Agreed - I plan to give the surgeon a call

Hello all - Has anyone developed IBS post Gastric Bypass surgery? I feel like my stomach is bloated. I experienced this at one year out last July and my APN told me to change my diet. I’m feeling the same symptoms at almost 2yrs out and wanted to know if this is common. It’s more of a full or bloated feeling with or without eating. No diarrhea or gas. Thoughts?

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
