What's your stats...you know, age, weight, height, goal?

I'm 52, 225, 5' 5" pushing for 140 but I realize I'm 52 and don't need to necessarily get all the way down to 140. I'm getting RNY

Hi Pup, curious as to why you chose RNY over sleeve? Feel free to message me if you prefer?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I guess I picked it because I saw a chart showing the long term weight loss seem to be a little better with the RNY. I have second-guessed myself along this journey so far but when I told the doctor that's what I wanted and the nurses along the way they all acted like it was a great idea, it's been around longer 2.

I think if anywhere along the Route somebody would have just said to me maybe you should get the sleeve I would have went that route, but I'm so psyched now I wouldn't change a thing.

That's really a great question because I always wonder why people decide to go with the sleeve

@@sarahb309 I was told that I could only have Clear liquids and the Soup is clear so I think that is a good option for myself. I am gonna strain the Soup before I eat it though.

It sure is. I'm usually irregular, but they said I had to be on birth control so I got the Mirena. I guess it's going to come on time. ???? Terrible... just terrible

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
