Pics at 12 weeks

[Betti Boop 21]

You give me hope. I am at bmi 36 too and have 100 as my wish list loss. I know people who weigh more lose mire faster at least at first. So, I was thinking that my journey would be slower. But now, just maybe it will be similar to yours.

Thanks fir sharing. My surgery date is in a couple weeks.. 10/13 I hope

12 weeks?! Wow you look great! Continued success

[UrCaliGirl 28]

This surgery has been amazing for me... no complications (other than a little pneumonia just after surgery)... staying on track... exercising like the Energizer Bunny... feeling like a million bucks.

Here's a little photo evidence of why...

You look amazing???? I'm still having a problem choosing between bypass or the sleeve what made you choose bypass.

@@UrCaliGirl I chose bypass for a couple of reasons. I wanted the surgery with the most historical data and best success rates. i also had pretty severe reflux and my surgeon and I both felt that would be made worse by the sleeve.

I also knew I needed help with the carb and sugar issue.. I was a major carboholic and I wanted the threat of dumping to help me avoid them. It's working like a charm so far! I've had 2-3 dumping episodes with either high fat or too much bread, so it's easy to say no to them now.

Best wishes!

It's post like this that help me!! Tomorrow makes a week for me I'm having a hard time getting in the 60-80grams of Protein a day. I'm trying it is getting better day by day

[Ginger Snaps 1,323]

@jessica2014 Those first weeks are the toughest... hang in there! I wasn't able to get 60 grams the first couple of weeks and now at 5 months out, I'm supposed to get 80 grams and it's very hard! I'm just not that hungry and all I eat is Protein, so it's hard to fit in more. Just do the best you can and try to meet those goals and stay on plan and you'll be successful! You can do this!

My profile pic in the Robin costume is at about 4-1/2 months... hit goal at 5 months and 12 days!

@@jessica2014 I'm right there with you I'm 6days post surgery & I'm doing good to drink 20 grams of Protein but hey we will get there ... My doctor keeps telling me as long as my Fluid intake stay at least 40oz right now he knows I'm staying some what hydrated ... But the threat of being re admitted to the hospital is helping keep me motivated to try harder I will admit
