I am thankful for my surgery, it has not always been easy over the past 5 months but, very worth it! Everyone use what you have learned to get you through the day. Take things you know you can eat, measure the amounts and enjoy the family and friends company! Be happy!

I was only in the hospital for a day. I'm 5 months out tomorrow. I'm down 69 pounds and I have followed the rules for the most part especially early on. I have had a few sips of wine for my anniversary last month. I have not had any bread or rolls! When you can exercise do what you can, I need to step it up. My husband got me a bike, I started slow about a mile and now I can go about 5 miles. He bought me QQ trainer that I can use this winter inside so that I don't get rusty. I'm hoping to start riding everyday and maybe it will Heep me lose more weight! Good luck to you guys! Follow your docs and nuts directions, they know what they are talking about!

I've been able to eat beef and broccoli, no rice. 3 oz worth of beef, a few pieces of broccoli. I haven't tried anything else though.

Try Pure Protein Revolution bars, to me they taste just like a snickers bar. 20 protein and only 3 sugars!

I'm on vacation with my husband, I have been biking, waking, swimming! I have also been eating a lot more than back home. I wonder if it's because of my increased activity? I have lost 65 pounds so far and had no cravings until we went away. I had a piece of pizza and a small amount of popcorn. I just hope that I don't get too used to eating more once I get back home to my ordinary level of activity!

That is exactly what I do, also, I have started using bariatric advantage capsule vitamins and I swallow them whole. Also, the calcium I get from GNC they have two flavored chewables from the be-Balanced brand, one is chocolate brownie and dulce de leche. The are awesome! They taste like desert!

My body is holding on to the weight in my stomach, so my thighs and face etc look thinner and fit into smaller clothing but my stomach makes it so I am stuck wearing a bigger size. I just hope the belly fat starts to go away more in proportion with the rest of my body soon! I am having the same problem too, I Surgery was on 6/12 and I have now lost 61.5 pounds. Now I wear makeup before I go out and make sure I look the best in what I have available in my closet. I think all the compliments at work etc help in making me what to care about what I look like, whereas before even when I tried to look good, no one would notice or say anything. I NEVER wore make-up before, now I also put it on even just to run out to the store where no one knows me. I keep getting compliments everyday and I guess that is motivating me! It sounds like we were twins! I know that the weight didn't go on overnight and that it will not come off overnight. I am off all my meds and I am not sleeping with my CPAP, although I am looking into getting an Auto PAP, starting to feel tired in the mornings again.

I feel like my desire is about the same as before surgery. My husband is constantly touching me, he is enjoying all the changes in my body so far! He keeps wanting me to wear reveling clothes, which I'm not totally comfortable with.

Does anyone know of a allergy medicine that is non extended release?

I have found some clothes on sale at Kohls and Coldwater Creek. I have to still get rid of all of my old stuff, I am pulling things out of my closet daily that are just too big! The fun part is seeing people that have not seen me in a while, they don't recognize me!

How long after the bypass before it came back?

I had am endometrial ablation in April and haven't had a period since. Yeah! However, my hormones are going crazy! For NO reason, I feel like crying or I feel angry. Doc said it's hormonal, I hope it passes soon!

I hope your right, I am walking more, getting more exercise and more protein and only losing a pound a week. I'm at 3 months post surgery.

I would love that!

I'm taking chewable calcium from GNC, they taste great! Swallow multivitamins from bariatric advantage, so not having issues. I am 3 months out.

I just came home from my hs reunion, it’s only been 3 months since surgery but, I felt amazing! I danced all night, not the least bit winded! My husband couldn't believe it was me! I have lost 55 pounds and had everyone wondering who I was! Too much fun! Also, picked some good food choices, didn't over eat and drank Water all night...it was an open bar! Not even tempted!

When I had my first red meat, I started to go more regular. I have had steak or a hamburger (no roll on small salad) at least once a week.

No, no taste! It can take a few days to work though.

Pizza! Irish toffee (homemade) and cake!

My husband LOVES to ride his mountain bike! All he has talked about is getting me back on a bike, well last Sunday I did ride for 2 miles. I would have done more but, my butt was killing me since it was his old bike, too tall for me, wrong seat etc. Now I am looking to buy a bike of my own again, sold mine 15 years ago! I'll have to let you know how it goes.

Try Clemmy's, the choc and vanilla is good! No sugar does have sugar alcohol's though! Harris Teeter and Safeway have it.

My Doc said no tortilla's for 6 months, I may try the tomato, that's sounds perfect!

It's too hot out for me to walk, I use my treadmill even though I hate it!

You'll be back on track in no time! I know you are not looking forward to the liquid diet but, that was when I lost the most weight! I hope you do too : )

I pray they figure it out and fix it soon! Feel better soon!
