Newbie

Hello everyone.

I am 40 yrs old, married 23 years have 3 kids 19, 18 and 16. I live in Texas.

I had RNY 6/3/2019. My starting weight was 586. My surgery weight was 531 and today I am 388.

I'm wanting to know if anyone lost that much that quick and if you are experiencing weird things with your body, weird feelings, sensations etc..

I don't feel like "me" anymore. Is this normal?

people who start out with higher-than-normal (normal for WLS patients, that is) BMI's usually lose at a faster rate - at least for the first few months - so I'm not too surprised you've lost that much already. congrats on your loss!!

I don't remember having weird sensations, but then, it's been awhile for me...

First of all YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!
I didn't lose weight that fast and still had the feeling of not being me it takes time for your brain and body to connect and realize the changes its been going through.

It's probably a shock to see yourself in the mirror and wonder who that beautiful lady is. You will embrace your "me-ness" once you get used to what you look like now vs what is still in your head.

That’s amazing. Congratulations.

Yeah I still have funny twinges, tightness & general oddness at times. I’ve noticed my posture is poor & feel like I’m slumping all the time. (My old dance teachers would be horrified. ?) I think some of it is down to my new centre of gravity.

It will improve and you will come to recognise you again though a much smaller one with a new outlook on life.
