    More weight obsessed after weight loss

    Hi everyone. I had gastric bypass 2 years ago and have gone from 299lbs to 178lbs. I am able to see that I am smaller than before but I have become more and more obsessed with my weight and the fact that my BMI of 30 is still obese and can’t help to feel like I failed this surgery. Prior to my...

    A Little Advice

    Hello all, I introduced myself a few weeks ago, and now I am five days post op. My husband has been very supportive of my getting the surgery, staying at his job so I could be on his insurance, coming with me to appointments, even getting me a fancy blender. Since I've come home from the...

    Why am I gaining weight?!

    I am a month out of surgery. The first 2 weeks I dropped 21 pounds, then was at a stand still for a week and now I’ve gained 7 pounds back. What is going on?!

    How many of had the gastric bypass, I cant have a sleeve?

    I was all set for a sleeve and have to have a bypass instead and I am not sure I want to do that. Only choice I have due to stomach surgery for medical reasons years ago. I am really disappointed. I am 62 and just want to get something done.

    Smoking after surgery... Don't do it.

    I haven't really seen any questions about smoking during post op, so I gathered some information on the subject for those of you who had any questions. Simply for educational purposes. Just in case your surgeon didn't go into much detail and just told you to quit smoking with no reason why. The...

I've had to take some Vicodin for pain but overall the shakes that I've been sinking have been staying down. This journey started last June with me being rushed into this ER by my...
