We have the exact same starting weight and very similar body types. I'm 3 weeks post-op but lost 124 pounds prior to surgery. My saggy skin was bad before and just keeps getting worse but to me- it's worth it! I sure didn't look good at almost 400lbs and so what if I don't look the greatest with my clothes off once I reach my goal Thanks for your honesty and inspiration.

I had RNY bypass 12/29. My highest weight was 368, surgery day weight was 266, current weight is 252 at 17 days post-op. Surgery went well, was able to move around pretty well which helped with the gas pains. Had a drain which got infected and I have an abscess under where it was removed now but it's starting to feel better. I was on clear liquids for one day- full liquids for one week- puréed for 2, then can move to soft for 2. I'm sooo over the liquids and puréed already! I want food! Lol I feel hungry all the time! I'm doing everything I was told but just need food I think! I haven't had any sicknesses for any foods although I developed a cough after surgery which hurt really bad and was told to take cough syrup which made me have a little dumping in pretty sure because I started sweating, felt like I was gonna puke, etc. They didn't tell me sugar free syrup and I totally had a brain fart!! I also got VERY sick after the barium swallow but no foods have made me sick! Can drink the protein shakes just fine, etc. I just want regular food or at least scrambled eggs! Haha I've had difficulties planning meals while out! Just gotta remember to bring a shake with me.
