I had my RNY Gastric bypass on January 7th of this year and it felt I had finally found the solution I was always searching for. I began preparing to have the surgery the September prior and it felt like every moment that went by I was just waiting for the day to start my life over; like I was only half present during holidays, dates, or work and half counting down the hours. I got down to about 100 lbs this past June, just in time for my birthday; but, ill admit I hadn't been consistently playing by the rules, I started smoking again, drinking alcohol, picking at foods when I'm cooking, not taking vitamins, not exercising and loading up on the carbs. My weight loss had stopped and it seemed like I had lost all motivation to get it up and running again. It wasn't until last Monday that I was re awoken. A week ago I watched my boyfriend have the same surgery, with the same surgeon and later recover in the same room. I remembered how hard starting out was for me and I knew that I needed to be strong for both of us. I feel alive again, and I won't dare lose focus again. I bought new vitamins that I have been taking vigilantly, drinking my water and making better food choices. I'm still working on the exercise but ill get there. I'm grateful I got the opportunity to change my life and I'm even more grateful that I get to experience this journey with the person I care for most.

I'm sammisiren add me! -
I know what my dr is going to say but I was just curious if anyone tried anyway, I haven't gotten sick from anything so it kinda seems like all the stuff I'm supposed to do doesn't effect me. I still make sure I'm eating the right things and staying active but if I have had things accidentally with too much sugar I've been fine, I just don't get it

I'm only two months out and Im not addicted or anything but I work at a nightclub and generally I just have a rum and diet coke before I dj so I'm not so nervous

I know I'm not supposed to drink but I have been and nothing has been happening. I don't get sick, I don't have any issues getting drunk fast. I have 2 drinks and that's it. Is it really that bad?

I'm almost 2 months post op but I feel like the last few weeks I have been able to eat less food than I did earlier on, I feel like I'm getting full faster. Should I be concerned?

I try to have few carbs and tend to only have whole grains but the app I track my food on always says the bulk of my intake is carbohydrates this weeks lowest was 72g and the highest was 124g what do you think?
