I get drunk really fast and easily... 2 beers and I'm a little more than buzzed...before the surgery I could drink a 6 pack easily and just get a little buzz...but It doesn't last as long.

Hey...I'm a year and half post op. Gas is very normal and can be very uncomfortable. Try using gas x (ask doctor first) also try lifting your arms over your head for chest gas. Walk around the block for intestinal gas...so you can fart: )

Yeah!

Thanks, yes... I've been going to therapy and a doctor for many years now. I'm diagnosed bipolar with bad anxiety, I've been on Effexor for 8+years and I'm currently weaning myself off of them. The withdrawal symptoms are terrible. But I am keeping a close eye on my moods and depression and would notify the doctor or get help if I need it.

Thanks for the kind words

... Also I can't update my profile pic of the less fat me

Today is my one year anniversary of my GB, I'm down 152lbs (33 male 6"1') although everyone congratulates me on my great "accomplishments", I don't feel very happy or different and this is disappointing because, I thought weight was holding me back in life, yes, it may have partly been that but it's become inherently clear that I have much work to do.

I kind of feel the same way, maybe it's because I don't convey my self eloquently enough or I'm boring. Lol

Philadelphia here

Hey! I'm in Philly, also from the Mayfair area

Hey...im 11 months out and down about 150lbs....I have allot of loose skin that im self conscious about, but id rather that skin be loose rather than filled out with fat

Im in the same boat...its getting depressing

I've been walking a mile every day. Today after my walk I noticed that two of my incision spots were sore and raw after walking, I think its from my shirt rubbing against them...anyone else ever have this?

No, same for me. Liquids for 2 weeks...pureed Protein weeks 3-5
