I find I’m cold most of the time now, too. Especially just after eating.

Hello! I had my RNYGB Feb. 13. I am progressing well. My little incisions are healed. I am having a hard time with the taste if anything sweet. Ugh. Also getting my Vitamins down without gagging is a challenge. For some reason the Protein Powder is a challenge so I have been getting most of my Protein with the special milks and Greek yogurt smoothies. I also found pureeing légume Soups worked great for me, though I am getting tired of them. I am down 30 lbs today since January 29, and am freezing all the time, especially my hands and feet. I sleep with fuzzy socks now! Lol

Please find healthy Snacks like dates, fruit and veggies and drink lots of Water it will help. Remember why you had the surgery and all the success you achieved thus far then ask yourself is it worth it. Fight, fight, fight through the snacking- get fruit and veggies have them in containers ready on the go. You‘ve come too far to go back where you started..... The choice is your, which will you choose maintain your success or or go back to the beginning? Good luck!

Wow, you don't even look like the same person--great job! (love your Pug, too!)

I'll echo what the other said, and add that you probably had the typical "three week stall" during this period of time. You probably didn't lose anything for a couple of weeks. Most of us went through that. Stalls suck, but they are more prevalent than periods of loss post-op (at least in my experience).
The key is to keep to your plan, especially during these frustrating periods. The weight will come off, and you will get where you want to be.
Good luck!

Are you taking a ppi? If not, try it and see if it helps your hunger.
Also, 6 pounds in a month is fine for lower bmi. The weight is going to come off slowly but steadily. It adds up!

I confess that it brings me IMMENSE joy that I weigh less than my two best friends.

Worth mentioning it to your team because sometimes after surgery the thyroid can go loopy which would make you cold, BUT you have lost 40lbs of heat holding insulation too.
Last winter here in UK I slept with a t-shirt and summer quilt on allllllllllll winter and I would moan at the husband and kiddo for turning the heatin up. WELL, this winter I am in bed with a 10.5 tog quilt on, nighty, pj bottoms AND a hoddie haha and the heating is set to 20 degrees c, where as last year I moaned when it was 17-18c!!

I am in the same boat. It has eased up a bit. I tried a new Protein Drink and I try to keep moving to get everything down

Progress!

Good deal am glad it helped. The first month is not a joke and the modified diet is not easy. Things you liked before you may still like it but also may not. BUT, your desire for what does mot work for you may come back, it did for me. Call me if you need to talk through a tough period. I am here for you all. My number us 405-417-2538.

You will, my #1 success story is that I remember daily why my doctor choose this route and the words he spoke...without a large amount of weight off in a shorter period of tome my life expectancy was short. I remember those words always and if i choose to go back into my old ways and habits I can expect a shorter life expectancy. #notme!!

You got this, if you beed me just reach out you can call if you need to as well. I am here to support.

Dam girl. I hope I can be as disciplined and look as good. Surgery next month.

Great question, my response...
1. Remember why you had the surgery every day.
2. Stick to the plan
3. If you don't see the weight falling off, don’t sweat it because it will...soon
4. Be discipline and avoid an abundance of sugar and carbs.
5. Read labels if the card and sugar count is high push away from it. Again remember why you had the surgery it will help.
6. Remember, you can lose all the weight and get healthy and go right back to where you started. There are many people who have gained the weight back.
7. Remember, the surgery is just a tool, not a quick fix. You have to put in the work daily.
8. Drink your water!!!
I hope this helps and if you need to call me you are welcome yo do so.

I didn't even realize that I wasn't supposed to have "relations" until after I was cleared for it.
Easy Tip: He can stand.
Pro Tip: He can plank.

I wanted to start a (safe) place where people can just vent ❤️

Maybe you could sell the bras online. I still think we should have a buy sell or trade group 😉
