Just want yo say i have lost 140lbs. My surgery was September 17 2019. Thats under a year. Im in disbelief. I never thought id be here this fast. I fee amazing. Just needed to get that out🙂

you'll most likely have loose skin. But I think I can speak for the majority of us when I say that looking back, we probably shouldn't have wasted a lot of brain cells worrying about the loose skin. Most of us would take the loose skin ANY DAY over being 100 - or 200 - or whatever pounds overweight. The loose skin is a pretty minor issue when you look at the big picture. Plus for most of us, it's pretty easy to hide in clothes. And if it REALLY bothers you, plastic surgery will take care of it. So I know it's hard to believe now, but the loose skin should NOT be your biggest fear. Being 100+ lbs overweight should be. here I am, after my initial loss of 235 lbs (I've since gained 12 lbs), with tons of loose skin. See it? Doesn't it look awful?

Be watchful on this, as the caloric malabsorption of the RNY that helps in the weight loss dissipates after the first year or two and this can lead to regain for those who establish habits early on in maintenance that they can't break later. So, continue to pay attention to your weight and intake an make adjustments as needed over time.

My cholesterol was oddly high at last check..... Doc said it was genetic/hereditary most likely and suggested whole 30. Ugh. My intake amount for solid foods has always felt abnormally small and I've tried, to no avail, to 'stretch' myself. Talk about pain! Maybe time for another swallow study. 1st go round was solely focused on the horrendous reflux issues..... Scared to death of another surgery at this point but I'm opening up to a bypass for quality of life reasons. Pot helps most everything

It’s already Wednesday & it seems to have flown by.. hope the rest of this week does! I keep tripping up on the “week OR SO” part... what the hell does or so mean? I’m so technical lol

Hi all! What are some good Facebook pages to join with pseudo accounts? Any good Bypass pages? #secretMeow

I dont. I've been camera shy the past few years because of the weight gain. So I dont have an insta. But yes. That stuff really rewlly works. Its funny because my boyfriend thinks I have powers because everything I want i usually get. When I put my mind to it. Lol. Maybe we will be July surgery buddies!

I’m there with you. My appointment is on Monday then they’ll submit.. I just want to know already! And I think it all depends on the doctor honestly.

It's really hard to lose the weight when you're stuck at home and don't use the calories you normally use running around all day. I've gained a few pounds. I do Pilates and run most every day. But I agree, the struggle can be very hard. If anyone is about to tell me to work on my food addiction, save it.

This size... No But this size... *Maybe (Ask your surgeon for sure)
