Shortierock

Height 5'8 starting weight was about 250 lowest was maybe 179/180 now I'm usually a steady 195/190. Goal was 180 but I kind of felt too thin. Measurements used to be 38-35-40 now they are I think 36-34-38 kind of boxey sometimes downfall I started drinking liquor in April 2015/ def had different effects didn't wait the year. I'll stop sometime but could still finish a pint. I'm trying to cut back I know overall even without the surgery it's not good to do every other day. gas and bowel movements YUCK I've only sharted on myself once or twice and that was in the first month. But the foul smell at times I feel I still eat like before, I lol eat like 1/2 then about an hour later I'm back hungry. as I type I KNOW this is due to eating and drinking at the same time !! Which I'm realizing that more and more for a while sweets candy or cake was a absolute no, but now I'll try but nothing like before which is good. i can tolerate all foods still the same, which is great. No backfire on that end. If I eat a burger I've always removed one side of the bun just always felt the bread was too much. I've stop tracking not sure good or bad. As there is not a bariatric app I've found which would be good and I'd use but with all the other apps the calories and everything is set at USA or whatever i know you can change it but not sure what to change it to as I'm aware we track protein. Let's see, I love water always have, never really like fake juice or overly sugar. I'll sip milk sometimes never whole I stopped that even before the sugar. Orange juice and water is my either or I'll have an occasional can soda, especially because it's summer right now with cookouts etc it's around. I don't weigh myself at all in the house unless I find I can't fit something that I used to wear. I will tho whenever I go to an appointment for my kids. Husband doesn't mind the changes accept the drinking because like I said I don't know how to pace myself anymore. But as far as body physical um I had my third child august 2014 and then 6 months after had my rny so prebaby had a nice hourglass Breast not much booty vs now **** I love it tho the breast change a lot of course but the little booty that was there **** can't even put a marble on it it's like I have bottom booty but no top lol scaring blends in with my stretchmarks and so I will still rock a 2 piece (32yrs old) so I guess I still have a couple more years I'd feel okay doing that. At times I find myself like omg I haven't eaten anything and other times I feel like I'm eating everything Oh pacing myself while eating too STILL teaching myself that !! Ive recently had a physical and blood work was good but haven't seen my surgery doc since my 1st yr which I should as because I do not take any vitamins and I feel when I eat I take in good amounts of the right stuff. Meat beans veggies seafood etc Oh I've tried sushi which was new and love salmon and wasabi. On a good day I can tell when I'm full and can be very disciplined, well this has been very therapeutic for me writing realizing things hope everyone else from February 2015 is doing great and they are happy with results and no or minimum regrets

Hello all, I was never a big person on FOOD.. like i ate because i had to but I could adjust to changes, like no sweets no meats etc. When I wanted to drop weight. So far so good, I went through all my phases as told. and since March 17th my doc released me to eating from every food group. I am the main cooker in the house and I have not felt deprived at anything. I seen some are angry or upset with the limit of bites they can take.. I probably have tested my limits with what I can and can not tolerate to the max.. The only thing I really dont care to chew is hamburger in spaghetti. Yesterday I ate ham, yams rice and potato salad and cabbage. I hope that in time everyone will be happy and eating enjoyably. Oh another thing I found the adverse effect for me is that my NUT stated that if drinking out of a straw doesnt cause you pain then you can, I seem to drink more fluid be it water, juice or milk I am able to get my fluids in. **When I say juice I drink orange or the sugar free snapples, iced tea etc*

Surgery date Feb 17th, rny Sw-252 Pre op-245 Cw-221 Gw-175 So far so good I have been hitting the gym and feeling really good.

So I had the bypass on the 17th, I had my 2 week follow up today got approved to lift 20 lbs, go swimming and start soft foods yay I lost 16lbs from pre-op date and a total of 28 lbs from my consulate date last year.

I had surgery the 17th. I go for my weight in on March 4th. I wanted to know what was everyone average 2 week post op weight in lost. thanks

Congrats on your step to puree, May I ask what was your weigh in weight lost amount. I had surgery the 17th. I go next week for my approval for puree

Hey everyone, So Im so excited I got the call yesterday for the date. I got next week to visit with my surgeon to start my pre-op diet. I have read so much, I know no amount of prepping will really get me prepared but Im ready. I enjoy exercising.. I cant wait to get back to it. Have any of you took measurement before ? to compare. I used to scale everyday then switched to measurements when I didnt like the scale. Hoping I have over success and balance. Dr's office said my goal weight should be 168-170.. Im currently 250.. I already know I may lose alot of my women figure hoping I can preserve some with squats and in house exercising. My family is supporting me and ready for this just as much as I am. I have my husband and 3 children. Good luck to everyone, and keep up all your hard work.

Feb 17th forestville ct

Thank you !!!

How much weightnhavevyounlst so far on liquids I feel like i wont loose any weight by the 17th

I use skim milk with whey protein 1 scoop or our protein today was my first day it fell so weird it's easier when I'm at work than home hope I meet my weight lost goal by the 13th when they weigh me

I go in on the 17th as well, I have a husband and children too. I was told to start my liquid diet today... I am to lose 12-16 lbs it seems very impossible. I would say that you are not crazy for thinking that way and writing the letters to your family.

Congrats, I just got approved. Surgery set for Feb 17th

It did go pretty smoothly, It felt like forever but Im happy that part is done. I know what you mean the prepping for this is crazy. Exactly the good and bad. But I read alot about this I love exercising and cant wait to get back into it and see results breath better and all. Cakes are my weakness sometimes, Not a chocolate person but liquor ... thats my right hand lady ... Ive cut back alot esp because I get heartburn grrrr.

Hey Robin, My surgery date is Feb 17th I officially started like went to a seminar Jan or Feb 2014. I go next Wednesday to see my surgeon and start my preop diet.

​Congratulations !!!! I just got aprroved yesterday !!! Did they give you a surgery date yet. Im excited as well I felt like I was getting my hopes up to.. Mind you my first submitted information was denied because i missed a month of Nut visit. They called me and told me Jan 2nd, I felt like crying I called the nut and had my visit on the 8th they submitted my paperwork and the 15th and now I have my surgery date of the 17th of Feb. I go next week to start my pre-op diet. I wish you the best of luck hope that I can see your journey and hear your stories.

I know I am right at the end, they just called yesterday for my surgery date. Last week I had a panic attack thinking im going to die during surgery .. and when placed out for family to hear.. They would be told she died because she wanted to lose weight and be healthy. then I was like what if I my husband doesnt like the lifestyle change in which I will not be able to do ":Shots, Shots, Shots !!!!!" Im like mmm so what im obese I wont go to jail !! After about 3 hrs of talking with my husband, Sister and a family friend that is about 5 months out I am still sure that this is what I want. The lengths that I went through before with dieting. Could hurt my body !! I do not smoke cigs but I know of people who have tried chanchex may not even be spelled right but see about using that they said it helped. My husband was just like you stopped smoking then started up again.. I support him quiting but do not fuss when he starts up again. I dont want to be that mean person in the crowd. and what I mean by that is the min you say im on a diet and you eat a burger.. you hear arent you dieting so I do not do that with him...Try to think about your mood when you want a cig. find a hobby cooking walking or go in the shower "hid" lol Wish you luck with everything. As I know I have a long transition ahead of me.

Congrats to each of you whom went in this month or are going in this month !!!

Congrats Wishing you a safe recovery

I have my appointment with the nutritionist Mid- May Pretty excited. As to I didnt even think I could start seeing the drs since Im 6 months pregnant but they said that is fine. After reading some comments I would imagine that my difficult part would be the slow chewing.. Like if Im hungry .. Im hungry and in that rush for it to be in my belly !! But Hearing that if you dont chew well you will be sick and possibly throw up, Ive done enough throwing up with this pregnancy to last me a lifetime. lol But Congrats to all for taking that 1st step and Hope I can report back next month with some more good news and appointment dates.
