Just when I think I've hit the final plateau and my surgery is well and done it's thing- BAM! I lose 11lbs in as many days! Almost 12 months out, 101lbs. lost (since surgery, 136lbs total) so far. What a ride! 29lbs to my goal, already surpassed my dr.'s goal. Whee!

For those who had skin removal surgery
Suzi_the_Q posted a topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
So, I’ve lost 125lbs, and my body feels like I’ve got about 25-35 to go. I have a ton of loose skin which I plan to have removed. My question is: what was your starting weight and how much did your excess skin end up weighing? Just trying to figure out where I’m “really at.” (Sorry if bad format, on mobile.) -

Are you taking any medications that have weight gain as a possible side effect? I was stalling out a lot and for long periods like you then I discovered that one of my meds can cause weight gain. I'm off it now and within 2 days of quitting it I'd lost 3lbs. Something to look into.

That's absolutely devastating, I'm so sorry that's happened to you and your family.

Drinking
Suzi_the_Q replied to traceyingraphics@gmail.com's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, wait 30 minutes at least before drinking (but you can drink right up until you eat- according to my Dr.) Fluids expand the food in the stomach and make it uncomfortable and possibly stretch it. -
Fears of Depression deteriorating post operation

Just FYI, a lot of psych medications are available in liquid form too, which may help with absorption. I had to increase my psych med dosages by 25% since bypass (so far). -
Too old for plastics?
Suzi_the_Q replied to Chelsea198235's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
It's really not their decision or their body. Personally, I feel like if I don't get the skin removal etc. that I'll be perpetually wearing (or keeping around) the equivalent of my old, fat clothes like I'm just waiting for myself to fit into them again rather than throwing them out and committing to a more healthy lifestyle. I'll likely get my plastics around age 42. -
I finally figured out why my weight loss has slowed to a near halt- got a letter from my pharmacy that the manufacturer of my thyroid rx has issued a recall because the pills have less medicine in them than they ought to. Combine that with RNY malabsorption, and voila! I've got a follow up with my Dr. tomorrow.

Lying about not getting surgery is awful
Suzi_the_Q replied to GinormousReislin's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I've found when I've told ppl casually, I get instantly written off, like I don't have to work at it at all or watch what I eat, exercise etc. So, I'm pretty much going to keep it to myself. -
The problems resolved over time. I guess it was just my stomach healing still. (They did give me nausea meds though.)

Weirdest None-Scale-Victory - I'll go first

A lot more space between my tummy and the steering wheel, much roomier chairs. -
I made a request for an LGBTQIA Room in a "contact us" email. I suggest others do so as well.

It all sorted itself out. Guess it was just my body healing?
