  1. I did not know that about being the most problematic. Are you comfortable wearing shorts and stuff?
  2. I’m curious how your thighs looked after surgery? I’ve always had big thighs and I’m lm looking forward to wearing short skirts this summer... wondering how everyone’s thighs looked after losing 100 pounds??
  3. Thank you for responding! That makes me feel better... just so dang frustrating when you work so hard and you see that. Yesterday abs the day before I was only able to work out for 35 minutes instead of my usual hour Because of time constraint and I was like seriously?! Ugh I hope you’re right!! I had a great week last week and now this ... trying not to get discouraged but it’s hard. I was also just put back on birth control.. seasjonique (the generic one). The dr said I shouldn’t gain weight... I’m questioning everything now ??‍♀️
  4. I had surgery September 15th and the last two days I’ve gained weight. Please tell me this has happened to other ppl?? That it will go away?? I’m so upset!
  5. This is scary! How’d everything turn out? I hope you’re home and much better now!
  6. Thank you! Can I ask what your starting BMI was?
  7. I don’t see a signature? Sorry if I’m missing it ??‍♀️?
  8. Thank you for responding! It’s good to hear I’m along path with others!
  9. Forgive the typos.. it’s all black so I can’t see as I type!
  10. I had gastric bypass in 9/15. I am 5’1 and day of surgery I weighed 250. I have Hashimotos. I’m just looking to see ppl with similar stats and their weight loss. Please, I know everyone is different, looses differently etc. I just would like to see how other ppl are getting along. So far, I’ve lost about 18 pounds post op and that seems to be so little to me. I lost about 3 or 4 pounds this week (third week weigh in) and that seems so minor. Again, I know everyone is different, I’d just like some similar ppl sharing journies so I can relate! Thank uou!
  11. Right? Lol I’m struggling more mentally I think... I still have some pain but nothing like it was. Hbu??
  12. Oh I am for sure staying on plan. Just a general comment! Was just curious what the rumbles were!
  13. May seem like an odd question ? but.. I haven’t felt hunger yet. I had my surgery September 15th. I have had a lot of noises from my tummy tho. I’m wondering if this is my insides settling (kinda like a csection) or if this is a hungry tummy rumble without the empty hunger pains? ? I should be starving.. I’ve basically only been drinking with maybe a few sooonfuls of broth. I’m so over broth I just can’t stomach it anymore ?
  14. Thank you!! You helped calm me down ?? I’m starvingggg lol
  15. I’m suddenly panicking. Surgery is the 15th. I’ve been on a liquid diet since Tuesday. The nutritionist told me that I could have a banana during the day if I needed sowmthing. Now reading other things, I’m afraid doing that has messed up my liver shrinking?? I’ve had one to two bananas a day since Tuesday. Please tell me I haven’t messed up?
  16. I’m scheduled to have my gastric bypass this coming Tuesday and I’m so anxious. I’ve wanted this and I’ve been ready and now I’m can’t stop worrying. Am I doing the right thing? I have a 5 year old that I’m his whole world.. what if something happens?? Ugh someone please please help me
  17. Yes, I’m curious too as to why you are still in the hospital. I was told the norm is 1-2 days. Obviously, everyone is different... just curious. I’m scheduled for 9/15!
  18. Good morning! My Gastric Bypass RNY is scheduled for September 15th and I’m trying to prepare for when I get home. What did you all have ready? What did you love? What did you not use? Any and all info is so appreciated!
  19. Once they got my approval, I was scheduled for three months later.. but that’s only because COVID has them so backed up. I have my surgery scheduled for September 15.
  20. Good to know, thank you ladies! Hopefully the same can be done with nature throid
  21. I am currently on nature throid. It’s a pretty small pill, as well. Maybe I’ll bring it into my surgeons office for my pre op and see what he thinks. Were you able to take it right away after surgery or did you have to wait?
  22. My Gastric Bypass RNY is September 15th!! I’ve had my date for three months now (they’ve been backed up with corona hold backs). It’s coming up quick!! Good luck to you ❤️
  23. Good morning. I am scheduled for Gastric Bypass RNY in September 15th. I’m told my thyroid medication can not be crushed or put into liquid form. I haven’t had my pre op yet but I will ask them. Just curious what others have done?? Thanks in advance!
