Hi everyone! I'm Carrie, married mother of 2. I started taking my weight loss seriously in May 2017. I have lost 120lbs so far. I would like to lose about 25 more. The weight loss has really slowed down and I know it's because I'm just not keeping myself accountable. It is time to get my head back in the game and my weight…

Your body is healing you may need to go back and forth between phases a few times, I did. Even at 4-5 months I would have a day here and there that my pouch just needed a break so I went back to soft foods for a day.

I went to a concert last night and my @$$ fit in the seat! Can I get a fist bump??

A pillow to hold against you on the ride home can be a game changer, good luck!

I have a very active 12 yr old son. He plays hockey, football, and soccer. I am not friends with the other Football or Hockey parents, they can be a very judgmental group. I had my surgery at the end of soccer season and I haven't really seen the football or Hockey parents since. Today was my son's first football game of…

Sorry to hear your feeling so stressed. *high five* for seeing the unhealthy coping and replacing it with a healthier choice!

Every program has a different time line. You should ask at your next appointment. The liquid diet isn't fun but it is necessary, it helps shrink your liver which makes the surgery safer. Whenever I felt like cheating I thought about that. Good luck with your approval!

Found this online "About 1 in 7 people with gallstones willdevelop stones in the common bile duct. This is the small tube that carries bile from the gallbladder to the intestine. Risk factors include a history of gallstones. However, choledocholithiasis can occur in people who have had their gallbladder removed." I had…

You're doing great! I hope you are feeling well too. Welcome to the group! I had RNY a few days after you on May 23.

I have a husband and 2 kids that enjoy their junk food. I don't deny them but it's limited. I don't keep things in the house that are triggers for me. I meal plan, so if I were to plan a dinner of sandwiches and chips I would buy them each an individual bag so there won't be any left overs for later snacking. I also…

I had a huge non-scale victory this week. More than just one, it was a whole day! My husband's boss invited all the employees and their families out to the lake. Normally I would find a million reasons not to go but I didn't. I put on my new swimsuit which I do not feel like an Umpa Lumpa in for the first time in 11 yrs.…

I was nervous too because I do have anxiety and it can get very bad. I was honest with her although I thought it would delay my surgery. I figured I didnt want to have the surgery and sabotage it myself by not telling the truth. I'm glad I did because she was amazing and helped me so much. My surgery was never delayed and…

I was told in my program that with surgery the average person loses 30% of their highest weight which would put me at 210lbs. My surgeon said for my size I would likely lose 100lbs from my surgery weight which would be 172lbs goal. My personal goal is 160lbs.

8 weeks post op, feeling great! Down 32lbs since surgery. I am active on here and will continue to be because there is a lot of good information here. It's a great place for support. I haven't struggled until yesterday and today. My birthday and my daughter's birthday are back to back. That's two days of "celebrating".…

Gastric Bypass/ VSG/ Lap band is a group on here. Lots of great people with excellent advice. You can add me if you like I had RNY gastric bypass on May 23.

I'm the opposite. I used to always be warm or hot, even in winter. Every since my surgery day I am cold. The first two weeks I couldn't get warm. Now I'm like a cat, any patch of sunlight and I'm in it haha. I'm not looking forward to winter this year.

Hi Sandy, congrats on your success! Great job maintaining.
-
Good luck with your surgery and your new journey, this week will fly by!

I get it. All of it. I will give you the same advice I had. Do the program, get the information, learn everything you can and then decide. You don't have to have the surgery. The surgery is far from a copout. It is a lot of work and an entirely different lifestyle. It is not for everyone. I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and there…
