Cheyenne, thanks a lot. Today was a very rough emotional day. My husband is very supportive and he pretty much was trying to say the same thing but didn't quite come out the same way. Mostly because he doesn't completely understand how I feel since actually having surgery. But you're absolutely...

I am having serious issues with myself lately. I am feeling like I am failing myself and my surgery was pointless. I have not even lost 100lbs since surgery. Not even 100lbs total. My highest was 322 my current is 227, before surgery I was like 307. I just feel like a complete failure. I try to...

Anyone here in MD?? ... In need of finding local support .. :-/

Definitely measure in the beginning or atleast use smaller dishes and be very aware of how much you're eating while you're eating. Remember to take small bites, eat slow, and like others have said wait a few minutes in between bites. For me from early on post-op to now (14 months post op), the...

So I'm wondering if there are any post-op ladies out there who have or are TTC (trying to conceive)? One of my health issues that played into my having surgery to help with weight loss and controlling my diabetes, was also to help with my PCOS. My sugars have run normal since id say about 4...

I had my surgery a year ago on my 26th birthday. Was the best decision of my life. And I have taken this journey slow and steady! A plus about having the surgery at a younger age is your skin still has alot of elasticity and it makes it easier to continue toning your body and avoid loose skin. I...

Thanks everyone!! I really need to get back on here everyday for continued support from other wonderful people taking the same journey as I am!! You all gave me great advice and appreciate the compliments!! All things I've been needing to hear that I just dont hear from my home supporters--they...

I am 11 months post op and have seemed to hit a plateau where I am not gaining nor losing (not a bad thing) but i feel myself getting discouraged. My portion sizes still arnt what they were before surgery .. but I know Im eating more than I should. I have been working to continue to be more...

I had alot of issues with taking all my vitamins and supplements because i couldnt find any that met the requirements and i could tolerate the taste, etc. My mother in law who is 6yrs post op RNY, told me about the multivitamin she found that met the requirements from our surgeon (i had the same...

I have also found some good recipes on using spaghetti squash to make "noodles" for spaghetti dishes.

Donna, before I had surgery I had this problem. I was cutting calories and working my butt off (literally I might add), but the scale stopped moving at one point and I became VERY frustrated!! My surgical team told me not to sweat it. In fact to not obsess over the scale and only weigh in once a...

Are you taking your multivitamins and calcium supplements as well?? ... That can also cause hair loss according to my nutritionist. I know becuz I slacked off on taking mine and she knew right away when I made a comment about my hair "shedding" constantly.

I was just like you before surgery. I think it was more of excited nervousness. I wanted to get it done and over with! Felt like it took forever for the day to come .. and even longer after they had me prepped and signed the paperwork and waiting to go back. The only thing that scared me alittle...

Thanks Frank. I really appreciate the advice and support. I am definitely going to talk to the counselor at my surgeon's office. I think that you're right it may def help with some underlying issues I may be dealing with right now. I have not been logging what I eat but am going to start...

I had RNY and am 10 weeks post op and I have had PLENTY of "regurgitating" .. its typically from eating too fast, too much..or something with too much fat .. happens almost immediately after eating or during a meal..

So I am 10 weeks post op from gastric bypass. .. and while I would not regret having the surgery one bit...I am in a slump and getting really upset and depressed about it. I feel like I am eating too much ... not eating the right things ... not taking my vitamins like I'm suppose to be...

Dizzy Spells .. I am 10 weeks post op now and have been getting "dizzy" spells .. but its not a head-spinning type of feeling .. its more of that feeling when your sick and your head feels woozy. After some online research .. I cam up with a few things it could possibly be .. **Low Blood...
