to get there and sentimentality of it all. Anyone do that?

Out of surgery and did the first walk. Made it to the end of the hallway and back

Surgery day is tomorrow. Clear Liquids for today. Lost 21 lbs on the pre-op diet.

Pretty well. I lost almost 10 on preop and 10 since surgery.

Yesterday marked two weeks since surgery and I’ve been feeling good. Saw my surgeon and all is healing well. I went back to work on Wednesday and am just a little tired. I’m in the purée stage and have been handling that well, but get full so fast I’m not getting all my Protein in but am hitting my Water goals. I’m still really sensitive to smells and struggle with my Vitamins (they stink!) haha so I’m trying out the Patches.
my first NSV happened the other day - I was able to fit into a pair of jeans that would go past my hips the day before surgery 😊

hope everyone one is well and sending those who have upcoming surgery well wishes!

I found the Patches in the BariatricPal Store, currently I’m using the Multi-Vitamin, Iron, b-12 and calcium/d3. There isn’t a lot of research or stats but I’ve read on here that some use the patches successfully and I think something is better than nothing because at this point, my stomach just can’t take those vitamins...it’s just too much!

Well
Made it to Vegas went through y’all the test for preop ,surgery tomorrow it’s real now Dr Tom Ulmbach will be performing my surgery called the “safe sleeve “he is the only one who does the safe procedure ,blossom Bariatrics ,it’s is being performed as outpatient and tht makes me nervous 😬 but I’m hearing good reviews from the limos drivers ,I’m on preop diet Protein and unlimited veggies two shakes a day ,NPO by 8 pm tonight limo pick up at 10:15 said I will be at the warm springs surgical center for 5-6 hours then back to my hotel then in on sat for IV therapy to prevent dehydration and they are going to check for leaks ,prayers for me and I will pray for you all good luck my SW 228 was what I weighed yesterday can’t wait to see where I am at 8months from now 🤣

Had my first post-op checkup today. I'm down 1 lb. from my morning of surgery weight! I didn't weigh myself in between because I knew I would have post surgery gain - and I didn't want to see how much!
Dr wants my bowels to get moving so I have to take some Milk of Magnesia every night.
I can move onto pureed foods!! I can hardly wait to have some cottage cheese!
I go back again in 4 weeks.
WooWoot!.
