Shrinking Don

I was never told that just be sure to get 64 oz a day liquid

i think it may be time to step back for a few days your doing great but may be wearing yourself out

awesome job

i have dropped 52 lbs since aug 22nd and went from a 42 waist to a size 38 or 36 depends on the maker of the jeans but feels great

Anyone know how to change the before and after photos in your profile im not dumb but cant figure it out would like to add my most recent to the after for now ...(notice the name change lol)

I am 50 lbs down in 6.5 weeks looked down and said omg it really is there

teddybear i think everyone who has had any kind of bariatric surgery starts getting nervous i know i did a couple days out its more nerves then anything else don't worry you will be fine and the sleeve is still restrictive and they still need to take vitamins my sister is getting the sleeve i had RNY on 8/22/12 and i can tell you i was on all kinds of meds 7 weeks ago and now i just take my vitamins i have dropped 50 lbs in just over 6 weeks (everyone is different at the rate they will loose) i was a bit nervous going in but wouldn't change a thing

starting 301 rny on 8/22 269 cw 219 total since rny 50 lbs

so my pants have been way to big after 45 lbs gone since surgery and 30 or so before im down to 224 a guy at work today brought me some jeans his father had that were to big for him now OMG a size 38 fits good where they should be not under the big belly can't remember the last time i was in a 38 probably as a young teen maybe this journey has only begun can't wait to see where it takes me

Ok so I went to thrift store to buy some 38 shorts they didn't have any jean shorts so I tried on a size 36 and I could fit in them omg I must be 16 again

Lester everyone looses at a different pace there is no formula to go by just do what your doc says and you will do fine hope all goes well with your surgery and the start with your journey

HW 301 DOS 269 CW 221 total gone since surgery 48 lbs

i took 3 weeks as my doctor ordered could have gone back sooner if i had a desk job but i drive a truck and there is physical work involved

Welcome Butterfly i also started at 301 lost 30lbs prior to surgery dos i was 269.5 6 weeks later today i am 224. I also went to the seminar thinking i would get the lapband and left there saying i wanted the bypass which is what i did i go for my 6 weeks checkup tomorrow and think i will come totally off my diabetic meds lots of support on this site

i went out 3 days after surgery to a wrestling show i work with and was there several hrs i did not lifting or anything i think the more active you get after surgery the better i went back to driving my truck with a dump trailer 3.5 weeks post op and worked 65 hrs that week and was fine

mizz you will do great don't worry about anything i am 6 weeks out and i must say its the best thing i ever did for myself . do they have support groups in your area ? if they do use them it helps alot. Also rnytalk is great for support so you will not be alone in this ever.

yes mami i am the only guy who lives here my wifes father comes over everyday and spends time with the kids my son is 14 with downsyndrom and plenty of health problems of his own

Thank god we have two bathrooms in this apartment but omg the pms all month lol

I can tell you I am 6 weeks post op and I would do it all over again I have dropped from 270 down 225 and just don't think of the foods I know I can't eat you will love the results

Most hospitals will setup a payment plan owed 1400 payed 100 day of surgery and they are setting up payment plan for rest

I have monthlys to deal with I live with 4 women try that one hehehe

Sf pops is my savior im 5 1/2 weeks out and still have several sf pops a day to help the fluid intake they go down so easy but yes any liquid is counted toward your fluid even sf jello counts according to my doctor.
