Motivation needed! I am almost one year post op (gastric bypass) and I have stalled. I have gotten sloppy with my eating habits and I'm looking for any advice or motivation you can offer. Looking for ideas for a meal plan to get back on track. Thanks y'all and I hope everyone is well!

Thank you Missy! I gained weight too during the Pandemic and started grabbing whatever to eat. This is very helpful! and Congratulations on losing 100 lbs!

Thank you for giving me your meal plan idea! I'm going to try this...it all sounds yummy and you have inspired me! Congratulations on your 97 lbs weight loss! Your menu will definitely get me back on the wagon. thanks again!

The weight loss has noticeably started to slow down in the past month. Anybody else going through this? How long do you continue to lose weight after RNY? Any insight or personal advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you catwoman7 for your reply! Congratulations to you on your weight loss, that's awesome! This is encouraging and and very helpful. I know now I definitely can keep going with the weight loss. Thanks again!

Experiencing my first stall. I know it's normal. Just curious if anybody has any tips or something they've tried to break the stall?

Thanks everybody for the advice! I'm gonna stay off the scale and change up my routine and foods. Hopefully that'll make a difference.

There's a Green Tea hair rinse you can make at home that I've read helps with the hair loss. I've started doing one a week. https://maneaddicts.com/3-tea-rinses-that-will-transform-your-hair/ Your pictures look great and I can't tell you've had hair loss but maybe this will help. Vitamins, Protein and Biotin !

I'm 6 weeks post op and have just started eating some soft meats. This is making me very sick and I've even experienced the dumping syndrome. Has anyone had this problem with meats? Any suggestions?

Hey October peeps. I am 7 days post op as of today. 11 lbs gone as of today. I stayed one night in the hospital. The staff was wonderful. I had the achy gas in my chest the first couple of days but after I started walking that went away. I am on the liquid diet now and will continue that another week. Can't wait til the pureed food stage. I haven't seen my scale budge in awhile and it is so nice to get on the scale now and see a difference. I am so excited about this new way of life It's tough, but the payoff is going to be amazing! Good vibes to everyone!

Good morning y’all ! In less than 2 hours I will be checking into the hospital for surgery. So nervous but so ready and excited. Prayers and good vibes are really appreciated today. Good luck to my surgery twins today. We’ve got this ! 💕🙏🌸

Testimonials welcome from anyone that has gone through the RNY surgery (with hypothyroidism).

That is wonderful and very encouraging! My thyroid has given me a challenge losing weight in the last few years and it’s encouraging to know you’ll still lose with the RNY. Thank you for sharing 😊. October 7th is my magic day.

You will do great! Good luck to you next week!

This was a great idea! Thank you for posting this. Just curious, anybody not doing the liquid diet before surgery, what kind of foods are you eating to prep for the surgery? Just wondering if it's better to go ahead and start incorporating the protein shakes, etc now. I'm 14 days from surgery, feeling excited and nervous.

21 days until surgery, October 7th, 2019 is the magic day for me! After a few rounds with insurance the approval finally came through. Nervous and excited. It's nice to be able to go through this with others on here.
