OMG so I'm not the only one with cold feet????? Lol Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
It's been 3 months since my gastric bypass surgery. I have what they think it's gastritis. If it doesn't heal with reflux meds they'll do an endoscopy to check for an ulcer. I've had a few episodes of dumping in which the longest lasted a few hrs. That, at this point, it's the worst of my symptoms. I'm also your height, my highest weight was 325. I weighed 285 at surgery. I'm now 238 lbs. My heart truly goes out to you, as I can identify with a few minor symptoms. I am definitely in prayer for you that this turns around!!!! With God all things are possible. Continue closely with your new doctor, get those Protein shakes in. It will take a while for your body to recognize that it's healing. Stay strong!!!! Dawnie_doo

I had the bypass. I noticed it once I started eating solid foods...maybe about 6 days in. I was also struggling to get in fluids at the time. So that increased my chances Smh Essentially the elevated levels of sugar and fat in your system are dumped into your blood stream. How that demonstrates itself is different in everyone. If I wasn't dehydrated at the time I wonder if I would've felt it at all. Dawnie_doo

Yup! That's what several people told me. Mine actually got heavier. Those hormones! Lol Dawnie_doo

Such a huge difference in 5 years!!! I went from 293 my highest weight in 2011 to currently being 4 lbs away from what I weighed in 12th grade at 248 (I was always plump Lol). It's amazing what changes you'll make when you finally accept who you are!!! Dawnie_doo

Instragram and "coming out of the closet"
Dawnie Doo replied to Cervidae's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm sending a request! Dawnie_doo -
Hello everyone!!!! Long story short...even though I had a few minor hiccups, I would do this all over again!!!!! I feel amazing!!!! On stalling...I'm 2 months post op. I stayed the same weight for 2 weeks...dropped 3 lbs, and today 3 more. Lol It's so strange. Trust me, don't get frustrated. Just continue to do what's necessary and move forward! The weight will come off! Get that movement in, Protein up, and FLUIDS are a must!!! Perfect segway to dumping. I noticed that dumping affects me with heart palpitations or advanced beats. Sounds more scary than it is. I didn't even realize I was dumping until the doctor told me so. They said I'm fine. I noticed that avoiding grease and sugar, even naturally occurring sugar...and carbs helps. But what helps the most is drinking WATER!!!! It's very easy to get dehydrated, and that increases your chances of dumping, even from natural fats in chicken or fish (yes that happened to me). With all that said, I'm doing great!!!! I'm in the gym and walking outside about 5 days/week. Highest weight 325, start weight 293, surgery weight 285, current weight 247. 40 lbs in 2 months...not bad at all! Dawnie_doo

Haven't lost any weight in a week
Dawnie Doo replied to Andre08's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't get discouraged...it happened to me. It will go really slow, and then all of a sudden I'll lose 3 lbs in one day. When I started advancing in the levels it really slowed...it's to be expected. Continue to walk and move about. Drink water/liquids often. It's bound to come off. Keep me posted. Beginning week 7 post op. Highest Weight: 325, Start Weight: 293, Surgery Weight: 285, Current Weight: 255 Dawnie_doo
