9 months post op...



Recommended Posts

I'm nine months post op and had my visit with my surgeon today and he told me not to loose anymore weight!!! He said I have reached my weight loss goal and that I look amazing! I am soo happy! I went from a tight 18-20 down to a petite 4 !!! I top the scale during that time of the month when we all know I'm holding weight at 118.7 !!! I can't believe it... It seems unreal!!!

What is the best advice for someone who is still early stages post RNY?

The best advice I can think of would be to follow your surgeons rules ! Don't cheat, your only sabotaging your own happiness and goals. And most important, everyone looses differently so don't compare your weight loss with other people's, or how slow or fast others seem to be loosing compared to you, it's not a race it's a journey that's different for each person!

Did you have any plastic surgery? You don't look like you have any excess skin at all! You truly look amazing!! You are an inspiration!

@bubbles, if ur asking me... My stomach is almost completely flat with no extra skin, however before surgery it was not big considering... However, my upper arms and inner thighs have a small amount of excess skin that my surgeon and personal trainer both assure me within another year or so will be gone. I had big legs and upper arms in proportion to the rest of my body prior to surgery. But it really isn't that bad and no one notices it even when I point it out!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
