Weight Warrior

Wise words. could not have said it better.

If you are having the RNY get Mickey D's out of your system before the surgery. after the rny it will cause....lets just say some VERY unpleasent things too happen with as much fat is contained in those bad boys

No S**t . i run on 4 maybe 4.5 hours of very sound sleep ( per my fitbit) and im re-energized. how many of us are experiencing this since our 2.o hardware upgrade :-) . that is my code for the rny. yes i know im a geek

These are all very normal feelings. the surgery is the easy part .... its after the surgery when it all begins. it sounds like you are prepared. trust me while there are some challenges ahead keep your eye on your goal. this is what will motivate you to suceed. All of here will be glad to offer advice and help. alot of us are up late and rise early. ANY!!! questions ask..

I wouldnt put a firm timeline on the surgery date it could only lead to frustration. i was to have my surgery in late January but due to additional testing and getting to the appointments i didnt have my surgery until June 2013 While it took 9 months since the approval it was time well spent. i was able to adopt a menu that was and is healthy and start an exercise program that worked for me at the time. as Mel pointed out it will happen DO NOT loose hope. those people you want to amaze are not the ones you need to amaze...its you. you are doing for you and only you.

Aeswtloss, welcome to the group. you could not have found a better group of people to get skinny with :-) if you have any questions please ask! all of us here have been through some major life changing events in the past year and i can only speak for myself. but the best decision i have ever made....last year i could not walk 50 yards....today did a brisk 5 mile hike....life gets better and better....welcome!!!

Looking good Mel, not that its important but how did you do? and more importantly how do you feel?

Wooo hooo! Congratulations on your awesome victory! it made my day.

Show those four pounds whos the boss. kick their a** . i know you have it in you :-)

Thanks Mel . you need to tell that to women here in Pennsylvania :-)

Wogging, lol thanks for the laugh Mel great way to start my Friday.

Ladies & Gentlemen ...... A short note on this milestone day.....I'm now down 200 lbs. I should get to goal weight by August or September if I stay on this course. Yea me!!! I know we can all get to where we need to be. I'm so proud of all of you. I can honestly say that this group is a big part of the reason I am able to reach this milestone weight loss number. My sincere thanks for all of your support. Well so much for keeping this short :-) RJ

Im within 2 pound of breaking the 200 lbs lost milestone! they are not going gently into the night! I thing they are the ghosts of cheesesteaks and hoagies past.......damn them :-) have a great day all you skinny people. PS: we all Rock!!!

Congratulations. great things await you.

Very very happy for you rocking the rny beautiful lady! congratulations and love life. im impressed you made the career change . its all about inner happiness

Take a photo of that happy moment. i want to see your smile :-) im heading to Texas over the summer cant wait to experience that feeling

Graceann. first off congratulations on the transformation you look amazing. secondly listen to everyones advice, stay on target keep mixing it up with your protien and water numbers. more is not necessarly better. you need to keep your body guessing so hit the numbers set by your nut and what i do is keep the other numbers inconsistant. but always more exercise good and is the major key to the loss. hope to see less of you next time you post :-) RJ

Congratulations. a wonderful milestone im so very happy for you :-)

Reconizing the problem and addressing it is a sign you will be ok :-)

Is anyone else having a clothing issues ? I seem to be going down sizes faster than i can wear clothes? not bragging its just frustrating...... ahhh now i feel better

Yea that sucks , I forgot to put mine on a charge the other day and it cut out half way through my day , I felt cheated. check a local target I know they sell chargers and fit bit accessories . Hope it works out for you

This makes me very happy.
