It's thought us December peeps needed a post op thread! Anyone here?

Redstacey you have most 100 since December? Wow. I though I was doing good by losing 54 since my dec surgery.

Me too! I am feeling nauseous since last night and I am making myself eat something but I don't want to. Wonder what's up with that?

I tried the lean meals and they made me sick. I find stuff with sauce make me sick most times. I was also told not to eat pasta because it can get all gloopy in your pouch and hurt. I am finding i am getting sick alot lately so going to call my nurse and see if maybe i am pushing myself too fast of foods. Also i am glad you said something about slow weight lose and skin you made my day. I was worried about how slow i am right now but thinking about skin shrinkage makes it ok for me now..thanks.

Noooo. I have lost 100lbs since September. I was sleeved in September and I had a lot of complications afterwards. Had another surgery in October. Then did the sleeve to RNY conversion in early December. But the majority of the weight loss has been since December 10th was my RNY. You are doing great. Keep up the good work. I feel as long as our scales keep moving downwards we are all doing a good job.

My scale moves maybe a lb a week sometimes 2 but at least some of my skin will be hopefully shrinking with my body so not as much loose skin. I know I will have some but hopefully not too much!

La Donna,

I have eaten pasta, but very little and only a few times. I am not real good about getting in all my protein and fluids, but am working on that daily. I lost about 30 pounds pre-op and about 40 since my surgery, which was Dec 9, 2013. I have not begun a specific exercise routine, however I have done some (video) work-outs since being cleared for physical activity. I have found that there are weeks where the scale moves very little, and then I have weeks where it moves much quicker. I don't think there is an exact science, and as one member already said, there is no cookie cutter method that works for everyone. I am both blessed and cursed in that I can eat anything. I mean anything! Sugar, fat, carbs…nothing seems to upset my pouch. I sometimes wish this was not the case, as it makes it really tempting (and easy) to eat foods I should not be eating.

Sounds like you are doing great! Keep up getting in your proteins, as I have heard that is the real key to weight loss.

Hope this helps!!

Ok my December peeps! It is official. I have reached the 100lb mark! I'm so excited!

Redstacy did you have surgery this dec? Wow that would be 100 in three months. I had surgery dec 31 2013. I'm at 60 lb loss. It's been 2 months as of yesterday.

Redstacy. Ok. Read the past post. Lol. But congrats to you. That's an awesome loss. Bet you feel like a new person.

Thank you so much! It has been a rough journey. Most of the weight loss has been since the bypass. I still have a hard time excepting the fact that I have lost that much weight. When I look in the mirror I still just see me@

Redstart that is freakin awesome!!! I am three months out as of March 11 and only at 60 lbs. I have not been exercising or I prolly would have lost a lot more

Redstacy. I do understand that. After losing 60 I tried on some clothes in my closet yesterday. I out on a pair of jeans and a shirt I haven't wore in a while. My adult daughter came in and told me the shirt was too big and talked me into wearing a smaller one. She told me to look at myself In the mirror. I just kept looking at my trouble spots instead of where I have lost. I wanted to put the big clothes back on because they made me feel like I could hide those trouble spots I focus on. ????. I realized I need to work on the inside me as well as the outside me. I'm a happy and loving person to everyone except me. Today I looked in that mirror and said. Dang. I look good. Lol. And I have raised a very smart young woman.

Thank you@

Nice to see I am not the only one who is having a hard time putting on smaller clothes. I still havent bought anything new and my daughters keep telling me I have too. I too still see the fat that is still there and not what I have lost. I think in time we will get past that feeling, but it is still to knew for all of us. I think just maybe when we have got to our goals we might feel better then we do right now. One thing it sure is a great feeling knowing those clothes dont fit anymore though. Now just to figure out what size a person is ....
