I'm 42. Had RNY revision on 6/28. Lost 22 lbs. its slow but it's moving. I'm afraid to fail so I have to keep up my routine. I try to avoid sitting at the dinner table when the family is eating. It's just hard on me. But it's getting easier daily! We will be successful at this!

Congrats!!

Awesome weight loss! You are doing great! My nutritionist said to aim for 10lbs a month. Of course I wanted about50 gone in 2 weeks but I'm 2 months and down 22. So I'm accepting it a d keep going!!

Yay!! Congratulations! Be sure to walk walk walk!!

I agree with Jewel. This is a new start. I had RNY in 2/2004 but took on bad habits after losing 130lbs and gained 80lbs back. So I'm on my 2nd chance for a healthy life and I AM going to be successful. It's a mind set. The cooking can be learned. Lots of great cook books and food network is a great help. Websites are helpful too. This site is a great support. We all want to succeed and are here for each other! Welcome!

I had to go to a business lunch yesterday with a vendor and I just ordered fish tacos. Asked for the fish to be grilled and just ate the fish out of it. I was worried before I went on what I would order. But it worked out perfectly! Good luck in Vegas!!

I'm going to try this tomorrow. This sounds so yummy!!

Looks so yummy

Congratulations!!! Welcome to your new life!!

Welcome!! Great group here!! Congrats on your upcoming surgery. After your surgery you will get out all the time because you will feel awesome!!

Today will be the last day I wear a size 22 work pant. They are falling off me!! I had to move up to a 22 back in May because the 20's were too tight. So I'm very excited to move back to my 20's!

Great job!! Keep it up! ( the losing and the honey do's)

I went back to work after a week. I have a desk job so wasn't to big of a deal. No pain or issues at all.

I'm with CottonKime. I love all the great advice and trust me I am not a big drinker. I drank a lot in the past and did gain significant weight which is partially why I had a revision. I go to business outings and like to enjoy an adult beverage from time to time. I don't plan to over endulge as I have learned my lesson. I will not do carbonation as I know that was another contributor to my gaining. We are all responsible for our own actions and for what we put in our body. On my business trip I will do vodka with Water and mio One drink for the whole dinner.

Thank goodness you arent in pain! Go with it!! Congrats!

Best of luck to you both! Congratulations on your new healthy life

Good luck! You will do great! Don't be nervous. This is the first step toward. New healthier life!

Follow the rules set forth by your surgeon and nutritionist. And Never drink while eating!
