Hi! I had RNY June 8th. I can't believe it's been almost 2 months. My surgery weight was 338 and I just hit 299 this Monday. Amazing feeling, I've been stuck in the 300s for the past 3-4 years. I still have such a long way to go, but I feel great. I haven't felt this good in years. I have so much more energy!

That is awesome! Good for you! I'm feeling good too! I'm at one month today and am down 39 lbs! I started (with rny) at 360. Ten years ago I had lapband and was almost to 450 lbs. loooong journey. But I feel better and more motivated than I have in my whole life! Isn't great?

Mandynette that's fabulous, good for you! Life is great, km so glad to hear how positive you are. Even only 2 months out and still a long way to go, I am so positive, I'm so happy. I'm finding I enjoy working out, I'm in better shape now than I've been my entire life. I've been heavy my whole life, my whole family is heavy. I never thought things could get so great.

Hi there! I find the forums here to be really great. I never had a band so my experience is a little different than yours. I have had great success with the sleeve and I am now about 10 months post op. Since you did the band, have you already been eating low carb for the last few years? That was the biggest adjustment for me...but I have found a lot of great low carb options that I like. I really like the Low Carbing with Friends group on Facebook. Good luck!
