Hi Pal. Congradulations on you success! I had weight loss surgery to help me loose the weight. I would say yes to cutting back on the carbs if its a big part of your diet and see if you loose or not. Then go from there and try to find a good nutritional balance to keep you loosing. Good luck Hun!

17 months post RNY. Right now I get in around 800 - 1000 calories per day. I plan to try and increase my caloric intake to 1300 to try and stop loosing. Its so hard to get the right amount of food in when I stay so busy. I usually don't realize how little I've eaten until I go back to log my food for the day. Most days, I…

My surg. recommended that I blend up some of my favorite canned soups. I tried some new ones too. The split pea and ham was my favorite. I made some homemade chicken soup and blended it. That was the best. My family enjoyed it to.

I am 11 months post op. Right now, I am able to eat normally. I eat from a salad plate at home and order kids meals when go out. I stop eating at the first sign of being full. Still not drinking and eating at the same time. I have a cup or 2 of coffee or tea when I get up. Breakfast is usually greek yogurt or a protein…

What sad news. Only God knows.

COOKIES! Yep, I was a cookie monster. Don't eat them at all now.

There's some loose skin but it is not that bad. I can wear short sleeved tops and shorts and feel comfortable. My tummy's not too bad either. Spanx works very well. So, no plans for cosmetic surgery at the moment.

Welcome! The support here is awesome.

I started at 275 wearing 22s & 24s. My goal was to be a size 14 and weigh 165. I am 9 months post op and I am a size 8 and weigh 149. I have never been this size before, but, I like it. My goals have certainly changed. I am working to stay this size. There is still the daily goal of getting in my protein, water, and…

I ask for atom go box to come out with my food if I order an adult size enters. Most times I order from the children's menu. My surgeon 's office gave me a card to carry around that ask that I be permitted to eat from their children's menu. It works great. You are so right about the hatred. Lol

Hello. I would start with a consult with a bariatric surgeon. That way you will be better able to make well informed decision. I had RNY gastric bypass. There is nothing to be removed. I work everyday to get in enough protein and water. I take my vitamins every and I mean every day. Also learning Better eating habits and…

Chapstick, a book, and a my phone.

Around 6 months:sad:

In person, younger. Not sure about pictures.

You are getting closer lady. Congrats! I didn't have to go on a liquid diet prior to my surgery. I did use them post op. Orange was my favorite from Bariatric Advantage. I thought that I would like my usual favorites, chocolate or strawberry, but I didn't. Good luck!

I am very happy with my decision. It has not been an easy journey, but one well worth taking. It has improved my life in so many ways. I am so grateful for this second chance.

I take the BA multi- vitamins, liquid calcium & vit. D, chewable Biotin, B-12, and Papaya enzymes all from WalMart. I don't like the taste of any of it. All of it is so sweet. Kind of like those pez candies. It's all working for me though. My labs came back great. My regimen is working, so I just suck it up.

I am 8 months out. Started eating lettuce around 5 months out. It doesn't bother me any.

Wow! You are really of to a great start. I am so excited for you. I don't think that you will have to wait long. I received my approval within a week and had my surgery within the following 3 weeks.

I'm 7 months out RNY. I'v e lost about 111 pounds. My journey has been quite pleasant. Really glad that I made this choice for myself.

Motivation by Kelly Rowland is great for lifting weights and Ludacris's How low can u go on the elliptical. Gotta have it'
