Miss - I miss Coke! Don't miss- I like that I can actually stoop down to get something and I don't lose my balance because of my size.

I had a few white ones also after surgery. I didn't have any pain and it was only a few then they went back to color. It freaked me out also.

I took off 2weeks and was fine when I went back. I work in an office as well.

I am 13 months out. Surgery weight 258 5'4 today's weight 143. It is definitely doable!

My doctor told me after 18 months your body has pretty much reset and that is where the easier weight loss stops.

My doctor told me it is really hard to stretch out your stomach. He said it will stretch out but usually not a huge amount. He said the weight gain is usually what you are eating and how often you are eating. Go back to the basics. There is a "5 day pouch test" you can do, it is supposed to kick start you again. Good Luck! You can do this!

I had my surgery August 2014. It has happened to me three times, twice the third day after surgery. We ruled it down to the protein powder I was using. I at first thought it was the pain meds so I stopped it and when I drank my next protein it happened again. Then it didn't happen again until about a month ago about 20 minutes after I ate a protein bar in a new flavor....

I am 44, my surgery date was 8/7/14. At 10 months out I have lost 104 pounds. I do have a lot of loose skin in my stomach. My neck does not look as bad as I feared it would and people actually tell me I look younger. So be excited for what is to come, it is for sure a journey but it is so worth it. I did not have a goal weight in mind when I started this I was just trying to get healthy, I have meet my medical goal as far as the doctor is concerned and he thinks I will still lose another 10 to 15 pounds. I am one who still sees myself 100 pounds heavier but my mind is starting to shift, it is a slow process for me to see myself different. Good luck to all!

I was 43 at the time of surgery. I am 6 months out.

I was only uncomfortable for 4days after my bypass and I went back to work a 2 weeks. I was tired that first week back to work but have been fine since. Good luck!

I also had my surgery in August, I am down 83 pounds. Mine is also slowed way down, to about a pound every 6 to 7 days.

My hairdresser told me to use Bedhead shampoo and conditioner, the number 3 one for weak fragile hair. I also cut mine have noticed the hair loss has slowed down.

I stopped hurting after 4 days. Hang in there it gets better!

I had my surgery 8/7/14 and went back 8/26/14 with no problems. I have a desk job in a very busy doctors office.

I went back at two weeks with no problems. It felt good to get back to normal.

I was wondering my bowel movements have been either a golden / or a almost white color. Is this normal? I have one about every 4 or 5 days. I am 5 weeks post op.
