Hi my name is Heather and I had RNY on 11/18/13. I am looking to connect with other African American women who had RNY. Any takers?

That part!!

What I SW?

I'm 5 months out from GB and I've lost 65lbs. But I have been stalled for 3 weeks! I take in 900 to 950 calories a day get all my protein in and drink at least 100 ounces water per day. I've tried walking more miles during the week. Someone I need help, words of advice, ANYTHING. I'm really feeling a certain type of way right now HELP!

I've never heard of a hotgeat tank top or a hotgear wrap belt untl now. How have those been helping you since you got them?

I've slowly gotten back into the gym. I was cleared to finally be able to work on my core but ever so gently.

I'll see how that goes starting this weekend. I've been only doing treadmill and stairs but that will change this Friday (and Sunday) :).

It helps you to really build up more of a sweat when your really putting in a workout, or just out walking, shopping, doing laundry. So that even the most menial of daily tasks you do, you can sweat or perspire out more. Wish you lots of success in all you're doing. Eventually I want to buy their shorts. My thighs & stomach will be served better with it. My toughest areas in working out & weight loss. Ugh. lol. Remember, it's not speed, but consistency that helps make the differences. Hugs.

Depending on how its used, in these forums it can mean 1. Starting Weight or 2. Surgery (Day) Weight pre-op. Hope that helps unless someone else has another WLS meaning for "SW". Cheers & best of luck on your journey.

Dare I say not enough calories might be the problem.

I stalled almost 2 weeks. I read that not enough calories even though you're getting your protein and water can stall things. Right now I keep between 1200-1500 calories.
ANOTHER thing .... sodium intake. I noticed that some of the things I ate which were technically low-calorie had a bit too much salt. I'm back to losing...slowly but surely.

What brand do you have/use? I see so many varieties on Amazon....i'm afraid to get the wrong one.

I definitely want the belt and the shorts. And you're absolutely right it's about the consistency.

Don't know if you're on FB or INSTAGRAM, but that's how I learned about them. The brand I currently use is GOTYGOTY (stands for Girl Of The Year).

Their site is:

http://gotygotyplus.com

There's another that one day I'd like to test run called BodyFix (also on IG) & their site is:

www.shopthebodyfix.com

Both companies show pics & videos of men & women (mostly gals) wearing/ using their gear! ?? Btw, if/ when you purchase & wear these garments, wear a tee shirt or tank top under it and their arm bands; thin material leggings under their shorts/capris. Not just to see how much of a sweat you worked up & it keeps you motivated. But also you don't want the garment's underside against your skin. I'm VERY sensitive & break out almost from anything. I found that out. ??

Also, these hotgear items need to be HAND WASHED & DRIP DRY. Machine wash and dry on any light cycle can damage the materials within the fabric's fibers that help you to pull that perspiration from your body. They go into detail on their sites.

Toodles.

Check 'em out if you wish. Yeah, that's my pics below. Cheers & all the best. I tried to post screenshots, but had trouble. Oh well

For the same reason there are threads for surgery months, men's section, women's section, types of surgery etc. Because peeps like to bond over what connects them. It's not a hard concept.

When someone of another race goes into a thread named "African American RNY Sisters and pulls an old thread to comment on, their purpose is to cause confusion.

People go too far. Not surprising... Spread love. Not hate.

I forgot about this thread but yeah it's annoying. Being "colorblind" hurts more than it helps. Some people are so busy acting like they're "WOKE" (when black people speak) that they're sleep.
