  1. Happy 30th Birthday aep2k1983!

  2. I'm finally "normal", my BMI is now 24.6!!!!

  3. I hated working out in the beginning but at 5 months out, I feel guilty if I don't do it. Once you start, it will just become routine & it really does make a difference. You will feel better all around. I got a Striiv pedometer & it really encourages me to get my steps in. You can do challenges with the app on your phone & earn coins etc. I really like it.

    yogurt help!

    I usually just get the nonfat greek yogurt, usually Dannon. I then add sugar free jello mix. I think it tastes great that, and I usually one use strawberry. I have also tried the Dannon Light & Fit ones. I believe they both have about 8 carbs a serving.
  7. I also noticed my husbands ability to put his arms completely around me, with extra room to spare. The other thing that I keep realizing and it still feels weird--I can look down and my stomach doesn't stick out further than my chest does. I'm 5 months out 60 lbs down.
  8. The first picture was taken the day before surgery. The second picture was taken this week. I'm 5 months out and I have lost 60 lbs. I know that isn't as much as many others, but I'm so very proud of my progress. I feel wonderful and know that having RNY was the best the decision I could have made. I would really like to lose 20 more lbs to be at my "goal" weight, but I would also be ok with only losing 10 more. If I can get the 10 lbs off, I would actually have a "normal" BMI, which is really all I want

    Caffeinated coffee post-op

    I have my coffee every morning and it hasn't bothered me in the least. I say go for it. If you don't feel well after drinking it, then you will know that you can't have it . I'm sure you've heard it's all really trial and error.

    Salad Anyone?

    I've had problems with lettuce & veggies. May be TMI but gave me horrible gas & bloating... I'm almost 5 months out. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
