Trying to hide the hanging skin from my "Chicken Wing:" I have to remind myself that i am in the gym donig something about all the excess weight and everyone else is there to work on themselves too, they don't care what i look…

I would like to mentor a few people how have recently or are considering going the weight loss surgery route. I am 35 and in May of this year I had the RNY. Prior to making the weight loss surgery decision, I had been on just about every diet imaginable and finally decided the surgery route was the best one for me to help…

This...all of this! I had a RNY in May and have had no complications but I still have to put in the work. I weighed 557 pounds when I started the WLS journey; I was in danger of a heart attack getting out of bed in the morning. Now, 10 months into this journey, I am off my blood pressure meds, no longer need a C-Pap to…

This is not a decision anyone can make for you. I had RNY this year and anyone who tells you wyour are taking the asy way out has no idea what they are talking about. You have to be willing to completely change the way you eat and the way you look at food. That said, personally, i would do it again in a heartbeat. For me…

I completed a 5K in under an hour and still went to my Kickboxing class that night! And the dress i am wearing today didn't fit at all 9 months ago and 2 months ago I could only wear it if I had Spanx on...and today it is starting to get big!

Welcome! I am just under 4 months post op. I had to lose almost 60 lbs before I could have my surgery, I did it in just under 3 months by putting myself on a pretty strict diet that is not the norm for post op diets. I have learned A LOT in the 4 months since my surgery and would be happy to help anyway i can. Todfay I…

I am 3 months post op and have been taking a chewable probiotic as a part of my daily vitamin routine and have been regular since a week after surgery. I use the Bariatric Advantage brand that i order with all the rest of my vitamins.

I like them Mashed with a little sea-salt..they are too sweet to add more sugar! I also love them cut into fries and baked with a little sea-salt and cracked black pepper, they make their own crispy outside you don't even have to coat them!

Alright, I'll bite!

Crab Salad Grey Poupon - Mustard - Country Dijon, 1 tsp Smart Balance - Light Mayonnaise Dressing, 2 TBS (15g) Diced White Crab meat - 1 can Salt and pepper (or garlic powder) to taste I dump this all in my Magic Bullet and blend it up...2 tbls is 49 calories and 5 grams of protien! This and hummus are saving my life…

I have been trying for months to get below the 20 minute mile mark on my daily walks...I did the other day and walked an 18 minute mile!

I AM OFFICALLY AT MY LOWEST WEIGHT IN 5 YEARS!!! Yesterday I broke through the 20 minute mile barrier on my walk, which I have been shooting for for month...and I didn't just break through...I blasted through and walked an 18 miunte mile! I am feeling great and am even more convinced that the decision to have the gastric…

I agree with the Center for Bariatic Excellence! My hospital is one and the nurses on the floor and in the recovery room are all so well practiced in dealing with Bariatric patients that the hospital stay was very beneficial to me. They have a nutrition counselor and bariatric support staff to answer any of your questions…

I am not sure what everyone uses for protien supplements but I have found a brand of protien powder that I absolutely love. It is called Unjury and you can only get it online, either at www.unjury.com or on amazon. The flavor variety is great and they are pretty cost effective compared to some at only about $1.00 a…

I had gastric by-pass surgery on May 28. Yes it was a hard decision but it was the best one for me. i have only had one negative experince on MFP from someone who tried to talk me out of my surgery days before and unfriended me after I decided to go through with it. For the most part people have been super suportive and I…

I just had my RNY on 5/28/14 and I am defiently looking for friends who have been through it both recently and veterans! I lost 69 pounds pre-op and now 21 since the surgery. I would love any help and support I can find, and to be part of your support system.

Good morning everyone! I came through the surgery with flying colors! I lost 19.6 pounds in the first 10 days. Counting the 5 i lost before I joined MFP I have lost 90.6 lbs since January 27th (my high point in my doctor's records was 557 recorded that day). I am still in the pureed food diet for the next 6 weeks or so. So…

Oh And thank you for your encouraging words too! I really appreciate them!

I will answer all of this at once. :laugh: I have been on more diets than I can count and I am great to 75-100 lbs, then my body adjusts to the way I am eating and I start to level off and get discouraged and ultimately it goes back on plus some. The by-pass is a more permanent solution. In addtion, I am very aware that…

Thank you everyone! I will defenitely keep everyone posted. It has been a long road getting here and a lot went into the decision to go this route. I can;t wait to see the results and share them with my MFP Friends!

Thank you! And congrats on being over halfway to your goal!

Thank you so much! Tomorrow is the big day so I probably won't be doing much more than logging my food for the next few days but I will definetly keep you posted! Congrats on your success too! I am rooting for you!

My surgery is in 6 days! i had to lose 52 pounds just to be approved and I have lost 64 in 100 days! I am always looking for support on MFP and would love to add some friends who have gone through the surgery journey. Any tips anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated! Oh and feel free to add me too!

Feel free to add me too! I started with 352 lbs to lose...I started on MFP because I neede to lose 52 lounds to be ble to get gastric by-pass surgery. I was very strict and lost 64 lbs in 100 days! I am having my surgery next week and still have 288 pounds to go! i am always looking for supportive people to keep me moving…

Good morning all, When I started my weight loss journey I weighed 559 pounds. I am on track to have bariatric surgery and have to get to 500 pounds before I can have it done. I am in a situation where I am doing well now losing the weight to get to my 500 pound goal but I know from my history, losing 350 pounds on without…
