Hello I started taking antidepressants a few month ago and been 2 years post op and I been find. I think you will also be fine. Take it day by day. Things will get better. We are all here to help one anothe.

Hello I was just informed that I may require anoraks Surgury. This will be my 6th Surgury in 2 years. I falling apart. I been on Tpn for few months already to meet my nutritional needs. Today o got a Call from Gastro stating he will speak to surgeon. Has anyone experience roux stasis syndrome? Anyone have information. They saying the limb that goes to my small intestine is sluggish or not working. Please if anyone have any information I would appreciate it. I am so scared.

Hello Try not to get discourage. Did you have the sleeve or bypass?

Hello What you eating sounds good. Water is very important as well. I do know that it's good to mix up and not eat the same thing every day cause your metabolism needs to be confuse in order to burn fat from what I was told from a machine that is a Personal trainer and is into health. When did you have your Surgury? I will ask my friend since she had the sleeve and I had the bypass. I will help you as much as I can, don't worry. We all here to support one another. ?

You welcome. Only advice is to get yourself prepared by having everything you need for each stage after your Surgury so you have peace of mind that you are going to follow everything according. Go grocery shopping for what you need for a few weeks. It's easier that way. ?

Congratulations ?!! You are almost there. It shouldn't take to long. After I finished all my doctors visits and all my evaluations it took about 1 month for me because I wasn't able to do it earlier since I had some things that I had to take care of before being ready for Surgury. Best of luck.

Hello I know that feeling. I vomit when I over eat and it's worse feeling. What I do now is eat what I think is enough and stop and not let myself get full completely. I eat every 2 hours small meals throughtout the day instead of 3 main meals since I get full quickly.

Hello I think that everyone loses weight differently. I have a friend who had the Surgury and she didn't lose to much at beginning but within a year she started dropping weight and did very well. Some people lose fast in beginning and some steady. Don't worry you will be ok. What exactly r you eating in a day?

Hello I will be 2 years post op this December. I started taking antidepressants like 2 month ago and do not have any issues. I been find and actually mentally happy. Best of luck.

Hello Amburmist Please don't be discourage. Please be aware that we are all different and some people lose faster then others. Comparing yourself to others is tourtuing yourself. Give it one day at a time. May sure that you stick with what the nutritionist and doctors recommend. Also avoid foods that are not healthy as possible. Drink lots of fluids and be positive. You will get there. Sometimes your body is slow in beginning and then all of a sudden you start losing the weight. Stay focus and being very positive is important. Don't overthink to much. Your nutritionist can always help you with planning your meals and they can tell you how many calories to consume a day so you can properly be on track. Also writing down everything you eat and give you a visual look to what you are consuming daily. ?

Hello i think you should try oatmeal. It is very soothing for your stomach. It works for me and may work for you. I also make my own protein shakes with peanut butter , half banana , strawberry or any fruit you like with Gogi berry and I add a scoop of organize greens powder. I hope this can help you.

Hello Nursesmiley, I waited 6 weeks because I was kind of nervous and wanted to heal first. Idk if they is a time period to wait but I took a little longer to have energy and strength. This may be TMI but I will be honest to you, the sex is so much different. When I was heavier I didn't feel as much pleasure as I do now!!! It's amazing when you lose weight how your body changes. My husband states that I got tighter then before which makes it more pleasurable for both. Sorry for TMI but before I had problems reaching a orgasm and now it's so much easier and the feeling I feel is so strong. Again sorry for TMI but I am being honest. I feel that a women body changes. I have more desire now to have sex than before. It's kind of hard to put into words but it sure feels different. I didn't have any incision pain at all. I did feel a little uncomfortable at first with certain positions but as time goes by, you feel better. Also my self confidence is much better than before. The Surgury I had was gastric bypass. Sorry for expressing myself but I think it's important that we support one another. Best of luck ?.

Hello I have kept my Surgury a secret. Only person who knows is my husband, son and 2 great friends. I want to avoid having to hear negative opinions about people. I have not even told people and they already have commented so bad and imagine if they knew, it would be worse. A lot fun jealous people out there and sad to say sometimes it's your love ones or close friends. I try to avoid as much negativity as possible. There is nothing wrong with that.

Hello I had gastric bypass back in December 2015. I have experience dumping syndrome many times when I eat certain things but now I have been eating certain things that would cause dumping but I have not experience it. It depends on what and how much I eat of certain foods and snacks. Best of luck.

Glad all went well and hope to a speedy recovery. Get ready to start a great successful journey with lots of great health. ?
