I wasnt 400lbs when i had my bypass but at my heaviest i was 398lbs. So i understand how u may feel. U will do great. Over the years i lost and gained but i was 239before my bypass, 8/12/2014, I lost 44lbs in 7weeks. Now im at a stall. My goal is 170 but the dr said i will b less than that. I also know someone who was 400lbs and sleeved who is now 175lb after two ears. So with tha being said.....dont short change yourself ???? u got this! Jusy remember one day at a time...,, Good luck on your journey

Oh, before i forget. Yes, i exercise. I ride a mountain bike plus walk on my treadmill 30mins five times a week.

Hello everyone. Im so happy to hear there are others out there like myself. I was 239lbs before my surgery with a BMI of 35. I stand 5'8" I was once 398LBS but lost most of that weight on my own. I just never couldn't get less than 200lbs. Well, on 8/5 I was 239, had the bypass on 8/12 but was 226 after doing the pre-op liquid diet, 195lbs after 7weeks, now im at a stall....lol 44lbs total Im happy to understand that im not doing something wrong in my program after reading everyone's post. The slower weight lost is to be expected since the excess weight that i do carry isn't a drastic number. I would like to thank all of you for sharing your thoughts, opinions, and experience. It has truly been a great tool to help me in my journey! Xoxoxo's

I am not sure of the percentage but i can personally say that i did lose some hair after the surgery. My nutritious and medical support team warned me that this could be possible. I was told to make sure i got the adequate amount of protein each day and i will see my hair grow back and stronger nails. Also with the help of my daily vitamins.

I hope things get better for u. My surgeon had me start my protein drinks right after surgery. I had a gastric bypass 8/12/2014, I was drinking Isopure. It's considered a clear protein drink and safe to have as your stomach heals. I am also a diabetic. Whenever my sugar got too low i would have regular jello to help. Plus the calories from the protein drink would also help. Concentrate more on fluids than eating . It is very important to stay hydrated! Keep in touch with your medical team.....they are there to help. Good luck, sweetie.

I was told no caffeine, sodas, or carbonated drinks of any kind, ever. Both by my surgeon and nutritious. Too many NSAIDS isn't good for anyone. Especially after having any type of weight lost surgery. We no longer have enough stomach acid to help break down whats in them. Too many NSAIDS can also cause kidney damage in the long run. Speak to your medical team. They will know what works for you since they are the ones who know your medical history. Good luck on your journey ????

Thank u sweetie. Please keep us posted on your journey! Good luck....
