I'm officially at 60 pounds since surgery. I have stalls but always stick with it. I eat a fair share of all carbs. I walk 1 mile atleast 3 days a week I dont over exercise and surely cant over eat. Low carb is not for me so I do low fat and still enjoy some carbs! I find that if I miss vitamen my weightloss slows down. Also if I eat less than 300 calories a day is when I start to stall. I always drink 108-112oz of water a day!

I had gastrophoresis also the RNY such great help I havnt had one stomach infection. Obesity Coverage.com can give u an Ideal of how ,such more u will lose. My friend went from close to goal on sleeve to RNY she is losing but its slower. She speed it up after 4 months by doing low carb high fat and it seems to work miracles she is quickly getting to a great weight.

lol this is skinny pop popcorn for me! I bought me 1/4 cup storage containers and that's what I allow myself. I always measure. I have made a special cabinet for me tho. No bad stuff allowed in mine and all bad stuff must be hidden in the others haha

i dont know if you can search on here but i took a screen shot it was on wednesday around 8pm and here is the info if not find it maybe you can look up her as in laura071693 and click on her postings

hi there is a post on here labeled HELP read it! weve been talking about revision to rny. but i had the band my surgeon said there shouldnt be another option than rny because of scar tissue. i LOVE my rny 8.5 weeks out best thing ever. labs look great and lost 49pounds since surgery already

i wont lie my bypass hurt for atleast 2 weeks. But I made sure to get up walk every hour, pee refill water ect while i was up to avoid extra pain. After 2 weeks easy peasy.

thats great! im so excited for you I dont think you will regret it. keep up your research i still do iit, still make mistakes and find out new things every day good and bad. Sent from my SM-T387V using BariatricPal mobile app

whoch surgery are you going with?

caltrate is not citrate but Like I said my labs were good so far I am getting enough calcium I am actually off 1 of my calcium doses and will recheck in august. If need to I will adjust then. unfortunatley with this life is about re-adjusting if need to. also I have to have stuff i can chew I cant stand swollowing pills

I take cheap vitamins! haha I use Flinstones Complete because if you co pare centrum complete has the same components and nutritions says its great. I also use Caltrate bone and health D3 600 calcium. walmart brand B complex and I do add Magnesium glycinate 400 chewable just to keep me regular because I dont like to take milk of mag and believe I stay away from food that may result in dumping syndrome now way in haities do I want to expeience that! (splenda does not give me dumping) Ive lost 78pounds since January 29th and 47 pounds since day of surgery 4/10/19 (8weeks). if I slack on vitamins I stall its wierd so I dont miss anymore! I had 1 complication it was a kidney stone but I heard its rare painful but rare amd mostly guys develop them. my doc says prob because I already had kidney issues to begin with so he doesnt really consider it complication. I consider my surgery complication free! I love it. Im only 36 and best decision ever! I used to rely on food. i find myself chewing up a piece of meat and spitting it out now thinking what the heck I dont want this right now. its totally cool but wierd!

i had the lap band 10 years ago. had complications 1 month out all fluid removed gained 55 pounds over the 10yrs tried every diet in the world. my stomach ruptured from the band eroded thru.

absolutely best idea i always keep a small 3 inch notebook everywhere i go. in the back i keep questions that randomly come up for each of my doctors and nutritionist. in front i keep food ideas that i see that i could turn healthy! Sent from my SM-T387V using BariatricPal mobile app

My multi vitamin has iron and my b complex makes my hair and nails so pretty you wont want to skip it! Sent from my SM-T387V using BariatricPal mobile app

like i said I was forced to have rny but I did so much research and talked myself out of it for a whole month gained 11 pounds out of despair because of conplications and being scared, one night 3am woke up and I was ready right then and there to start the process for rny surgery. fortunetely i only last a month before my stomach ruptured but still its a process your body and mind will figure out!

I am 8 weeks po GLB to RNY stayed in hospital 2 days and was fine on my own. Took pain meds and drank fluids for 2 weeks. My mother was a few miles away and available to drive me to Surgeons office if complication that was a contract had to sign with dr that I had someone to drive me with in 2 weeks. I hurt to get up and down but I tried to walk every hour, pee, and replace my water and protein drink while I was up. Laying in bed was only hard part and honeslt I slept in a recliner for 2 weeks anyways it was more comfy. Good luck we will be here for support.
