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. 😀

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
I experience a lot of Hair loss and had to cut my hair short but after a while, it started growing back. I also experience hair thinning but I found a great Biotin Shampoo and conditioner at a Vitamin store and been using it as well as fast melt biotin tablet and my hair has grown a lot. Your hair will grow back as long as you keep up with all your Vitamins and supplements recommended by your doctor. Best of luck 😀

Hello Berry78
I agree with you with the 70 grams of Protein a day. I am trying my best to consume this. Having a hard time enough trying to eat throughout the day and drink in between to increase my calorie intake. I hope I can do this. I also going to do my own shakes at home and add fruits and Protein Powder.

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.

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

Hello everyone
I am 18 month post op and if many of you have heard my stories will understand that I been through a lot since I had Surgury. Unfortunately I have had many complications and recently I was put on TPN which is iv nutrition for the second time. The reason I had gastric bypass was because I had severe erosion in my esophagus and had esophagitis and my surgeon told me that I could develop esophagus cancer. I was also overweight for my height. I am 4"11 and I was 189 pounds before Surgury. I would aspirate in my sleep and had the worse reflux ever. Now I have been very depress and feel so much regret since I lost so much weight. The surgeon is trying to figure out why is it that I keep losing and can't gain weight on my own. Last week I was 90 pounds and since on TPN I have gained 6 pounds. I am 96 pounds now. I was advice to see someone for Theapy but I want to be able to move on normally. Has anyone experience depression or regrets? Also I have had so many Surgury and never was able to fully workout and now I see sagging skin on my legs, arms and belly and feel more depress. I don't want to have more Surgury but I am trying to deal with all these emotions. Any suggestions will be appreciated. I am very Down and feel hopeless of life. I get teary and guilt is to much to handle. Thanks for reading my post and looking forward to hearing what you all think or advice.

Hello
when I have my Surgury, I was happy to know that there were people there to help me if needed. Everyone is different after Surgury. I think you have someone to help you around the house if you need it. That is nice to know you have a lot of support. 😀

Hello
i would not take it personal. Try not to take it in a bad way. By that person telling you just you are skinny, it's a good thing and take it as a complement. Also realize there will be many jealous people out there more than ever. I don't think that person meant to hurt you. They just saying that because they may be unhappy with themselves. I been told so many things and worse things because the people who have told me are actually jealous but I learned to ignore it. There are a lot of things I would tell them but I like to avoid issues because some people do not know how to handle certain things. The best thing you can do is ignore them if you can and if you can't just say "Thank You". 🙂
