I just started using myfitnesspal again after having RNY surgery on 12/27/17. I would welcome any friends who have also had weight loss surgery. My stats: HW 248, SW 213, CW 192 Before surgery I was on 4 meds for diabetes, 1 for high blood pressure, 1 for high cholesterol. Since surgery I am off all meds, only taking…

Requirement for WLS is BMI of 40 or BMI of 35 with co-morbids (diabetes, high blood pressure, etc)

bariatricpal.com has a good message board that would be less judgemental for your kind of question. I'm in the process of qualifying for rny early next year. Also, my local hospital has a bariatric support group that meets once a month and is free, you might try to see if there is one in your area.

Hi Mandy, I am just starting the 6 month diet that my insurance requires. I'm thinking March 2017 best case scenario. I meet all of the other requirements and I've been thinking about doing this for years. Now that I've made my decision, I'm really excited.

I am at the begging of my 6 month medically supervised diet that my insurance requires :( so I know it is going to be next year. I already meet all of the other insurance requirements. I know this is an older thread but I would welcome any new friends starting this journey.

I am just starting this journey. I have a doctor appointment on Aug 30. My insurance covers the surgery but I have to do a 6 month medically supervised diet first so I know I won't be having surgery any time soon. I know I meet the other requirements for the surgery and I've been thinking about it for several years. I…

I spent the morning on pinterest looking for low carb meals. I found several pretty easy recipes, I haven't tried them yet but I did make out my shopping list to try several.

You might need to talk to your doctor about adjusting your meds. I've had that happen before due to the medications that I was on, it's a scary feeling. Congratulations on doing such a good job with your diet.

Welcome back! I have used this site before with great results, I've been away for a while and just started back this week. I too eat when I'm bored and when I'm too stressed.

Thanks Phrick for these links.

Mine doesn't have a brand name on it. I got it for 14.99 at Kohl's last September. You don't really need to spend alot for one.

I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested!

sounds yummy

Awesome job, very inspiring.

you look great!

Great job!

I have never been in one of their stores, I didn't even know they had plus sizes. Congrats on the new job, in this job market they are hard to come by. This would make me more likely to go there.

I am interested. I downloaded the book on my kindle. I am an emotional eater and it always seems to derail my efforts to loose weight.

I always sneak stuff in my purse, mostly because I'm too cheap and the popcorn and soda is crazy expensive. Usually I have a bottle of water and a granola bar or small bag of something, True story, I was in a theater one afternoon and saw a lady pulled 2 Starbucks Frappe's out of her purse.

I try to keep my carbs between 50-80. Most days are veggies and turkey or chicken. I am doing it to get my blood sugar in control, but I have been losing at a pretty steady pace. To be honest I have had a few days where It was hard to get my calories up to 1200 so I added some cheese, nuts and cook with olive oil. You can…

Me too. In Cincinnati, Warrant opened.

Great job, you look fantastic!

1. Shop in the regular sizes, not plus 2. Hike part of the Apalachian trail

Hello, Neighbor! Small World.

Central Florida here. You can add me if you want and anyone else. Eating low carb and it seems to be working.

Looking forward to trying!

I'm going to try this one! Sounds yummy.
