HOW LONG IT TOOK AND WHERE I STARTED-

I started in November 2017, my appointments went quickly. I was held back by not doing well enough in nutrition classes. My surgery is scheduled for July 25, 2018. That's 8 months of waiting.

HW-375 CW-355 SW-TBD

I had my RNY bypass October 10th 217. No hunger as of this date. I have lost 156 lbs so far. I am 13 pounds from goal.

You haven’t been hungry since 10/17/2017??? ?

That I said correct. Some people's hunger hormone returns, some people's don't. Mine could come back, but it hasn't yet. I'm taking full advantage of that.

Keep up the good work Laura, you look amazing!

Sorry to hijack but I'm curious I've read that VSG removes hunger hormone but what can you tell me about RNY is your hunger same or different since surgery even in the first few months??? Tnx

My hunger has been only emotion driven. Actual hunger is basically gone. I don’t get actually hungry for like ten hours.

Time for an update! I know many people don’t eat pasta but here is my meal prep of chicken, tomato pesto, spinach, fresh parsley in a garlic butter sauce. I got 15 servings out of it and it goes in the freezer portioned out so I can just grab one and go whenever.

Here are my Baritastic measurements. I’m down from 274 inches to 239 inches overall.

Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

I got my Protein chips and bars from bariatricpal today. The chips are super great and I also had the almonds today which are so filling. I wish they didn’t cost quite this much! I’m out of my shakes, waiting for them in the mail. I will be getting on the scale tomorrow, my batteries for the scale finally came in. I have personal training tomorrow, I’m doing well with that. I’m losing about 2.7lbs a week but I should be losing about 3. I eat a little more calories that I should. I’m also having a lot of carbs. No sugar but a decent amount of carbs in addition to my protein. So, that’s my update.

Just remember how much weight that is. Pick up a lb of butter and you are losing almost 3 of those a week!

GUESS WHAT???? IM PREGNANT!!! That’s why I had the surgery! Yay!

Congratulations so happy for you and the hubby??

That is amazing. Congratulations!

Congratulations! Exciting news!

I lost the pregnancy. ? it was very early; the forum was one of the only places I could post so soon - anonymously. I hope my journey leads to a viable pregnancy. That is my only real goal, not a number. I have lost a little weight and body fat recently. I had some serious food aversions in my first weeks of pregnancy. Thanks for the support. I’ll keep you guys updated.
