I mean it was NOT excruciating pain just discomfort

I would say about a week and it was excruciating pain, mostly discomfort from the incision sites

Interesting - Thanks for sharing on the anemia. During my last checkup they did find that my iron levels were low and added a vitamin A and Ferritin to the supplements that I am taking. I didn’t realize that this had anything to do with weightloss. I agree, more losses just slower. Thank you

Thanks for the insight. Agreed.

Thanks - makes sense. This is helpful

This is helpful. Thanks for sharing

Hey everyone. Question for those greater than 8mos out. Is there a stall period with Gastric Bypass before your 12-18mos window of opportunity or was weight loss consistent with a slowing down period? I’m 8mos out and the weightloss has slowed down. I’m actually happy at this weight, 70lb loss and 5’11. But wondering if I should expect more weightloss through the 12mos period? My surgeon stated that he expected me to be around 205-220 as a good weight. I’m currently at 222. Any information is appreciated

Yes - i have my measurer now. Thanks

Yes, being mindful of the full feeling is key. Thx

Yes - The slow full signal. Most times your full signal isn’t right away so I’m thinking I’m eating more than necessary because by the the time my full signal hits, I’m super full. Thank you

Thank you. I have a scale, I’m going to put it to use.

I don’t drink while eating. I was told to wait at least 30 minutes in between for each. Since it takes a few for your food to digest, perhaps I’m not eating as slow as I could. I think that may be the issue. I’m not scarfing food down, but I’m also not eating as slow as I could. This is helpful, the mention of taking my time. I’ll consider that. Thanks

Hi guys - I’m just shy of 6mos out from Gastric Bypass and have a question on portion sizes. Any idea what the portion sizes or ounces one should be eating at 6mos out? Grant it there are some days when I can have more than others but is there an estimate? Sometimes I feel like I’m eating too much. Meaning, the food goes down fine but 15mins later my stomach is super full. I’m thinking if I base it on ounces then I wouldn’t have this issue and maybe a better stopping point. Let me know your thoughts - thanks

Thank you so much. My labs showed that all is well. I may need to adjust my meds but my blood work came back fine. Thanks

Has anyone experienced thyroid issues after your surgery? My surgery was on 12/2. For the past two weeks it feels like my thyroid is about to jump out my neck. I didn’t realize what it was until first thinking it was my heart rate. But after getting that checked it was on. However, I was sleep the other night and I kept feeling like something was beating quickly then noticed it was my thyroid. I didn’t take my thyroid medicine today. I was thinking it may need to be adjusted. I will also call my doctor to schedule an appt and I have a blood test that he ordered when I went to see him last week and the thyroid function test is a part of that. Anybody experience this? I’m on Armour thyroid 120mg for hypothyroidism.
