New here and preop for rny



Recommended Posts

Hello! My name is Colleen. I am at the very beginning of my journey to a healthier me! I started on 11/22/16 with my PCP for my 3 month supervised diet for my insurance. I weighed in at 258.8 lbs. My highest weight was 268.0 lbs. I then had my next appointment on 12/22/16 and weighed in at 244.0 lbs. This surprised me for the better.

I will have my next appointment on or after 1/22/17. And I see my surgeon for the first time on 1/30/17.

Of course that can't get here fast enough! I know I will have a ton of preop tests and that is fine. I know with each day I am closer to a healthier me.

I'm just here to introduce myself and get familiar with the site. I need all the help I can get and everyone on here seem awesome and encouraging!

So, any input or advice for a newbie?

Oh, I am from Central Texas and looking for buddies!

Thanks! I look forward to chatting on here!

Colleen

Welcome and congratulations on taking the steps to get healthy. What a great way to start your new year!

I am an RNYer as well. I am almost 28 months post op. I lost all of my excess weight 152lbs in all. Almost half of me!

I am much healthier than I have been in many many years.

About to go through a second set of plastics in a couple of weeks and I am excited. I will be having a Tummy Tuck, breast lift with augmentation.

I am ready now to get rid of all the loose skin!

Best of luck to you on your upcoming surgery. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself.

      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?

      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
