Hi Ladies...my name is Valarie and I live in Old Bridge NJ. I am 10 months in for my gastric bypass. My start weight was 242 pds. I am now 174 pds. Wearing sz. 8's...mediums, some smalls. Would like to get to 150...although I may look sickly at that weight. I am fearful of gaining my weight back because I'm not doing the right things. I exercise but my eating is slowly returning to the old ways. I know the right things to do...don't want to do them...if I gain this weight back I will b soo ashamed of myself. God blessed me with this tool...I have to figure out a way to respect this gift. Soo many people are not fortunate to have the surgery like we are. Just needed to call myself out where I am. Blessings on the new baby and your journeys...I'd like to stay in touch

Hi Carla, my name is Valarie. Thank you for your story. I too have had gastric bypass. I am 10 months out. So far I am down 79pds. I too agree that it was the best decision I've ever made. I now can eat most things I could b 4 the surgery with no dumping. I can tolerate more food. This scares me because I don't want to gain the weight back. Getting my head and stomach to match is a daily battle. I'm sooo scared of the weigh gain that I can't enjoy where I am now. I live in Old Bridge, NJ...I am going to do two shakes and a meal tomorrow...get back to my basics. Thank you...oh...I too work out...love that...mine is eating...

Thanks Carla...for now I'm staying with the basics....liquids during the day. And protein and vegs for dinner.

Hi Carla, my name is Valarie. I had my bypass September 13th of last year. I was 252 the morning of the surgery. Mine was perfect. I've healed nicely. I am currently at 174 pds. My Dr. Is encouraging me to eat regularly...I have started to add some things that I haven't eaten and I have no sicknesses from them. I'm concerned I'm gonna gain my weight back. I wish you well and will keep you in my prayers.

I know those jitters! Don't let them stop you from living your best life. I had my bypass Sept. 10th of this year. I am 54. In three months I have lost 52pds! It is still by far the best decision I ever made! Soooooo glad I didn't listen to those jitters! Let's do this! My prayers are with you!

Hi my weight loss family...I had gastric bypass surgery on September 10th of this year. I am down 27pds in three weeks! Still trying to figure out what to eat. Still doing my protein drinks..protein is crucial...60 t0 80 grams daily is what my Dr. wants...

My surgery was this past Thursday so I'm still sore and sleeping a lot...sipping water and protein drink

My surgery was 2hs
