I just realized that my BMI is 34.4, so I'm below the weight needed to qualify for surgery! That's pretty fun!!!!

I had RNY Gastric Bypass on 12/2. I lost 50 pounds during the first five weeks. I'm now at week 8 and my weight loss has been stalled. In the last three weeks, I've only lost 6 pounds. Very frustrating after seeing that first 50 pounds come off so quickly but I'm making a few adjustments and increasing my exercise in hopes of getting past this quickly.

I had my operation on 4 Dec 19 and found the weight loss stalls at times too. I have found that doing 3 higher intensity type exercises a week keeps things moving along. I swim a kilometer at the local pool pushing myself so I am out of breath. I also log my foods daily in an app so I can keep an eye on any unnecessary calories sneaking in.

Those are good ideas. I'm currently increasing my exercise and I've been logging my food all along. I'm also cutting back on carbs - I may have been getting a few too many in an effort to increase my caloric intake (Doc wanted me to consume more calories than I had been getting through week 5).

My wife has been on a low carb diet the last 4 weeks. I do the cooking most meals so have been cooking meals for us that are low carb. This has helped a lot and lets me plan myself what i am going to eat

Sleeved 12/20. I went back to work last thurs and seriously underestimated how tired I would be. I’m a nurse and I’m exhausted at the end of the day. I’ve been stalled on weight the last week but down 25 since surgery.

What are everyone's favorite meals right now?

I'm currently obsessed with quinoa/hummus bowls! The texture is perfect for me right now, and it feels great to eat real food again!

Prior to surgery I had a really bad sweet tooth, but now it's the savory meals that get me excited. shakes, puddings, etc, just taste way too sweet to have more than once every 3rd day or so, and even then it's only b/c it's an easy way to get my Protein in.

Another new obsession of mine is doing my hair and makeup! LOL!!! I finally feel good about myself and am taking pride in my appearance. I even watch youtube tutorials on makeup. I'm like a 13 year old! Ha ha!!! It feels great to LOVE LIFE again!!!!

I'm two months out on Tuesday. Down a total of 64 pounds from highest weight, 44 since surgery.

I think I may've figured out my Constipation issue. Only problem is that I think the Iron in my Multivitamin is heavily contributing. Now, I'm still pooping up to every four days. Some days I do poop on day two, but it's not common.That being said, I've been taking Miralax every other day in addition to my two daily stool softeners and it's easier to go. When I didn't take my multivitamin for a week my stool was much softer and came out less painfully. Started retaking my multivitamin a couple days ago and it's already harder to pass. So I'm frustrated. If the iron is a main culprit, what am I going to do to supplement that? I still menstruate so I have to have iron.

My surgery was 12/3 and I’m down 20lbs since surgery and 36lbs since I started the pre-op diet. I’m doing well over all. I’m finally getting my energy back.
I’m trying to get my eating habits in order. Sometimes I forget to eat. I’m using alarms now so i can remember.

Had by Bypass on the 16th Dec. Lost 15lb in the first month and 4 lb in the last month! I'm disabled with reduced mobility ( in a wheelchair) so realize it will be slow going. My surgeon at my checkup actually advised me to get out walking! Anyway even though I thought I would have lost more and it does upset me, I have just got to realize it is going just not as fast as I liked.😁

Surgery was 12/5, I had the sleeve.
I’m down about 25lbs and I feel like it’s going so slow. I’m getting my Water and Protein in daily. I get stuck at a weight for days (5-7 days) and then I’ll drop a few ounces, and then I’m stuck at that weight again. It’s very frustrating.

Although I have dropped a pant size and half, so that feels good. Just wish I could see it on the scale.

I had the sleeve done on 12/12 and I'm doing good. Finally down 30lbs. 20lbs came off within the first week then the other just gradually after days of stalling. Sometimes a week of stalls. I heard this is normal while you heal. I'm hoping it starts dropping more now. I feel I've broke the stall. fingers crossed lol

      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
