Thank you for the advice. Sometimes you just need to hear the support and positive feedback

When I used to diet, I found it helpful to start with a "cleanse." Making a drastic change in my eating habits for a few days did seem to help me take my diet seriously. For a while. But now I'm leaving the diet mentality behind. Now I'm concentrating on nutrition and controlling recreational eating for the long term.

First time ever- a couple of coworkers noticed my weight loss and ask how I Did it. What's the magic pill!! No I just had my stomach amputated so I could no longer shove food constantly in my big fat lying face.but I paid for it, so suck my balls

You can do it...I'm sure we all went through some food mourning prior to surgery. Stay positive and educated and you'll do great. This app is great for feeling out what's normal with mind that everyone's different. Keep the nay sayers at a distance.

Continue to research and know that RNY is whats best. I was faced with the same concerns & issues and I'm thankful I came around. I have no regrets after bypass. - 6 mo out, down 75 pounds.

Going through my insurance required six month supervised diet. Very anxious for time to pass to get my surgery. I finish in May, so am optimistically looking at June for surgery. Anyone else around my stage? Isn't the wait killing you????

Put the scale away and focus on nutrition and moving. The weight will come off, I promise.

@@rhfactor272 I couldn't agree more with ^^^. I had same experience and so glad I went with doctors recommendation and had the RNY.

I was in your shoes and was upset because my doctor pretty much flat out refused to do the sleeve because of it. I continued to research and found the bypass addressed the barretts as well with the elimination of reflux and then some. It completely changed my decision. I also found many who had the sleeve got the revision to bypass due to the gerd. I don't know about you but I'd rather get the cadillac and do it once then to continue and bring my ass into the shop over and over. Im not knockin the sleeve though...I was all for it for a reason and it works with many...just not me.

I'm 6 months out, I lost some of my hairline? I thought i was imagining it until i just noticed some growth there. So I'm hoping no more loss. I've been taking Biotin religiously since month 2.

I just noticed above comment...I had to start taking Iron about a month ago after my 6 mo labs came back as very low, border anemic. That may be contributing to the regrowth as well.

Hi mine was 3 weeks I increase my Protein and food intake I'm now at 1000 calories a day , 95-100 grams of protein, 9 glass of Water a day and I exercise for 90-120 minutes a day for 5 days a week and this has help.

I had galbladder removed as well btw.

I agree with staceylc...i took 3 weeks...i couldve done 2 if needed. Energy is lacking afterward so i took my time after bypass.

Every morning I take plain nonfat greek yogurt (most protein), a good vanilla Protein Powder, nonfat milk, ice & frozen blueberries or whatever fruit I have and hit my nutrabullet "type" machine (its a copycat but does the job). I swear I taste cheesecake in every sip. And its loaded with Protein. Thats my Breakfast. Im about 6 weeks out now and got sick of the shakes real quick! Try it, you'll love it!

Enjoy the journey. Write down everything that goes in your mouth. Have fun watching the new emerge. Walk... Have fun

I was released the next day and wore loose, comfy clothing. Brought nothing.
