That's a lot of different products

I think it's more about the texture and thickness of bread/flour that would not be advisable for early post op...

I hear you I'm going under the 28th I live alone..

I'm confused are you now 178 or 258?

Everyone is different

Sorry I felt the need to post my next milestone hitting 270lbs today & Monday I'll be two weeks away from surgery I like to share positive thoughts and messages to those who may be feeling discouraged!

Need a few stats.. Age..sex..starting weight..surgery.. Daily calories?

That's not so bad..small price to pay have you tried any creams to help with healing or cleaning up the scars once you are able?

I have noticed my butt is overall smaller & not as firm but I'm a male so it's okay and it's also early days for me anyway

Yeah the surgeon offered the sleeve but I stood firm on my choice and he didn't say NO.. they usually do work with you unless they are not confident on the bypass? My surgeon is one of the best in the country he even goes overseas to teach other surgeons

Not December but October 28 been waiting a year though.. Can't wait for RNY

Very informative but here In Australia we don't have so many options unless maybe I should try Costco? I'll be having my bypass 2 weeks Monday!

Many many reasons

That's okay I'm just trying to figure out for myself whether I'll be out of it for the day or just a few hours as id like to get walking sooner than later when I go in...

Seems like you're going well I'm curious did you wake up quickly after surgery or still drowsy from anaesthetic

Embrace your new skinny body of course it will be a shock to some ppl who are used to seeing you overweight... There's always compromise in life so you're healthy and skinny but you've lost some curves...

100lbs in 3 months? That's amazing...

You just had surgery I thought you'd be liquids only for the first few weeks.. Take it easy. Don't rush it.

Getting so excited just got 150lbs lost and coming into the final days to surgery 18 data to go cannot wait it's been a long road.. Hope everyone who has had surgery so far is going well. I'll be going into hospital 10/28 at 11am I think surgery will be after lunch sometime Getting excited maybe a little anxious but hopefully no complications from the RNY. 50lbs gone 80-90 to my end goal

That's pretty good effort thnx

Yeah I just decided one day no more bad foods.. Gave all the bad foods away.. Now everything in my house is high protein.low carbs. Healthy calories. Drink plenty of water everyday. Sleep 8 hours a day. I'm saving so much money on my food bills every week stocked up on 99c tuna cans! You can't eat junk if it's not there that's rule number 1. But yes you need some help to figure everything out before you do some damage..

Ask your surgeon/doctor mine has told me he prefers I get someone else to drive

I've been on my own preop diet no more than 1000 calories a day and losing very consistently unless I go too low so I try to keep between 800-1000 most days I assume after surgery the calorie intake will be much less due to new pouch and I guess the new "plumbing" changes the way your metabolism works I've done well So far 50lbs down IN 6 weeks I hope to continue losing steadily after surgery RNY!!
