Looking for an accountability partner who I can be Facebook/texting friendly with! I had gastric bypass in March of 2015, and initially got to my lowest weight of 179. However, my current weight is 205. My husband and I have finally reached a point where we want to have a baby but I also don't want to start out at the weight I currently am. I've fell of the weight loss motivation wagon and need someone to help me get back to where I want to be. It's definitely taking a hit and I've been more depressed than I've been since my surgery. I'd like to lose 50 lbs at least! Please let there be a friend out there!

I had gastric bypass 6/8/15. My SW was 248, LW 175 (for a hot minute) now I'm up to 201. I was 185 in May when we had to put my beloved rescue dog to sleep. It was the most traumatic thing I've ever been through. I still have my emotional/boredom/anxiety/pain eating issues and need to work on those in therapy, but here I need to get back on track with my eating, and following the rules, like no drinking half an hour before, after and during meals, and not eating until I'm past full. Plus I need to plan and make better food choices. I'm working with a new nutritionist, have a therapist and workout at a great gym, but I need daily support and accountability if I'm going to lose these last 20 pounds. It looks like I found a good group!

Hi, I had RNY 12/26/16. I'm only down 20 pounds! Need help!!

I started to say I lost weight slowly too and you're right on track but I did the math and realized I lost 40lbs within the first two months, so I'm wondering if you should check with your surgeon. I have a couple questions.

How much weight do you have to lose? What's your start weight and goal weight?

What's your age? I just turned 50 and was going through menopause. I had a partial hysterectomy five months after surgery and now am on HRT.

Are you hitting ur Protein and Fluid goals?

      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.
