Mami I'm so happy you're back and things are working out well for you! Now can everyone else call a truce and let's get back to being nice to each other?

Not really anymore, I'm about 3 months out. But in beginning, heck yes! I had a very sensitive nose

I'm getting the date of my surgery as well as the phrase "Spread Your Wings" My auntie has told me this my whole life and it's something that helped me make it through this process! Just waiting until I hit goal weight or my one year!

I'm only 2 months post op but as far as support and understanding, I think you need to just say screw it and do it. No one else has to walk in your shoes or live your life. Do what makes you happy!

I'm still getting used to it but I'll try to hang around!

You all look amazing! Hope I look that good five months out!

I am almost 8 weeks out and was able to eat lettuce at 6 weeks. No word on dill pickles besides to avoid them due to high sodium but I have had a few bites and have been fine as long as I drink extra Water.

The pink dress is me at my highest weight around 330ish pounds. Then me 7-7.5 weeks out from RNY! Feeling good.

Well congratulations! Your surgery date will be here before you know it!!

Had mine on Sept. 16 so I'm almost 7 weeks out and on soft foods. Just experimenting with foods. Had a bite of homemade macaroni and did fine. Chicken and ground beef have been fine. I'm down 44 lbs as of 10/28. Feeling good.

AmandaLove I started my journey in November of 2012. After having my gallbladder out the surgeon told me I had fatty liver, more specifically, I had the liver of a 70 year old and he recommended WLS. That January I started the approval process which entailed: 7 nutrition visits, a psych eval, and medical clearance. In July I was denied and then approved a week later. My surgery was scheduled for 9/16/13. I did another medical clearance appt., blood work, x-rays, and a endoscopy. I'll be 7 weeks post-op on Monday and I'm doing great. No complications.

Good luck Tiny! I hope things are and continue to be well! I wish you nothing but the best and have loved reading your posts! Come back soon!
