  • It's never too late to get back to basics and re-take control of the castle! Never give up. Never abandon your post. We all have to be extra vigilant for the rest of our lives. I would go back to the doc and talk revision with him. Maybe part of the issue is that panniculectomy ONLY deals with the removal of overlapping…

  • Another newbie here as well! I'm trying to get my fit freak on. LOL. I've lost 111lbs in the last 13 months (44 of them since RNY surgery in February) and am trying to work on building core and strength/endurance! Then, onto lifting heavy! I'm 55, female, a card-carrying member of the nerd herd, have an enduring SO (Mr.…

  • Bottom line for my body (we're all different): If I have too many carbs, I simply can NOT stop eating! I will eat every 30 min-1 hour if I had my evil way. So I keep my carbs low and coming mostly from veggies, fruit, and VERY limited dairy and eat only protein adequate (ave about 70g of protein daily) and eat low fat. And…

  • You got this. The first 4 days are brutal--then it does (often) get better. Hang in there, it's so worth it!

  • I was pretty shocked at my ability to adhere to my plan. I think it's partly the new-hasn't-worn-off thing. So I'm still in "diligent mode" and I know my honeymoon period is winding down. So I came back the same weight I went up. So the holidays don't bother me. But, last night we went to the ballpark to watch our minor…

  • I'm so sorry for your troubles with the clot!!! (hugs) Hang in there! I am post meno, on a total hormone blocker for anti-cancer therapy, am hypo and have pcos. I'm 55. And my TDEE is only 1400cals. For me to personally lose, I have to follow my surgeon's and RD's plan to a T and stay at or under 850 cals per day.…

  • Thanks Steven! Wish there was a way for MFP to know that bariatric peeps are quite diff in the early months post surgery. Of course you know this--am preachin' to the choir. LOL. Many only eat 1000cals after 9-12months post op! :neutral: (For me, I'm able to get my 74g P; 40g C; approx 30g fat give or take into 750 cals.…

  • My total all-time high was 325, but I maintained the loss down to 287lbs for about 17 years. Then started preparing for RNY and was able to work my booty off to lose down to 222.4 on surgery day. So overall, I've lost 141.8lbs. :smile: (Sorry, I did the math wrong above. It should be 141lbs rather than the 134lbs. In the…
