Sorry for the typo's (typing with one hand while blow drying my hair lol) Can*** smoothies****

I am definitely losing inches for sure haven't been measuring myself but I cal feel it. Last week the stall broke [emoji4][emoji4][emoji1373][emoji1373]I was stuck forever almost two months at 230 and last week was 227 and today I am 224. I upped my water and started eating all organic and vegan and exercising more and I feel soooooo incredible. Meat tends to taste gamey these days and make me sick. Thank you all so much for your support. I am having now one of my favs - smoothie I make almost everyday in my nutribullet..... banana, spinach, blueberries, almond/coconut milk blend unsweetened with some raw organic honey.

I had my bypass on October 24th 2016 and I have lost about 55lbs. I am really discouraged right now because I am at a stall for about six weeks and I am for the most part doing everything correct and even upped my water and exercise

Thanks you guys I really appreciate it. I upped my water and did 75oz today which is a record! just had dinner too. I made zucchini and yellow squash noodles, chopped onion and mushrooms cooked in coconut oil, seasoned with garlic salt and topped with avocado. So good! Then hitting up the gym later. Hope to see that scale move by Monday ! Let's think positive thoughts and put it out into the universe [emoji179][emoji1373]

This is me when I first began my weight loss at 330 on the left...and I am now at 227....so a little over 100lbs....I would love to be 180 or even 170.

I usually have my coffee and tea in the morning, (green tea) (coffee with equal and little half & half) with either eggs and cheese or a greek yogurt ....or I will have a Protein shake.....I have an apple for a snack.....and lunch is either a salad or lunch meat....I have had half a sandwich before but I don't eat the crust of the bread because it makes me so full.....For dinner I have veggies and chicken.....I also occasionally have a sugar free fudge stick....another shake.....and more green tea before bed.....I haven't really upped my exercise....I do walking...gym here and there....and taking belly dancing class every Friday at for one hour......I snack on string cheese, cashews, popcorn, banana, and I am taking my Vitamins......... What is your current weight? I think you made a mistake

I am kind of freaking out just a little....I have not lost any weight for a whole month.....I am at four months and one week post op......is this normal??

Hi, we had our surgery on the same day do not worry about the stalls, they're totally normal. Weight gain sometimes as well, during menstrual cycle is normal too. Even if you are eating, you are only getting 1/2 of that in because the rest is being bypassed (where they got the name from). So it's double penetration toward weight loss since not only are we eating small amounts, our bodies aren't even absorbing all of what we put in...which is why it's so important too to take our Vitamins everyday. Let's keep in touch! You are doing great.

I have it here and there and I love it and have no problem and still losing weight at a good pace....Popcorn comforts me too because I don't get full too fast. I can actually enjoy myself by eating small hand fulls for a 10-15 minute period.

My doctor told me it will get easier with time Hard boiled eggs get me sick too sometimes...and you have to chew them really good as well ...I find over easy eggs better to digest! Dairy messes with me a lot though....

What is a mini gastric bypass?

Anything dairy I seriously pay the price for ....Had some chicken at Disneyland this last Friday and it got stuck and I had to throw up. I also can't stand coffee anymore and fell in love with green tea. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Cool will do....four weeks post op today no weight lost lol but I am sure I will be just fine I feel my body shrinking it's so crazy! No weight loss this week**

Awesome! Thank you so much for the information I really appreciate that, and it makes me feel sooooooooo much better Support is so necessary after this surgery...Have a great weekend everyone~

Yeah that's true...Honestly everyone that I know that's has the bypass didn't lose less than 100lbs...I follow people on IG and of course here, and everyone has great success stories...I just get paranoid I guess...What is everyone eating these days during their week 3 & 4? Anyone having trouble with dairy? I can't handle dairy anymore...I also cant stand the smell or thought of coffee after surgery...and I was a big coffee drinker....Now I drink green tea instead, which is actually better for you anyways so that's a plus

Anyone notice a stall in the weight loss during week 3 transitioning to 4? Sorry if I sound petty! lol

WOW!! Congrats, we are literally neighbors like you said, and our dates are so close!! I would love to stay in touch.....today is my three weeks post op so stoked!

Tomorrow is my two weeks post op and I'm down 18lbs so far Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had the sleeve done in August 2014 & lost 70lbs just like you, and gained 20lbs back. I was still very far off from my goal weighing 260 at the time ....I tried diet, and diet pills and the most I would lose was 10-15 pounds which was super frustrating. My doctor decided it was time to convert me to the bypass. Like volleyball girl said ^^^ there is less restriction with the bypass. I can sip sip sip and not feel full or discomfort. The recovery is longer though for sure...more painful and lingers .....I can have soft foods now and I enjoyed my scrambled egg and ate very slowly and chewed it to mush. Today I was rushing when I had my egg and I felt really full 3/4 of the way and threw out the rest. I also felt uncomfortable & pain as well. Won't be doing that again. I also had a small size cottage cheese snack. I feel satisfied after I eat, nor really that full feeling as I did with the sleeve. We shouldn't eat until we feel that full feeing anyways, we should just feel satisfied good luck and you will do just fine ! Yes the whole liquid thing is a pain but stay focused on the bigger picture . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Sherri I don't feel really any tightness there, but a little pain rather & it's also still very bruised. I still have stomach pain but it has lessened so much. Each day I get better. My incisions are almost completely healed. I am down 14lbs. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Lynn614 Wow congrats! And kudos to same day ???? ....I had my egg and ate very slowly, and all was good....this morning I was rushing and halfway through felt very full and little pain and a lot of discomfort . Won't be doing that again. Still getting Water and Protein shakes good without much restriction. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

James - very well said Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah Protein shakes do get tiresome no doubt. Today I able to eat my first scrambled egg and it was so yummy. I ate very slow of course and lightly seasoned. However, about the Protein Shakes, one I've never got tired of is a powered plant based one from costco called Organic Orgain....because regardless you'll still need to get your protein in....and like the above person mentioned, try Beans, lentils, hummus, tomato basil Soup is great & add some milk (Fairfield has the most protein) for extra protein. My doctor wants me to steer away from potatoes at all cost. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
