Hi everyone. So happy to see so many of You remaining active on our Forum. Congrats to everyone! This has been a journey. I am doing well My labs are awesome, feel great about it. I am almost at goal weight. Woohoo. I can’t believe it. I’m still working out about 5x a week and recently bought a new spin bike. So excited. Hope you are all well !!

congrats on all the weight loss!! I think it is indeed tough not to compare. I try to focus more on my eating and exercise and think of it always as my PERSONAL situationship. You are all doing great!

Hi friends! Just checking in. So proud of all of us. I still cant believe I had surgery lol. Ive been running 3-4x a week, 4 to 6 miles. Feels amazing. My hair loss has slowed down, which is great...I have a lot of hair so not noticeable to the public eye but very annoying and messy. Well I hope you are all well!!!

I am officially out of obesity! 29.9 BMI..ill take it lol.

oh my everyone is doing so well!! congrats to all!

hey everyone..hope you are well!

thanks!!! For cardio I either take peloton classes or use the elliptical for 45 minutes. I make sure I get over 10k steps at least 6x a week. I was also doing very light weight training. No more than 10lbs. Now that I am clear for everything, I am doing a lot of strength training and cutting back on cardio. Exercise helps a lot withy anxiety. Sadly a few years ago due to an injury I slowed down and gained a bunch of weight.

Hey everyone! Happy Labor Day. Hope you are all well. Just checking in. I’m heading into my week 7. So far so good. Glad I can finally begin to do some intense workouts. Still feel some pain on my left side so I will take it somewhat easy. Lol. I feel so good and loving all the NSV. So far I’ve lost 37lbs since the day of surgery.

Hi everyone! Checking in with you all and hoping you are all well. I’ve been out of the US on a mini vacation and wow it’s been a crazy time. First of all there’s not much I can eat obviously. I tried ground lean beef and chewed the heck out of it, and felt severe tightness, sooo much pain for about 20 minutes. Literally only had a bite of it. Won’t try that again. I bought eggs and my stomach loves it as well as turkey meat. I have Been working out and lost about 7lbs during my vacation. All I can think about is how much food I would have eaten had I not had surgery. Lol. Yumm frozen margaritas with guacamole and chips on the side. How are you all feeling ??

Had RNY 7/23/2020 down 28lbs since surgery. I am doing ok, still experiencing some sharp pains on my left side but nothing too bad. Working out daily by walking, spinning and doing youtube classes with the kiddos. My son loves it so much lol.

Glad to hear from you! That sucks at vomiting. Hope it doesn't happen again. Yassssss @ exercising. Same here, working out feels so much better now lol. I feel so happy knowing this time next year, I will be super healthy. I have a small NSV. My XL Old Navy shirt, its huge..down to a large woohoo. Keep pushing everyone! Looking forward to hearing from you all.

hope everyone is having a great weekend. how are you all feeling?

Be kind to yourself xoxo

TMI the constipation is REAL. I bought Medicated Laxative Suppositories and it worked like a charm.

wow, that's crazy... I personally had a 2 day pre-op liquid diet. However, I did more than 2 days.

good luck!! speedy recovery!

hi everyone, I am feeling really well. Still cant tolerate protein shakes, no matter what brand/flavor/homemade it is. I am still able to get my protein in through other approved measures. I cant wait to move to thin purees this Friday and eat a little more protein based foods other than yogurt. So far I am down 18lbs since surgery. Hope you are all well and wishing everyone a speedy recovery. Cheers to August!

I’ve been exercising since I came home from the hospital. On my spin bike 30 mins and 30 min speed walking. Tomorrow I will begin spinning for 45 mins and some very light calisthenics. No lifting until maybe end of August

good luck tomorrow Kelly!! speedy recovery.

hey everyone. hope you are all well. @mmmmhill, I can relate, I too feel fantastic. It Is a little shocking, Ive been able to take hour long walks and not feel drained. I see my doctor in a few days for follow up visit. I hope all is well. It has been a little tough getting all my protein in. The dietician did tell me not to worry If I am unable to do 80g of protein so long as I am able to get liquids in. I have been at around 50g of protein per day.

that sounds delicious! I will try this one tomorrow. I made a peanut butter and jelly shake with cashew milk that has 10g of protein per serving, organ organic vanilla with 21 grams of protein, 2 servings of PB2 and a tablespoon of sugar free strawberry jelly, 1/4 cup of plain greek yogurt..all less than 10 grams of sugar. it was delicious.

@maybemeow. I am doing so so. I do not like premier protein so I’m going to make my own shakes. Just had to reorder my PB2 powder to add extra protein. I’ve been doing well with my liquids. I have to step up my protein ASAP as I want to minimize the loss of hair and muscle mass. Pain wise I am doing super well. I have not taken any Tylenol since last night. How are you ? How is everyone.

Hi everyone. I’m heading home woohoo. How is everyone feeling ? @maybemeow definitely will be drinking my liquids today. Lol do now want to return to the hospital.

Hey thicc! Consider your pros and cons. I’m at the hospital alone because I don’t want to put my family at risk for covid. My favorite loved ones are older and/or have compromise immune system. With that said, I don’t feel completely lonely because I FaceTime with them throughout the day. Would that be an option for you? I know is not the same to have folks with you physically. if you do decide to go through with this, remember your purpose, your goals and remind yourself you won’t be there for ever. Good luck with your decision.

Thank you @wishmesmaller! I am in my room now. Watching the Yankees game ♥️ I love my baseball. Feeling good. I can feel the pain of my stomach being cut. However, I am handling it well. Hope you are all ok. I am not allowed to eat or drink anything today. They provided me with the mint “popsicles”. Works well for dry mouth.
