Where did you find this calculator. I’m curious where I stand. I’m guessing I will bade to do it for Bypass and DS and pick the middle but maybe they will have the SADI.

This site is pretty cool. Doesn’t have my surgery yet but that’s not entirely surprising. Thanks.

You're welcome! Yeah, I noticed that. I did read somewhere that with a SADI you can subtract an additional 5-10 lb loss on top of an RNY. Not always guaranteed but usually equal to an RNY.

Tonight was my first exercise. I just walked around the neighborhood for 30 minutes but it’s a start.

30 minutes is great going - a win!

Okay so tonight was night two of my walking exercise and I got only two minutes down the road and it started to rain. I turned around and made it just before it poured. Well I’m the past that would’ve been a perfect excuse for me to not do it and a couple more things like that and it never would have become a habit but not tonight. I stayed in my clothes and kept checking outside until It slowed to a sprinkle again and went and did my other 25 minutes.

aside: when i was bigger, i would not go rock climbing or any sort of clasped-in activity because i was embarrassed to put the harness on and have my abundant a$$ in full-squeezed-out glory on display to the masses below

now, i love this harness cuz it gives me a free BBL lol:

today's win: i pooped!!!

i left for vacay Aug 23 (13 days ago), came back 2 days ago and finally pooped this morning!!!!!!

(aside: i ALWAYS have vacay constipation, so this was expected )

some fun statistics cuz statistics are FUN:

- 115.0 lbs morning we left (Aug 23)

- 119.2 lbs the night we came home (Sept 3)

- 114.8 lbs after my poop this morning (Sept 5)

which means i've been carrying around AT LEAST 4.4 lbs of poop in my colon for at least 2 days. that in itself if a win, if u ask me ???
