Some of us just aren't as confident as you.

Exactly! I needed to stop this train!
3 weeks out and I love how every morning I wake up to my husband standing over my side of the bed in disbelief at how small my stomach is. Hehehehe. This is only 3 weeks. You just wait.

I am 17 days post-op gastric bypass and gallbladder removal. I just ???? all by my self!!! Yaaaaay!!!
It was all white. Should I worry?

You're nearly done with school. Put your heart and soul into it. When that's all done, focus all of your heart and soul on your bypass. It's not an emergency surgery, but a lifestyle change. Make that change when you can accommodate it.

My time has finally arrived! I am en route to the hospital to have RNY gastric bypass. I am surprisingly calm. I have my wonderful husband and son by my side. Once I get checked in I will post an update. Have a great morning.

Sounds just like baby poop. When they're exclusively breastfed, it's like mustard cottage cheese. After you introduce solids, you wonder how something so small can poop such turds. Plus, they usually get constipated on the transition from breastmilk to food.< /p>

I gave myself the injection, in my belly, for 30 days post op. Make sure you do too !! It's gets to be old hat after a few days & doesn't even hurt ... I promise ????

I saw this and thought, "WLS?"

Something tells me I will be needing this soon.

This is truly unbelievable and impossible IF you actually had the gastric bypass! I have heard talk of "lurkers" on this site. I think you may be one!!

It's also possible that you're actually REALLY hurting your pouch and don't even know it, because when everything is rerouted during surgery, the nerves are severed, and it takes time for them to reconnect and heal. Imagine putting your hand on the stove while it's on high but you can't feel it burning - it is definitely still burning, and you are definitely still damaging yourself. Talk to your surgeon asap! And seriously, I know it's hard because old habits die hard and it doesn't feel like there is any problem with how much you are eating but you really should measure out your food, eat EXACTLY what your NUT says, and generally just eat a lot less than you are. I would hate to find out something happened to you.
Just because you CAN does not in any way mean you SHOULD. Take care, get help soon.

What? I wasn't being a smart ass. I was just pointing out that the sleeve doesn't fail...the person attached to it does. If we work our plan and stick with the basics 90% of the time.... IE Protein first, minimal starchy carbs and processed crap and sugar, drinking plenty of Water and moving more, it will work for us.
Too many people rely too much on the tool, as opposed to actually working the tool. Unfortunately, it won't always be as effective as it is in the beginning. That's when our good eating and excersise habits that we've (hopefully) cemented early on will really help get to goal and keep it off.

Liver panel, creatinine, and bun came back normal. Still waiting on Vitamin D and ultrasound results. Keep praying

I hope so, too!
I'm taking 4400IU per day plus 50,000IU once per week.
