RNY cures gerd. Sleeve does not. RNY best thing I ever did for myself. Did it at 60 years old and am 6 months post op. 3 pounds to go before I'm below 200 and I'm doing my second 5k tomorrow night! Not one regret.

Wow!!!!

I'm 43 female. I started in February 2019 at 311 lbs. RNY on July 3, 2019 at 281 lbs. Currently, I'm down to 215 😊
I exercise every day and I'm pretty good watching my calories, Protein, and carbs, and Water.

Well I'm 49 and I had GB March 23 2019 starting weight 274 now Im at 193 so it's coming off slow but steady, but I'm not exercising like I should either. All in all I'm happy with my loss and I'm still losing every week.

@Mikeyy No offense but I'm asking females only and I specified that in the title. I obviously understand about starting weight, BMI, etc. I was looking for motivation. I don't want to hear how men lose 100 lbs in two months, okay..thanks........

Instead of making a new thread for each of my quandaries and appointments, I'm just going to post here. lol.
My home equity loan is approved! I go for closing on Friday. I have $40,000 dedicated solely to plastics, but I don't intend to spend more than 20K.
I have my consult with my surgeon on August 16th for an arm lift and Tummy Tuck and to do something about my "side boob" area. They WILL do a tummy tuck and arm lift simultaneously.
TO BE CONTINUED! I AM SO PSYCHED! AUGUSSSTTT!!

Omg that's all I want is be able to chug Water. How you doing now?

From your mouth to God's ears. Lol. Thank you for the encouragement 😁

YOU GOT THIS IT SUCKS IT DOES GET BETTER I PROMISE SOON YOU WONT BE ABLE TO GET ALL YOUR PROTIEN shakes IN REALLY !!!!

@Ren951 Also remember, just because the calendar says it's time to move on to the next phase doesn't mean your stomach is ready. You may have to stay in a phase longer than planned because your stomach is ultimately the boss!

If my two cents is worth anything, I would say definitely continue with the therapy. Then maybe try writing your non-scale victories (NSV) in a notebook. Maybe as you see the list of NSV's increase it will help you recognize the benefits of the surgery from the health and lifestyle aspect.

Thanks. I am hoping soon this will go away.

Congrats! I wish you a very speedy recovery!

I had my gastric bypass surgery Oct 1....my book from surgeion says gasx and beano OTC is okay...hopefully that will help. I wish I got tylenol with codeine. Only trammadol for the pain. and only 10 pills, i've been hoarding them, lol

Wow-30lbs lost already, that is awesome! I have my pre-op diet appt starting on Friday and am going to get myself prepped this week. I have cut out my Diet Coke addiction but still am struggling with drinking at meals too. Need to find a trick to get myself to stop it. I did not have to do a monitored diet of any sort for my insurance and I am thinking that was a mistake! We will see how much I can lose in the next 5 days.

That looks and sounds wonderful!! I’m going to try it! Thanks!!

Congratulations!!! The welcome party awaits you on this side!!![emoji253][emoji253][emoji253][emoji253]

55 pounds in first 2 months. RNY. I also focused a lot on exercise - walking, wall push ups, then stairs, then light weights, then a leg routine and stretches. Now biking and swimming and entering a triathlon this coming Saturday! Woo hoo!

So inspiring! Thanks for sharing with me. What surgery did you get?

Wow!!! That IS amazing! You have to be so proud of yourself. What surgery did you get? I am getting RNY. I cannot wait to experience every single thing you listed. Thank you for the lift. Of those 100, how much did you lose in the first 2 months?

Milk of Magnesia. A Godsend to many of us...

I cut the diet soda, and that wasn't too hard, but I know how hard it is for so many. I will miss the occasional indulge in it though. I have heard different things about carbonated beverages. Since I'm not crazy about them, I plan to stay away. I'm trying to stay as low in calories as I can, without going overboard, so that the pre-op diet won't be too hard. Some days are easy, others are a struggle and I want to eat everything. The days I'm home all day are the worst, so I try to keep busy as much as humanly possible (without neglecting my home, LOL). I find I don't get hungry cooking, so meal prep is a good at-home activity for me. TV, as with most people, is my worst time. I have cut down on my TV. I try and walk or whatever instead.
You will do amazing! We all will
Whoever says this is all easy.......they have no idea!

I look forward to continuing the countdown with you. I've lost 30 lbs as of today. I'm counting calories and watching sugar/carb intake on my own. I am eating slow and trying not to have liquids with my meals and having loads of Protein (no liquids with meals is HARD). I am ready for whatever the nutritionist will do to help (I have three of those appointments in total, and did the first...my next is 9/12).
Good luck to you and I hope to see you on here
