It has been a long time since I posted. It's been 14 months since my gastric bypass. I reached my goal weight in 13 months from surgery date. I did very very well with it and am pleased with my results. I have to say the mental part of the surgery was the hardest for me. Along withy new...

You know youve lost alot of weight when your 3 year old grandaughter walks in the room while I'm dressing and says "Nanna what the hell did you do to your skin". I nearly fell down. I couldn't believe she said that. LOL I told her my skin was just old.

I have eaten lettuce and salads since I started on solid foods. Doesn't bother me in the least. I love my salads, but have to protein it up with bacon bits, cheese, chicken, or something. I know alot of peopel that can't tolerate lettuce for a very long time, I havn't had an issue at all, or...

Even though I have done very well with my weight Loss, I am stuck, stuck, stuck. I have followed every rule, (except excercising everyday, 3 times a week usually), and watch my diet very closely. I gained 3 lbs about 2 weeks ago, and it will not come off. I still have 23 lbs to reach my goal...

I have been at a plataeu as well. I havn't lost anything in about a month. I however have lost 72.5 pounds all together since August 30. I have done extrememly well, but found myself snacking some and I think that has slowed me down. I have had trouble with my protein intake as well. I...

Tomorrow marks the Anniversary of my bypass and havnt been on much lately. I currently have lost 72 pounds, and needed to update my profile. The past few weeks have been hared because I have not lost a pound, put a couple on , lost that, now I'm dealing with wanting things that arnt...

Its been awhile since I posted. It will be 3 months on the 30th since I had my Gastric Bypass. I truly have not had any issues, other than a few tears at first. I'm much better emotionally now, and have lost 57 lbs. I feel so different when I fold my arms, or cross my legs. I am feeling...

I have been where you are! For me, that has been the only that I had trouble with. I cried alot the first 3-4 weeks post-op. Again, its the disconnnect with food, its the extreme weight loss, and also the loss of your best friend that got us where we are in the first place, FOOD. From the...

Mine did that about two weeks after surgery. I went in and it was an inside stitch that tries to work its way out. They lanced mine and took the stitch out and stitch the outside back up. It healed up right away. Probably nothing to worry about.

I use Loseit!. (spelled just like that) I have an iphone and I like it better than my fitness pal. You can do everything and anything with it. Luv It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to put this out there. Does anyone else have this issue? As I am adding more foods to my diet, I am scared of eating. I can tolerate alot of foods now, including chicken, and I'm so afraid of eating too much or that I could break into my old habits again. I'm 9 weeks out and just...

You can do this. I promise you, it will get better and you will be amazed how quick you feel better, look better, and will happier than you can imagine I'm sorry things are so rough for you. Did you have complications? I was home quickly but dealt only with the emotional part of not having...

It was very soon after my gastric bypass. As soon as I felt like it my surgeon said. Have Fun!

Barbara, I went through some of the same negativity prior to my surgery on August 30th. I have found some people are somewhat prejudice of Weight Loss Surgery. Even in the hospital I experienced some negativity, and some, "dont they tell you these things before you have a surgery like this"...

I am 5 weeks post-op. I had RNY and I was at 223 starating out and Ive lost 34 pounds since I began the liquid phase 10 days before surgery, so I'm counting that as well. That would make it about 7 weeks from Aug. 19 to now. 34 lbs.
