AW: Update - Gastric Bypass

MamatoJacksonMamatoJackson
in Stay at Home Moms

I appreciate everyone chiming in on my decision whether to get the operation or not.  I decided not to.  I have a long ways to go but at the end of my pregnancy with Olivia, I needed to lose a total of 160 pounds.  And as of today, I have 99 to go.  Not bad for 3 1/2 months!  

It's a day-by-day battle and always will be but things are looking up!

    I'm am glad you made the decision to do it on your own. I had the RNY in 2008. Although I am happy with the weight loss I am having some health problems now relating to vitamin deficiencies. Not go when you run after a 14 month old and someone else's 8 month old. My husband considered the lapband but after being turned down intially because was just shy of 40 bmi he decided to let me put him on a diet and exercise regime. He lost 40 lbs in 2 months. I know form experience how hard it is and keep up the good work!

    Oh, sorry I don't post here very much. I'm Tammy. Hi, nice to meet everyone.Smile

    It sounds like you've done great!!

    I have quite a bit of weight to lose off my prepreg weight as well (at least 70lbs, maybe closer to 80...who knows what it will be after the baby is born).

    If you're interested, after I'm cleared to exercise (which will be around mid-october), then maybe we can try to help each other out :)

    I know that's forever from now, but I'm serious about getting down to a healthy weight after this baby is born. From what I've heard about boys, I'm going to have to just to keep up with him!

    Absolutely!  I did the same thing - Was on a diet three days post-partum, though I told myself I'd let myself have a few weeks of recovery before starting the diet, I was so tired of being so fat, I started right away.  I've had some lulls but back on and going pretty strong the past few weeks.  Let me know when you're ready - I'll still be 'on my journey' at that point!

    I think your doing great. I needed to lose 60 pounds, I went on Weight watchers and lost 35 pounds and then started getting really down because my DH would make little comments about how I was buying different snacks for the family and they didn't have all their chips and cookies and beer and would tell me that I was the one on a diet not them and I didn't ignore his comments and I let it get the best of me. I ended up gaining the 30 pounds back that I lost and I'm back to needing to lose 60 pounds. I am horrified by the way I look and how I allowed myself to get like this. What are you doing to help lose the weight? I can't afford the monthly fee anymore of WW but I have all the info and thought I could do it still at home but I just have not buckled down enough to do it.

    I know what you mean - It's SO hard to keep on top of it.  It really is a daily struggle for me.  

    I keep it simple and just count calories.  You tend to eat very healthy this way because if you want to make your calories stretch, you have to!  I give myself around 1700 per day.  If I find myself very hungry, I have a cup of black coffee which helps to curb my appetite - The caffeine boost is nice, too!

    I will email you tonight with more tips and things I eat, etc!
