I've found that taking fiber supplements or getting enough fiber throughout the day makes big difference. I'm pre-op but used to have the same problem; 3-4 BM's a day. Now I have 1 maybe 2 firms BM's a day. What have u don't to fix this or what does your Dr say?

Thanks Dove, One program is saying to do a 30 day pre-op liquid diet and the other one I've looked into is saying a 2 week high protein diet food diet. I would probably weigh 195 too after I do a 30 day liquid diet. How have you been doing since having the RNY? and were you diabetic?
I have so much access skin, from my weigh loss, which caused me to perspire more and the smell just festered under all the skin. It left me a little musky/musty in the under arm area which seeped onto my clothes. I started using clinical strength deodorant, powder between my thigh groin area, washed all my clothes after every wear instead of every 3 wears, or sent them to the cleaners. I don't have nor have I heard anyone mention my personal hygiene in a really long time. I hope this helps.
I had RNY at 195. I am now 126. It is a struggle to keep from regaining. With RNY your weight loss will stop when your body is ready to stop losing. You will not become too skinny. At 5'2 my BMI is about 23. Not skinny at all.

Well, I'm still undecided even after all this time b/c I have less than 100 lbs to lose. Maybe according to the BMI chart, but I only want to lose 65 lbs. Therefore, I'm leaning towards the sleeve.
I should have gone with RNY to start with. But anyway, If I had a 100 lbs to lose now, It would be a no brainer.
Good Morning All,
I too have fallen off the wagon. Day of Surgery (372) lowest (189). Now (217). 5 years out. I'm not as motivated or committed. Have gym membership but ride right by. I will have to buy a new wardrobe if this keeps up. I need to stop eating after 8pm and keep my intake around 1800 calories.
Too skinny?Hah!Maybe I should go for the RNY.I gotta get this band out and a revision.I was thinking sleeve but bypass is a consideration.
