Gabbie-1

Weighed this morning at 172. Yay looks like I broke the bounce between 177-180. 2 lbs to my 170 goal and 17 lbs to my overall goal of 155

I am so sorry Synlee, what a horrible and scary experience. Praying for the doctors to find and fix the problem quickly. We all want you to get better and healthy. Big hugs to you! 🤗

Awesome news congrats. I hit my first goal of 185. On to second goal of 170. Would like to reach it by August 1. I go see my kids August 12

Got you all beat 72 on 7/10 😁

Hi everyone. Congrats on your surgeries. I had revision from band to bypass 5/15. Still suffer a bit with fatigue. I had drains and the incisions from those are still open and red. Very tender. Sent pictures to nurse. She said just clean them. I just started regular food.
Yes things taste different
My doc prescribed Celebrex and extra strength Tylenol 4 hours apart and that handled the pain. My body has severe reactions to opioids so I can’t take them.
Walking 2-3 miles not every day though and I should
Almost 72 yrs old

I am a Christian and proud of it! Never the less Who are they to judge? Christ does not want Christians to judge others.
I had revision band to RNY 5/15. I applaud you for taking this difficult step.
Oddly people think you walk in have a quick simple procedure and the weight Miraculously starts melting away. They turn a blind eye to years of struggles, the fight to be approved and the work before and after surgery.

According to my doctor and nutritionist NO, not enough Protein to offset the fat and carbs

So, I need to share a win:
Going on a 2 week trip to Italy in 3 weeks. Need to buy some new clothes to wear on the trip and my wife had a $30 cash thing from Old Navy. We go last night and I am trying to find some shorts that are "tight" on me with some elastic, so that they will still fit well in 3 weeks when I am ~15 pounds lighter. I put on a pair of XL shorts that I think fit well. I know Old Navy stuff runs pretty big, but I was VERY happy that I could shop in a regular store (not a big and tall). That happiness doubled when my wife saw the shorts and said "Those look too baggy, let me go grab a large and see how those look". They looked awesome! So I am now the PROUD owner of 2 large pairs of old navy shorts

Find a soft one or look online for a recipe and make your own. You know your body better than anyone else. I have been following you and you’re quite sensible.

Drains are out Hooray!! I am on soft food for 4 weeks 1 Protein Shake a day. I am so happy to get those drains out.

I hear you on the tired. Tried to go for a walk today turned around at 1/4 mile and my butt was still waiting in the driveway.

Sorry my phone is doing it’s own thing
As I was saying this journey is individual to each of us. Many are experiencing Protein burnout, being waterlogged and other temporary bumps and snags. We are not trying to discourage or scare you, it may not happen to you. If it does it let’s you know, you are not alone, and this too shall pass. Best wishes on your journey and thanks for joining us.

CarolineLittle I am so sorry, and I can relate. Just the nauseas feeling no actual vomiting. I pray we get better soon

Buying 1 oz cups and water/meal prepping is the way to go. I have a timer that goes off from 8-8 still hard to keep up

I got 1/2 mile walk in around the neighborhood felt like 5, but good. Stopped every 48 steps for a sip. I got full quickly will pace it out to 60-70 steps per sip

Synlee we haven’t heard from you lately, praying all is well and you’re doing much better.
My surgery band to RNY was Monday 5/15 gained weight from 205 up to 212.5 due to fluids. Released from Hospital 5/17 at 212.5. Gassy, very loose stool, pee constantly, other than that doing good with minimal pain controlled by Tylenol extra strength melts.
Plan for today put on belly band (helps with swelling and pain), then loose sweats and hide my drains in the legs & take a walk to the end of the block a few times throughout the day. Wish me luck
Thanks

Sore, gas, and yucky drains. No more vomiting and nausea, no real pain, just tired and bored

La nena buy the unflavored Protein and add it to your Soup or broth

On my way to hospital and surgery now
