I was back at work after 2 weeks, I work with kids so I walk a lot but no lifting.

Just to clarify!! I'm not saying it is easy to lose weight and if you have a problem with food I know it is very difficult, I just never understood the Tumor talk, specially when people didn't really ask her

I keep meeting people that are morbidly obese, yet say that they hardly eat anything everyday. What? It really comes down to an overabundance of daily calories and lack of exercise when you are more than 100 pounds overweight. It just seems that some have the hardest time admitting that they are an overeater. Even on this forum, I have read posts from others saying they never over ate and got very obese from psych meds and hypothyroidism alone. Sorry, no. Meds and thyroid problems will not cause more than a 10-25 pound weight gain.

Such denial will really get in the way of weight loss success after surgery.

You know? This reminded me of my sister, she is about 400lbs, mind you I know this girl my whole life and know she doesn't have any illness that contributes to her weight loss, she had the lap band done but didn't lose any weight (I read that it isn't very effective but people still lose some weight?) and kept eating the same way; however, she keeps telling people she has a tumor that makes her gain weight ????

Congratulations!!!

My gf started acting funny when I told her bout the surgery and she even admitted that she was scared afterwards I'll get side lovers or something. We broke up right before surgery I've read many stories, at the end I hope she is supportive with you but if she's not you need to take care of yourself, be healthy for yourself.

I was prescribed omeprazole as well for stomach acid, the first few days after surgery I wasn't taking it because I felt I had so many pills (I'm not a pill person at all) but ended up always hungry the NUT said was stomach acid and to take the pill and it did help.

I think a month should be enough, I was freaking out because the doctor had schedule my surgery for a month since I had recently smoked and then there I went and had a cigarette and I was freaking out so I did a lot of research usually what they say they look for is Cotinine which stays in your system for about a week from what I've read, nicotine stays 2-4 days, I think you'll be alright. Good luck

I'm going thru the same thing, I'm glad the second stage solved it for you and many others, I hope it will be the same for me because I feel so hungry and then I don't know if it's head hunger or actual hunger, I thought it could be the acid but I've been drinking the acid blockers, I start purée food on Tuesday, I'm so excited lol.

I try not to but I've noticed I'm weighing myself everyday, I'll try not to tho I feel is not very good for me, I like to see weekly results and NSV

Ok thanks guys! I'll contact my surgeon, I just get a little panicky sometimes, and yes @@WL WARRIOR I can only sleep on my back too, actually I feel a little relieve that this is I guess normal, and if you can find it I'll appreciate it if not is ok too thank you @@FFDoc180

again thanks!

I didn't receive nothing like that is the same pain but now is constant, if it continues I think I'm going to the ER because it really starts to hurt a lot

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong lace :/

Hey guys! So I'm 4 days post op and I'm in so much pain, they prescribed me the Percocet but it only alleviates the pain slightly, I can barely move, I still do my walks tho but to lay down or get up or even walking in hunched over because of the pain, is this normal? How did you cope with the pain?

Yes she was worried about it too but we had different surgeries so I wasn't sure how many similarities there is, I'm so thankful for this forum and everybody in it thanks!

I don't think is a good idea, I'm also not going to be rude answering you, but ask your doctor when it will be ok to drink some alcohol. Usually is not until months after.

Try some of the ideas mentioned. I'm only 4 days post op but boy was I hungry and then I was able to take the anti acid and now I'm fine, you'll be ok I guess it just takes time to get used to it. Talk to your doctor. Hopefully you'll feel better soon.

I can't wait til I can have before and after pics, I had surgery on Monday I'm already 10 lbs down but not much of a difference. Everyone looks amazing! Congrats!!

Hello everyone, thank you for your help! My friend went to the ER and they told her everything appeared fine, I'm glad she went though and now we can be sure. Thanks again!

Thanks guys, Yes she was given the breathing thingy, I forgot the name too, I showed her your answers and she is going to the hospital to be sure and safe, thanks again for your answers!!

My friend had rnY gastric bypass last week and the weather here has been really humid, she said when she goes for her short walks she's always out of breath and get a little light headed. Is this normal? She also said she hasn't been able to take in all her liquids. Could it be dehydration? Or something more serious?

I originally told my mom when I first thought about getting it but I told her to please not tell anybody because it was my business, next day I get a call from my sister in law asking about the surgery, so I ended up telling my mom that j changed my mind, I got sleeved 2 days ago I haven't seen my mom in a few months so she might be able to tell idk yet. I did tell one of my brother, 3 of my best friends and my neighbor who had gastric bypass so we are like supporting each other through the journey. Other than that I don't know what I should tell people, personally I don't want to talk about the surgery unless is someone who might benefit from it too.

Hey Cocobelle, the pain med helps a lot, without them I wouldn't even be able to get up. I'm pretty sure you'll be fine too

laurabarto26, I had gastric sleeve, me too, I can't wait

Thanks! ☺️

Thanks! I've learned so much from this forum, it made me better prepared.
