Currently 20 months post op... I have held steady between 163-168 for the last 6 months. Re-committed and working hard to get down to my goal of 155! The holiday season was a struggle but I've corrected my eating and brought my Water intake back up. Now, just to get back to the gym.

I agree with the two above... most of my wardrobe is from Maurice's! Love their jeans and their dress pants ( and tops and accessories... [emoji12])

I was just diagnosed with this as of yesterday. Anyone know anything about it or dealt with it? My Rhumetologist thinks it may be linked to malabsorption due to my bypass. I am very grateful that I have not been diagnosed with lupus, which was the docs first thoughts. I am just shy of 1 year post op and looking for someone who may have this or know someone who has.

I've been waiting and watching this thread for quite a while.... Today I get to post! My starting weight was 263 and today I weighed in at 162.9!!! I finally made it to 100 lbs lost! At left this Saturday at my BFF's baby shower where I ran my a** off getting everything ready (I think this pushed me to the 100lb mark ) At right exactly two years ago. Not quiet my highest weight but I thought it was appropriate as it popped up on my Facebook feed yesterday!

Update! Had my surgery today... I guess it was a little messier in there than they thought it would be! I'm pretty swollen and sore but, I'm ready to get going on the physical therapy and to start exercising again! Also super exciting that they didn't stick me with the ugly tan hospital socks! Got downsized to the blue, much better to look at ????

Mod Cloth has cute high waisted bikini bottoms too! These caught my eye... If we can't eat them... Wear them????

I got a s'mores flavor, I love it. I have the vanilla too but usually reach for the s'mores first.

My weight loss and newly discovered self confidence led me to sign up to be an extra in a commercial that my employer is filming! Would never have dreamed of volunteering for something like this a year ago! Filming is tomorrow, wish me luck!! ????

Congrats @@Salonboi looking good!!!

I went straight to the endoscopy... Could be because I let it go so long though all I had was a pin hole opening and was severely dehydrated. Ended up having a total of 6 until they were able to get me stretched out enough. I welcomed the procedure because afterward I felt so much better!

Here's one of me and my cuddle puppy! He likes to give hugs but was really good while I was still tender after surgery. Unfortunately now that I am having knee pain that seems to be his favorite place to cuddle up!

I had my surgery in May last year and flew out to California in July. The trip was great but I really had to be careful eating out. I hadn't eaten anywhere but home before my trip (except for Wendy's chili and Taco Bell pintos) and the first few meals were a challenge. By the end of the trip I was just requesting an extra salad plate and taking a few bites from the rest of the family. Just be prepared with high protein snacks and water bottle and you will do great!

I got the Fitbit scale for Christmas and am very happy with it. Everyone in the house has synced with it. My favorite part is being able to visualize my loss with the chart in the Fitbit App. It seems to be pretty accurate. Yesterday I weighed in the AM with no clothes and came in at 168.5 then fully clothed at the doctor I weighed in at 172.8 I've always thought 4-5 lbs is a pretty accurate amount to add for clothes and shoes.

I love my FitBit Charge HR and I got my husband the Surge and he is happy with it. We are both iPhone users as well and haven't had any problems with syncing. I like the Surge but I feel that it is too bulky the Charge HR is the perfect size for me. I liked the Flex but I was missing out on the heart rate. The Blaze looks pretty cool and has more of that iWatch look but it's so new I haven't seen any reviews.

Thanks for the feed back! No surgery is ever really that easy is it??
