I had gastric bypass August 1st. That first week was tough, but as soon as they let me have "pudding consistency" foods my energy level shot up. I am not having any trouble whatsoever eating. Nothing I've eaten makes me nauseated. During that first week of Clear liquids i lost 17 pounds and now I'm averaging about 3 pounds per week... which is fine... I'm still losing. Out of all the people I know that have had the surgery i seem to be the only one who hasn't struggled in some shape/form/fashion with eating/nausea. I know It sounds ludicrous to worry but i had this surgery to gain control of my health and I don't want to fail. It seems to easy compared to everyone elses stories... Has anyone else had this experience?

Lol dare I say it's gone down to only one chin already:)

I am only 3.5 weeks post op- I picked up an old pair of size 24's last night and said there is no way these will fit- I had been wearing a 30 before surgery. They fit perfectly.

Ok I just had a Hugh non-scale victory
I just completed the first day of c5k
I just cried when I finished because
I have been over weight for over 20 years
And have not even been able to walk without pain

I was able to wear a size 50 dress pants today. This is a huge milestone for me as I started out at size 70 in the waist. I am so super excited.

Yet another thing I'm looking forward to. People who've never been heavy really have no idea what bliss something like this can be!

I can pray on my knees and get up afterwards.

This is very common after surgery, it's a combo of high Protein and Iron and you are eating far less than your body is use to so you will not go as much or often... differ things work for differ people after trying things my doctor suggested I found miralax every other day works for me others try Smooth Move tea... just don't let it go to long with no movement at all
