So I'm coming up on 5 years since my gastric bypass operation. I weighed 384 lbs the day of my procedure, as of today I have now broke 170 lbs range that's with the excess skin still hanging on there lol which I assume is probably around another 10 to 12 pounds. Its has been a struggle but worthwhile I look at myself in the mirror and feel like just got out of a concentration camp... Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks so much to everyone so far for their support! I’m so glad I found this site with people who understand what I’m going through!

My dr put me on NO preppy diet...anyone else have this?

Hi Team! Well, I went for a ride to a pharmacy on a nice smooth road. Stayed in the car. Came back. 15 minutes each way. Needed a nap. I am sipping soup broth, protein water, water, ever 5 minutes while I am awake. Now, with all the July 4th food commercials, fast food delivery, fried chicken commercials, I HAVE NO CRAVINGS, very happy. I am thrilled that I work for a living! Day time TV is terrible. I can't yet concentrate on a book for a few minutes yet. I have a small puppy, so I have company every time I get up to move around. I will post later today, keep moving everybody!

That doesn't sound like it but I'm no doctor, continued complaining and testing are the only ways to confirm 😂

So I started this journey in November 2018 and finally received my surgery date on June 28 for September 19 I’m nervous and excited to start this new life journey.

I’m 3 weeks post op and haven’t lost anything this week and am so frustrated also...I am going to start measuring though that’s a great idea MrsGamgee! Hope this stall is super short lived...

6 months was on 5/1. Down 97lbs from 286 SW. 48 more to go. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using BariatricPal mobile app

You look AMAZING ! Your after picture made me smile because just the other day someone complimented my daughters big blue eyes and asked where she got them so which I replied UH ME!! I made some snarky comment mine being big too before I gained weight, So the difference in your big blue eyes made me smile, maybe mine will come back when my face thins too!

I was told i need to be smoke free for the rest of my life.
