Hi! I am Ash. I had my RNY gastric bypass on August 28th, 2013. Are there any other August post ops that would like to start a group?

I feel as you do . In clothes I feel like I look good sometimes I feel pretty sexy in clothes... Then when the clothes come off .... EWWWW. I always tell my bf that it's false advertisement... He is so compassionate. He tell me im beautiful and that it's not false advertisement because he loves me. But I just feel so disgusting when my clothes come off :-( I should see a therapist but my dr said that it's just best to get on pills... Which I'm like nah that's not what I want. It's just my mind. You'll get there tho in ONEDERLAND . It took me FOREVER to get below 200. Like was a 4 wk stall then boom in the 190s. I'm at 193 today so I'm only 23 lbs from my goal for my 1yr surgiversary but hopefully by 18mon post op I'll be in the 140s to 150 max. Somedays I feel great about myself some days I don't. It's hard. You look AMAZING btw :-)

Wait your dr wants you to just jump to meds?

Depression meds?

That's a pretty huge step there, not sure if it's the hormones that he's focusing on or just the rate of people coming out of this surgery that he sees go that way. But that's a bit of a bold comment to make to someone.

Also I stepped on the scale today and I'm officially in onederland! 199.2! I'm 54lbs away from my personal goal of 145, and my dr wants me at 177 at my one year, so I'm not so far off. I have 4 months to lose 22lbs, and if I start working out it shouldn't be that hard

I really am with you on the false advertisement ordeal. I get into clothes and I'm like wow I love my curves and take my clothes off and I'm like no no no no that is not how a body is supposed to look. But I have to tell myself my body is doing hella good because I lost over a HUNDRED POUNDS and it's not a complete saggy mess, just not as toned as I'd like it. So I think we should be thankful that the weight is coming off and focus on toning and trying to get out lives and bodies back one day at a time. This process isn't perfect but we are lucky to have wonderful guys in our lives to make it so we feel beautiful even if we don't see it

Went to NYC for the first time ever over the weekend. It was so nice to be able to walk everywhere w/o sitting down every 15 min!! Best part of the trip, seeing Hedwig in Broadway and meeting Neil Patric Harris afterward:)

Also I'm so jealous about your trip and meeting NPH!
