Due to several serious medical issues, my surgeon and I have agreed that a complete reversal of the RNY and putting everything back like originally designed is my only and best option. In one way I am glad to get it done to help with the pain and inability to eat. But on the other hand I'm petrified because I don't know how I will be able to control my weight.

 

I need help what do I do, I don't want to gain weight uncontrollable but I haven't a clue of what I should do or what to expect or how to prepare. 

 

Help me please!!!!!

Well I have been maintaining at 177 pounds now for about 3 months. Everyone tells me I look much smaller than that. But, unless my scales are lieing that is what I weigh.
Now the Dr. wants me to lose another 25 - 30 lbs, because due to my height the BMI chart still shows me being obese.
Anyway, we shall see - I am quite content with my current size. Just gotta keep from gaining, so yes I weigh every other day.

Any suggestions for kick starting the weight loss??

Also, I have become a number at my Dr. office, I can't seem to get a clear response on my labs, so I am not certain my vitamin supplements are enough.

I seemed to have developed Hypoglycemia, and feel light headed most days....anyone else experienced this.

Tell me what vitamins you are taking and how much?  I feel like I am missing something. I can also see my hair thinning. This too must stop.  HELP!

I wrote a poem today for the first time in over 20 years.....What do you think?

Waiting for the grown and real man to arrive and standup.

He lost her
He throw her away, like day old bread
His jealousy forced him to lose it all
Beautiful wife, nice home, cars
Everything a real man would want
He couldn't handle being in a position of a real man
Still stuck in his boyish ways of thinking
So he dealt with the pressures of manhood
By tossing her to the side
Leaving her alone and broken and confused
But she being the strong black woman that she is
She will persevere
She will continue to move forward
And progress.

She is an independent sister by circumstance
She did everything right by the worlds standards
Finished school, obtained degrees, and certifications
Now she mentors others, teaching them all that she knows
She has much love to share
But why is this not enough for you
You say you want a sister that has her own,
Brings something to the table
Isn't a gold digger or high maintenance
Doesn't ask you for money or help to pay a bill
But when we fall in love with you
You can't handle us.
You run like the wind
you say, you know you would want for nothing.

Sister can cook, keep a clean house, disease free, faithful & trustworthy
yet, you cannot handle her

 WHY?
You run to the chicken head down the street that has a million children and nothing to offer, instead of being stress free with her
she accepts you for who you are, why can't you do the same for her?
Powerful, intelligent, independent, beautiful and sexy sister that she is and will remain
Waiting for the grown and real man to arrive and standup

I have finally gotten below 200 lbs. I am excited to say the least.

Still have some work to do, my BMI is still showing I am obese, even after losing 100 lbs. Wow! is this thing for real.

I have about 25 lbs to go to reach my goal. I can do this.

I am trying to increase my exercise and ensure I eat right. I am having some issues with Protein....these protein supplements are nasty to me...Yuk!!!  Any recommendations.

On the other hand, bad news!  My spouse couldn't handle my new size and the attention I was getting from the opposite sex, so he departed in July. I will hold my head up high and keep moving forward. I never cheated or anything of that nature, I loved my hubby that is why I married him. You would think he would have been excited to have a wife that everyone was peaking at.....guess not.

Oh well!  Next...dusting myself off and moving on!!!

G

I have lost a total of 100 pounds. I never thought I would see this day.
As soon as I can I will be post my most up-to-date photos.
I am so excited, I can see my toes, and touch them.
Oh Oh! I can not sit for longs periods of time anymore...because I lost my cushion, tail bone, yes I actually have one, will start to ache now.  Even though it is painful...I am excited!!!

For the longest time, I have been reading posts of pretty much everyone on this site. See all the people announcing their good news, major weight loss, etc. I could never seem to think of anything to write about. But, finally here I am typing away.
I had the RNY surgery on 26 May 2009, and I finally got enough nerve to get on the scales to see how much weight I had lost. I knew I dropped some pounds because my clothes are literally falling off. I have lost 30 lbs in 6 weeks. Oh cool is that. I just got promoted to solid foods and can do all exercises. I am excited to be able to move around more with 30 lbs gone. I have a whole new appreciation for exercise and food. I do not look at food the way I used to, it is really amazing, I am truly eating to live and not living to eat. I have so much more time now that I am not always thinking of my next meal.

I finally found Protein supplements that I can handle, wow some of them are just horrible. So I have that down pat....now to eat more protein, easier said than done. I am so sick of eggs now, I can stand to look at them. I found some high fiber, high protein cereal, and wow skim milk has about 6 grams of protein. Yes, you all I am counting everything and reading every label...it is actually fun.

More to come!!! I am so excited...
