Thanks! I feel fantastic. 170lbs gone and counting!

I am one year out today!

Has anyone tried this? Results?

Hi all! I am 6 months out and live in the greater Boston area. I'm wondering if there is anyone in the greater Boston area who can recommend an Ob/Gyn who has worked with post-RNY patients. Disclaimer - I do NOT plan to get pregnant (if at all) for another year or so, based on guidance from my bariatric surgeon, but I want to plan ahead and do some research re: informed Ob practices so that I can discuss options with the practice. Any tips/recommendations/suggestions are much appreciated!

For anyone craving pasta or looking for something good to eat alongside protein, try Tofu Shirataki. I buy the angel hair variety from Whole Foods - 20 calories and 3 carbs for an entire package, which is one serving ( I eat about 1/4 usually). Tastes like the real thing, especially with some marinara sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese!

Here's my side by side. 5 months out and down 112lbs, wearing the same shirt but different pants (the old ones fall down). Keep up the great work every one!

I had RNY on 2/23 and have been on and off this site, hoping to connect with some like minded people for support. I am 34 (for another month, anyway) and have 2 little ones at home, and would love to have a couple of buddies to help keep me honest through this process. Kika - if you're still looking for a buddy, I am here!

Hi all - Had RNY on 2/23 and would love to check in with others at about the same stage. I am down a total of 66.8lbs and am feeling great! I am not exercising as much as I would like to because I still can't get more than 800-900 calories a day, and found myself stalling when I was exercising on top of chasing my two kids around. I figure my regular life is fairly active plus adding in gardening, intense house cleaning, etc., and walking the dog, I am covering my bases. Would love to hear where others are with weight loss, calorie intake, carb intake especially, etc.

Potentially stupid ? alert...does taking three Viactiv chews at the same time have any impact on weight loss? I have been told to take three - one in AM, one midday and one in PM, but my work/life makes that hard, so I take all three at the same time along with my chewable multi. I am 7 weeks out overall having good results but pretty slow progress recently, and just wondering if anyone thinks it could be related?

That must be so frustrating! What about tracking - does that make a difference? I think changing what you eat and how you're working out could help. If you're doing/eating the same things maybe you're just in a rut and your body isn't being challenged?

I have biotin in tablet form - is yours liquid or do you crush the tablets?

Where do you get these?

The sugar free doesn't cause any issues for you?

The chest discomfort is likely because you are drinking too much in one sip or are full. The pouch is very high in the abdomen and what you feel in your chest is actually your new stomach!

I can relate so much to this. I just had RNY on 2/23 and I seem to focus much more on the very few people in my life who have been less than supportive, but trying my hardest to hear the many supportive voices all around me. This forum is great because it is really all positive and is a safe place for us to come garner strength and support from others who have walked this same path. I find it so helpful to talk with veterans and newbies alike. How are you feeling so far, physically?
