That's great Fran. Congrats!!

Both of you have lost more than me though!!! That's great. I'm proud of you both!! Keep going!

I'm in Fort Worth

I sure could use a buddy!!

My gastric bypass was done Sept5, 2013. I'm seeing what others have lost around the same time. Jan 5 will be 4 months for me. I'm down 57lbs. I'm happy for the loss I just assumed it would be more by now but maybe not. Either way I'm happy for my decision. How's everyone else doing?! I wish everyone a fantastic new year with amazing results!! ????????

Super job! You look fabulous!!

Dr Kim did my surgery in Fort Worth. Weird thing is I only met him once and then saw him again the day of surgery. My insurance doesn't take him anymore but still covers the facility and drs there. They are really nice but I don't get the support I need. They have a meeting every month I think on the first wed of every month. Maybe I do need a therapist.

I've always been addicted to food. But I really thought if have an easier time with protein and such cause I've dieted that way before but I'm so not.

I'm not doing very good. I've lost 34lbs since my surgery Sept. 5th but I'm making very bad choices. I just can't seem to stay on track and I'm worried and I'm scared and I don't know how to get back on track. I'm eating things I shouldn't eat. I'm drinking a diet soda every so often and I know I shouldn't. My weight has stalled. I barley lose anything now. I know it's still soon but Im worried.

First few days I was MISERABLE and in so much pain. I could barely walk or move. Your heart may be in it but you probably wouldn't physically be able to handle it.

Old habits die hard I guess. I'm hoping I'll get over it soon

I understand it's not the best thing for us. I know it's not healthy but I was asking more for myself from time to time if I wanted one. One thing I learned from my past is that when I deny myself something I then over do it later with something much worse. It's a fault of mine that I'm still a work in progress on and I probably always will be.

So the stretching thing is true. I've heard some people say that it wasn't true. I was afraid of that.

I really want to try some but I'm scared

Yay that's awesome. That's something I drank allllllll the time!!! Thanks for this!!

That's so great to know thank you for letting me know about that. How far along were u when u tried them. I'm only three weeks out.

Ok I'm having a HARD time not having carbonation. Like my carbonated waters especially. Help. I know we're not supposed to. Has anyone tried at all and what happened?

I know you will be better soon:) please be safe at your 5k tomorrow. Talk to you soon!!

Well please let us know. I've been debating. I'm horrible at getting in my protein.

Are these pen pals only for pre-op or is it for newly post op too??

Thank you all for the suggestions. That's great!

Getting in the protein is just as hard tho. I'm tired of shakes

I'm getting really scared. I had my surgery sept 5, 2013 and I'm not getting enough protein in or 64oz of fluid. Is anyone else put there having the same issues? I've been so worried I'm making myself sick.

I can barely walk I'm so dang sore. I'm having to hold my side just to be able to get around which worries me.
