I am also wondering. I am 11 months out and have only lost 3 pounds in the last two months. I am 15 pounds from goal so starting to worry this may be it for me.

I am currently 11 months out from surgery. I had RNY at 211 pounds and had great loss for 8 months. In total the last 3 months I have lost only 6 (less than 2 pounds per month). My diet is still very good, however today I am up 3 pounds from my lowest. Have I got bottom only 11 months out? I still have 16 pounds to lose to reach goal. How many months out from surgery did you reach bottom?

How does alcohol affect you? My NUT says that about 10 percent of patients become alcoholics after and I find this scary. What is your experience? Sent from my SM-G900W8 using the BariatricPal App

I am learning about macros and would also like to give myself every advantage possible for achieving my weightloss. I have been off and on with tracking my food in Fitness Pal but wonder if I would get more value out of upgrading to Premium account? Is there something better?

Thanks for the feedback! I'll stick to the percentages! I mean, I only aim to get close anyways not exact. I am not training for a fitness show [emoji23]

You look so fit and healthy. I have seen thin sunken faces and yes, it can be a part of the process or even the end result. A side affect of betterment on occasion. You are not in this group though. No way.

Looking great!!!

You look good girl!!! I am so happy that you are happy! And proud!!

Amazing!

I have never heard of an insurance company that does not require approval. Whom are you with?

Wow so many! I am May 30th. Looking forward to getting to know everyone! 37/F/220

May 30th. I have been waiting 15 months. Rny

Why do all the previous years have the months and 2017 has nothing?

May 30th here! 37/F/Canada

Hello all! My RNY is end of May. The 30th. So still a ways for me it seems. I am from Canada so the process seems slower. I was referred in March and have did all my appointments June to December. Now just a pre-op and then Surgery! I am trying to keep myself busy by getting some thing done so I can relax and focus on my recovery. I am hoping to be off work fro the month of June, however I am not sure yet.

I have been wondering about this too. I am a lower BMI and nervous that if I loose to much on Opti they will bypass less.

Amazing! You look so happy and youthful :-)

Yes I would. Had I known now how long the process would take and how affordable it can be done in Mexico I would have opted for it. Only 2 more months of wait to go but it's been a long 15 month wait for me

I have noticed the same and agree with all the points listed above. I also feel like it's a bit of optics. First all, most people look so unhappy in their before shots and are glowing in their after shots. Even some people's after shots who weigh more than people's before shots just look so happy and healthy:-). Secondly, I think for a good after shot you are putting on an outfit that makes you feel fabulous. You put it on and often pose your body in the most flattering way one knows how to capture the after. I also can not wait for my after shots!! :-)

This is so unfair! My gosh I am so angry for you right now. :-(

I am still a couple months out from Surgery. So every day that I am routing around in my closet trying to find something that fits, I dream about the future when I am pulling everything out and putting it in bags for donation. I imagine my closet to be empty! There is no point in having more than the bare minimum until the weight stops coming off. I would love to hear about how you manage your wardrobe and would love to see some pictures :-) Sent from my SM-G900W8 using the BariatricPal App

I have tried to look this up both through Google and this forum. What do I need to know about a king and tracking body measurements? I gather I will measure my bust, waist, hips, arms and calfs. Where on my thigh do I measure? Did I miss anything? Also, when people say I lost X amount of inches, is this from all the measurements added up? How do I know what I am aiming for? TIA :-)

I have my fitness pal and can not seem to locate where to put measurements? Is it possible you paid for an extended version of the app?

I never thought of neck!
