    Was this a decent amount?

    40lbs a month is very good 👍 Keep your protein and water up.

    Is a protein shake a meal or snack?

    I use shake as a meal in itself best way to get your protein in but everyone is different...

    DOES POUCH SIZE MATTER?

    I'm not too worried I was just curious? I think he said main thing is easier recovery.. I'm not complaining I've only got max 80lbs to go
  7. Just had a final discussion with my surgeon. He tried his best to explain the way he does the bypass. He said the 120cm is the limb of the bypass & He does a small thin pouch vs a round one? He said the thinner one is safer and easier to heal because less distance for food to travel? Should be same volume as pouch just slimmer like a mini sleeve then of course the bypassing. Getting excited for the bypass I'm 55 lbs down but still plan on losing another 70-80 yet Thanks guys for all your kind words

    October Surgery Roll Call

    Well 12 days is 10/28 here in Aus. 10am admission. I assume surgery before lunch break so by like 1pm. He said he likes to do bypass first as they are more complex than sleeve

    UPDATE FROM MY SURGEON

    He said skinny but like half a sleeve size so very similar volume to the pouch just skinny the bypassing in an actual bypass is different to the bypassing of the DS

    UPDATE FROM MY SURGEON

    He said RNY bypass he was taught in Canada and he just does a skinny pouch rather than golf ball I don't understand the difference myself ?

    Help Avoid Night Time Eating

    Check your carbs intake... Carbs cause hungry
  21. Looking and feeling confident in myself finally.. Getting female attraction Buying nice clothes Not being judged in public
  22. Ooooh getting excited 14 days to go I felt the need to share with everyone. I'm seeing so many people doing so well post op making me feel good; a little anxious about possible complications.. but I feel confident and happy about my future
  23. Totally agree.. The first 50 have come off pretty easily Just by reducing calories and changing everything i eat I feel the next 85lbs will take more work than the first lot and that is why I've opted for the bypass to help me with long term maintenance 14 days to go
  24. Hope all is well just thought I'd make a new post and see if people would like to add some of their stats like at 3,6,9,12 months after having the full RNY BYPASS? I'm getting very close 17 days to go.. Just getting anxious and really hoping the BYPASS does everything I hope it should..... I hope I get the restriction of the pouch I hope my metabolism changes for the better I hope my weight loss continues and doesn't slow down anytime soon I hope I get off my meds for diabetes, hbp, cholesterol ASAP And I hope this tool will ensure my success and long term goals Its getting very real now ppls Mike
  25. Of course you dumped all that miralax lol
