Good luck to you. I have changed my entire lifestyle now i'm down 44 lbs . It's a lifestyle change no matter which way you do it. They are both tough one isnt easier then the other.

My gastric bypass story has come to an end. Yesterday I met with my surgeon and after a long discussion he thought it was best that I don't have any type of WLS. I started my road at 319 and the last 5 months I have been working hard and have lost 42lbs already so he thinks I have what it needs already to do this with out the tool of WLS. I have learned a lot here reading post and comments from this site and I thank you all. This site got me hooked on MFP and thats my new drive to getting this done. I wish you all luck I have seen great things come from WLS so do your research its a big decision glad you all found this site it can really help a person. Im on MFP as walleyebob977 if you want to look me up, its my new addiction send me a message there if you want to ask anything. BOB

I feel the program and the diet nuts have helped a lot. Maybe to much now that I'm working out 6 days a week and have been counting my calories and tracking them on MFP And with Good success. I feel I can keep this going, but I have came so far in the rny processes I have spent tons of money and time traveling for it. But wondering if I should put my self through the surgery now I got Till June to decided I guess I'll have a long talk with the surgeon Tuesday

Well 5 months ago I maybe the decision to have gastric bypass. Well to make I long story short I started eating right and working out and so far lost 43 lbs. This Tuesday I meet with my surgeon To discuss my options, not to sure if I want to go through with it now can I do it with exercise and diet I don't know. I'm over half way with the rny program.

Wondering if there are any guys that user fitness pal app feel free to add me

Feels like I have been going at this for years. I still have 5 more appointments before surgery. Wish there was some way to speed this up I'm getting tired of waiting. I don't know if can do anymore research my brain is filled to the max on gastric bypass. Lets just do it!

I started c25k 2 weeks ago its a good workout not really doing it to run a 5k but for the work out maybe it will lead me to run a 5k

I can tell you to keep your hopes up. My wife had Pcos and we tried for 4 years to have a kid. Lots of doc appointments and we tried almost everything, 9 months she had gastric bypass and in nov she got pregnant she is now 10 weeks. It can happen we thought it never would just keep your hopes up things happen for a reason.

Anyone can add me if they would like to MFP I'm still 6 months from having surgery but working to lose has much as possible. Walleyebob977 is my name

Thanks for taking the time to write that. I still have a wAys to go before surgery. One question at 10 weeks what stage are you at eating wise and what are some of the things you can have and can't have? Thanks

Wow I'm right there with you my mind is racing still. I have 5 months to go before surgery but I'm trying to give it all I got with good old fashion sweat. I tried adding you to my friends list on my fitness pal but for some reason I can't just add names. Mine is walleyebob977 if you want to add me. Good luck your not alone.

Just wondering if you add friends on fitness pal can you see what the eat? Just curious. Just need some ideas what people eat after surgery. I haven't had surgery yet but started using the app. I have mine set at 1800 calories hoping that's low enough to lose some weight in the next 5 months. Plus I try and burn some calories each day on the hamster wheel. If anyone would like to add me my name is walleyebob977

No fee here but had to sign a piece of paper stating that I would stick with there program after surgery. Like labs and stuff. Wife's bill to the hospital was 49,000 bucks glad we had insurance, but to charge a program fee that seems crazy. Cause most people still have to pay there detectable.

Thanks everyone it now or never. Just wish it didn't take so long, seem's like this is dragging on.

Thanks

It's going to be a crazy couple months. Im sure I can get through it all. If I don't do it now, who knows when. Still have 5 months to get everything in order, right?

Well I'm half way through the process, hoping to have surgery in may or June. The wife had RNY a year ago and is doing awesome really awesome. She had Pcos and we have tried for years to have a baby and now that she has had Rny and has lost a lot if weight, she is now pregnant which is awesome so excited!!! But wondering if I should post pone my surgery cause my surgery date should be in June and the kid due date is August. I just want to make sure I'm good to go and all healed up for when the kid comes. Think a month to a month and half is enough time in between ?

Mine was 560 questions all true or false took almost 2 hrs. It was old school where you fill in the circle with number 2 pencil. Then I had a 1 hr session to go over it, it was over rated I passed glad that parts done!

I just finished with my 3rd appointment got 3 more to go then I get to meet with the surgeon hoping to get this done in April maybe May. Wife went through it last year and did awesome so I got her for support it will all work out I have my own fears about this, but I also have fears what could happen if I don't get this done 33 male here with lots if life left.

Just wondering how many if any have had any type of leaks or bleeding after having it done. I know of three people personal that has had this done 2 did awesome. Now right now as I speak the third is now doing so good just wondering if anyone has had any type of leakage a week or so after surgery .

I'm still 5 months out from having surgery but I started using whey Protein and have noticed that there is a difference in the brands been doing some research but still haven't pin pointed it down. It's something to do with the lactose and different things they add. It causes serious stomach problems for me too. Hoping to get this figured out by time I have surgery any input on this would be great

I falls here only bad things about living in the great north is I have a 3 hr drive to my appointments 5 more appointments but its all going to be worth it.

How many times did you meet with your surgeon before the big day? Looks like I only meet with him at my last appointment the nurses and dietitian seem to take care of everything I have to do 6 diet meetings one a month for 6 months then a 7th with the surgeon Just seems like I should meet with him in the start of this to see if there might be any problems not sure

Wondering if I could Get that list Walleyebob977@gmail.com. Thanks

So true sounds like when I quit smoking 3 years ago it was baby steps but after I finally quit I also stopped a few other little habits. This being the second day after my first appointment and trying to retrain my self this is really going to help after failing huge today thanks for the words
