Before and after picture 13 months RNY

Amazing!!! You're inspiring! I'm just over 3 weeks out and already stalling. Not too worried- I'm walking 4-5 miles a day, started with a personal trainer and have a great support system ( btw I had bypass). Just kind of frustrating. Good news is my BMI has already dropped over 5 points. That's an accomplishment! But I did think the scale would move faster. I'm at the point where I have decided to only get on it weekly.

Thank you! Is been a roller coaster. My head is not connected with my body. I feel still obese. I'm working on it.

Funny thing for me- I've only seen myself as obese when I see a picture of myself. Day to day my mind still thought of itself as thin. Darn mirrors and pictures always reminded me though!!!

Lisa I totally agree with you! I don't see myself being THAT big until I see a picture or catch a glimpse at a full length mirror. Then I feel so self conscious after that for a while. I have even second-guessed my decision for WLS several times until I see pictures!

I feel a slow but steady loss is the best way physically and mentally. You are taking all the right steps, just follow your doctor instruction and it's great you are exercising! I had to stop In December because my low calories intake, but I'm getting stronger so I'll start again on Monday. ????

      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.
