Last week 307
This week (13 days post-op): 308
Been sticking to 700 - 800 calories a day, so I'm pretty sure I'm just weirdly stalling or my scale is crap. The thing is probably older than me.
My NSV is being able to walk faster than last week.
Thank you so much for your reply! I can only imagine how disappointing it must be to have only lost 17 pounds, but it must also be satisfying knowing that those pounds are gone for good!
I must admit that I will be glad to have the decision made and the surgery on the horizon! It still seems pretty far away.
Good luck with your RNY! I'm sure you will see major changes as time goes on!!
Being older myself, I completely understand your desire to lose as much weight as possible in as short a time as possible! I have bad knees which have qualified me for surgery with my insurance company, and was told by a surgeon that knee replacement would only be considered if I had a BMI lower than 30. That is a lot of weight to lose on my end, and while I hopefully won't need surgery for several years, I do want to have the option later on. Thanks for your input on the RNY! And congratulations on your amazing journey!!
Thanks for your kind response! I always thought that I would have the VSG, but since I have the choice, am looking closely at the RNY too. It is so inspiring hearing from you that you are happy with your VSG choice!
Thank you so much for your response! I completely understand what you mean about "medical team". I have really felt blessed with the support I have received so far from my visits to the nutritionist, physical therapist and behavior modification therapist .... and am really looking forward to meeting the team at UW! Congratulations on your success!
I knew early on I was doing the gastric bypass RNY, because the information I received said it is the gold standard and has had the best results for long-term weight loss. What nobody told me and no one said in the classes I took is how slow the weight loss would really be, I'm really disappointed about that I had surgery February 1st I've only lost 17 pounds after the surgery, if you need to lose over 200 pounds you don't have a choice you've got to do the RNY, I don't think you'd ever get that much off with the sleeve at this point I don't know how much I can even get off with the RNY. And also cured my acid reflux the surgery definitely cures that I've also been told it will cure diabetes and high blood pressure but I don't have those problems I'm not discouraged I will keep working at this but just wish I had gotten the big drop in the very beginning.

The last week has been a long one for me, my husband has been out of town and I've had th kiddos and the time change. Hopefully I will still have a loss.
How did everyone do? So far, what has been your favorite NSV? I would have to say shopping, even though it can be overwhelming to have so many options.
Thank you so much! I will definitely look into the Trendweight account. I am going to start weight myself in the mornings for sure.
