Hi everyone!
I found this awesome list of Protein foods on a vegan website. Of course the old adage of "if you are vegan, you cannot get enough Protein in your diet" seems dashed now. I am not a vegan, but this site does give a lot of good info. Personally I love edamame (soybeans) and they have 29 grams of protein in one cup!!! Hope this helps some of you

Hi y'all I am Connie and I had bypass @ Forest Park Dallas 2 weeks ago. Always looking for new friends to meet up with. If there are enough of us in Arlington/Mansfield/Burleson/Ft. Worth/Kennedale area, maybe we could start a local (non Dallas area) support group??

I originally wanted the duo switch, but the weight I lost put me below the BMI for ins to cover it. I decided to go with sleeve but then on my last consult, they wanted to at least tell me about the bypass and its benefits. The highlights were:
Better hunger control vs. sleeve
Reduction of certain cancers by about 70%
Less chance of reflux issues
The ability to still lose weight 12-18 months post op
Less stalling of weight loss and plateaus
About 75% loss of excess body weight
The only WLS that is 100% reversible
I have dropped 20 pounds in 2 weeks and am honestly shocked. They told me to expect 1-3 pounds per week and about 12 pounds a month.

Good luck LMFM!!! I was so ready for mine too. I don't think I have seen anything less than a 200 number on the scale since jr high!! I had my bypass Dec 16th. Keep us posted!!

My mom felt the same way. I had surgery Dec 16th, so I was on full liquids when Christmas rolled around. I told her not to worry about and it was the first of many times I would have to control my food lust; mainly because I didn't have a choice anymore! It was rough, and I did have to get out of the house for a while, but my family and the people on here were very supportive ???? best of luck to him!!! I have dropped 20 pounds in 2 weeks and I am still in disbelief, lol!!!

Hello all,
I am a week post op from my gastric bypass surgery at Forest Park Dallas. I have lost 10 pounds so far and I am now pain free. I am amazed at the progression I have made in such a short time. I could not be happier, and I am ready for this journey to begin.
I have been heavy all my life, and was the kind of girl who was always told, "You have such a pretty face, if you could just lose some weight." I was always thankful that if I had to be fat, at least I was pretty!! I am the "healthy fat" person; no diabetes, BP, cholesterol, heart issues at all. Most of the reason I chose to have the surgery was pure vanity. I have never been able to shop in a normal store, wear teal summer clothes, a bathing suit, fit in a bathtub, not have my thighs touch, and a whole miriad of other things that I want to do before I die, lol! I am tired of being hot all the time, sweating while I am getting ready for work, and always being the fat friend. However, I do have a family history of all the things mentioned, and I do have a 3 year old son to raise, so here we are!!
I am now at the lowest weight I can remember which was in 2005. I have no idea what I am going to look like when this is all over, but I am ready for the ride!!!

Today I had my first NSV ???????? I have a pair of pajamas with boxer style shorts that have stiff scalloped edging on the legs. They were always tight and I put them on this morning and the legs were loose!!!! I am discovering the bulk is coming off my legs, upper thighs and butt area first. I actually had butt sag in a pair of my jeans the other day too, LOL!!
Thank you all for the support over Christmas. I got through just fine like you all said I would. I am concentrating on getting my Protein, Water and walking in everyday and putting my focus on that. ????
