Yes...my emotions were all over the place for a couple months! It does get better....I didn't think it would ..but it has [emoji2]

Sanju....I cannot speak from experience of a sleeve, but I do know being a gastric bypass patient, I can eat more some days then others. Maybe contact your Drs office and see if there is a reason to be concerned? Best of luck to you! We are all on the same journey here...lose weight and get healthy! There is no such thing as One Size Fits All...in my opinion [emoji4]

Gastric bypass here...no tube here either [emoji106]

Don't underestimate yourself! You are obviously a strong person to write this post...please don't feel ashamed! You will find yourself...like you said...you are a survivor!! Good luck! [emoji4]

People who park so close I can't get in my driver side door!! Or that park so close to my bumper it takes me 5 minutes to get out! [emoji35]

The Flinstones I took were one chewable a day for an adult.

Yep! Normal [emoji106]

I agree with the others...you don't need much post op...I bought all these different protein powders and hardly used them...I resorted back to the premade Premier chocolate protein shakes that I like the best...I'm almost 4 months post op and I drink one a day and get the rest of my protein from food....As for vitamins...Flinstones chewables were my go to and really reasonably priced at Walmart. Good luck!!

My NUT said that if you have a cracker or two to be sure to pair it with protein. Tuna, chicken, cheese, lunch meat...etc...

Maybe you would benefit from a probiotic. Reintroduce good bacteria back into your gut. It helped me [emoji3]

I think the key is to just move! [emoji3] Doesn't matter how you do it.

Shaving my legs and armpits!! I feel like a contortionist sometimes. We learn to do things certain ways being obese. Another one is getting in and out of my van. I need to hop in now [emoji12]

Congratulations!! That's fantastic!!

I'm excited but nervous about clothes shopping....I've always had to buy whatever fits so I don't have much fashion sense! I don't know where to start [emoji16] I have a closet full of clothes that I was going to "work" my way into ...well now I'm working my way out of them so it's getting close to shopping time. [emoji15] Happy shopping everyone [emoji106]

Congratulations!!

Wow!! Amazing! Congratulations! You look great [emoji4][emoji322][emoji322]

I wish I could answer your questions...unfortunately I know nothing about the mini bypass. It is completely normal to be scared. It's a huge lifestyle change! I had the full bypass almost 3 months ago and food hasn't been an issue for me...I'm just not hungry!

Welcome to the losers bench! Happy to hear everything went well for you [emoji2]

Good luck!

Awesome! Congratulations! You look very happy [emoji7]

Thank you ReneK...I like both of those...will have to see if they like me [emoji106]

Inner Surfer Girl...Yes I can have oatmeal....that's a great idea with the PB2! Thank you [emoji3]

Kristenle....thanks for the advice....I'm not having much trouble with protein but I'm getting it by drinking protein shakes ...I want to be able to reach my protein goal without relying on the shakes eventually [emoji2]. My nutritionist had told me she doesn't want my body to get use to living on such few calories..She wants me to work my way up to 1000-1200 calories a day eventually [emoji106]

Looking for some food advice/ideas to help me reach my 600-800 calories I should be getting 11 weeks post op. On a good day I'm around 500 calories. I'm at the point where I can have 2-3oz of protein but I struggle even getting 1.5 oz . So far today I had my protein shake for breakfast. 116 calories....for lunch...1 oz grilled chicken, 1 oz fresh mozzarella and half a small banana for a total of 144 calories. Not sure what to eat! Any advice would be greatly appreciated [emoji3]

Sorry you are in pain! It does get better and welcome to the losers bench! Take care of yourself and rest up [emoji3][emoji106]
