Very excited today! I finally hit onederland. It felt like it would never happen! Also just over 50lbs lost and my goal is 50lbs away. Tomorrow I'll be exactly 3 months out. I've been a bit frustrated the past couple of weeks with the slower loss and g

Hello Everyone,

I'm 11 weeks post revision from lap band to RNY today, weighing in at 205, 5'3. I've lost about 37 lbs since surgery. I have had weeks of stalls, but this week, over the past couple of days I've actually gained weight. (about 1l

Ten years ago I had lap band surgery. Shortly after I developed Rosacea. I kept the band in for 10+ years and finally revised to RNY at the end of September. Within a week the Rosacea cleared! See pics below. Has anyone else had this happen?

Does anyone have a creative way to measure your protein in a restaurant? I know many people get to a point of eyeballing it but this early out I'm certain I won't be able to. I have to travel this weekend and at least one meal a day will be in a restau

I've always waited to drink after eating for 30 minutes. Now that I'm eating tuna and ground meats etc. I can't drink for sometimes over an hour or so. Otherwise I get reflux or feel over full. Is that normal? Am I eating too much at the meal? It's usu

Sorry for the long story and TMI but I'm hoping I can get some answers.

I'm 3 weeks post op. When I was in the hospital the incision that my lap band port came out of was bleeding and the steri strip came off. They covered it with a bandage and

Today makes exactly two weeks from my surgery. This morning I went for my usual walk which accidentally went a little longer than I expected. I've been doing 1 mile but this turned into two. When I got home I was tired but not too bad. Last week I star

Hi everyone,

Just had surgery on Friday and I'm wondering why I always have a head ache when getting up after a nap or sleep. Once I get up and start walking it goes away. Thoughts?

Tomorrow I will be finally getting my lap band of 10 years out and revising to RNY. I'm very scared. Worried that I'll have tons of complications and be the one person that doesn't lose weight. I'm very excited that I'm finally going to be able to get

Hello,

I will be having a revision surgery on 9/23 to remove my band that I've had since 2006 and revise to RNY. For those of you that have been through this, what differences have you noticed? I'm curious about the differences or similarities

I'm very excited today! It has been a long road to this point but I finally have approval to have my band removed and to revise to RNY! I honestly thought it would never come. Now I'm trying to work on head hunger and cravings until my surgery. I don't
