Topic: Before and six months post-op pics
Hey everyone! I haven't posted on here in ages, but I have my RNY on 7/1/2009, so technically I "belong" here. I hope everyone is doing just great. As of today, I've lost 110 pounds since my pre-op high. I am so thankful for the progress. I'm less than 16 pounds away from onederland, which is my next goal.
I posted some before and six month post-op pics in my profile is anyone is interested.
I'll try to come over here more often. I'm sure that we are all dealing with a lof of the same things and can learn from one another.

Topic: RE: Meat is no longer my friend
I have the exact same issue. Steak, roasted turkey, chicken, pork roast -- it all makes me very sick. I say that I'm the "unintentional vegetarian" because I never meant to give up meat, but I almost have. Like you, I do okay with hamburger in chili.
I eat a lot of Greek yogurt and protein bars.

Topic: RE: skin pains
I have this too. My doctor said it is normal for this to happen. It is like Pooh says scar tissue. She told me that it will go away. Mine is the one nearest to my naval that always "twinges". Sometimes I feel like it is "moving" .. sounds weird but I can feel it tighten around my incision.
I also get an occasional pain in my side which I think is brought on by my exercise. Working muscles that my body forgot it had. I think it's weird to put my hands on my hips and actually feel bones in there. I used to have so much padding that I forgot there was bones under all that! LOL

Topic: RE: AVATAR CHANGE ...help!!
Go to "My Oh" Under your pic it says "Change Avatar", Choose File (select your photo you want to use" then upload. Sometimes you have to clear your cache to see the new pic because your browser saves the information. Try clearing your cache out and see if it appears. The one I see of you looks great! You are wearing a black shirt and look so pretty!
Topic: RE: OMG OMG OMG!!!!!
I started at 242 lbs and am weighing 172 lbs at 6 months out. I have lost 70 lbs total (a bit slower than the rest of you). I had a month long plateau in December but have resumed losing weight again. I am slower at losing the weight but I see my goal in sight. I want to weigh 135 lbs and have 37 lbs to reach my goal weight!!! I am wearing a size 11/12 I guess since my size 13/14's are now too loose! I can wear a size medium in some tops. But most are size large to fit my boobs. LOL
WOOT! I LOVE MY RNY TOO!!!

Topic: Happy 6 Mo Post Op Girls!!!!
I am down 70 lbs and am weighing in at 172 lbs!!! I posted my 6 mo photos on my oh profile page. I can't believe it's been six months. And I can't believe I am wearing regular sizes and that my black boots zip up over my calves. I can't believe that I am not embarrassed to have a photo taken. And I can't believe that in 6 months I have transformed this much!!!! I can't wait to reach my ultimate goal weight. It is in sight! Just 40 lbs to go!
My wow moment, when I pulled up my size 13 jeans today and they were LOOSE.

Topic: RE: skin pains
I have the same thing occasionally while driving. I think it's nerve pain from the scar tissue. It doesn't last long for me. Just a slight burning, itching kind of feeling. It should go away over time.
Topic: RE: OMG OMG OMG!!!!!

Topic: RE: The Lady at Macy's Noticed my Weightloss
LOL! I went to Dunkin Donuts today to buy myself some iced coffee. Wasn't even tempted to buy something to eat. But, donuts are really not my thing, either. Still, I count these little positive choices to keep my momentum going.
