I'm down 20 pounds as of today. I'm limited on exercise because I have a broken foot, so I'm losing slower than I'd like. I'm looking to join a gym near me with a pool so I can get some exercise that way. I'm following my docs orders too.

Hi.. I'm only down 10 pounds too since my RNY, It's been slow and I'm walking too. Going back to my yoga in the next week or so and adding the gym. The surgeon said 6/8 weeks recovery.

My surgery is schedules for July 25th! It's almost here! I am required to be on a low carb/high Protein diet for these 2 weeks before surgery. The primary reason for this is to shrink the liver some before surgery. Good luck to all here....Let's do this!!

Stephi Congratulations!!! How are you doing?

Hi there! I'm doing well. The first couple of days were not the best. Gas was the worst! Since then it's been okay. I did the Optifast shake for 3 weeks before surgery, so afterwards Protein Shakes were honestly making me sick. As of Monday I was able to start some purées, so that helped a lot!
Where are you at in the process?

      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
