  1. How is your energy level? Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
  2. Still so tired? I'm sad about that. I'm sure they have checked your blood work and you're still sticking to your Protein intake. Are you possibly just simply not getting to bed early enough? Do you have sleep apnea? Wait, WHAT???? 88 lbs???? That's fantastic!!! I bet your cloths are falling off. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
  3. Hey, I was wondering if anyone was dealing with hair loss yet? I have not experienced any yet. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
  4. It's been a while since I've been on here. I hear the gallbladder giving you trouble after was is common. Did you doc put you on gallbladder medication immediately after surgery? I'm doing great!!! I love to shop now....it's just an unbelievable feeling to put on cloths and still need comfortable. I'm down 55 since surgery. I have tons of energy.

  5. I take liquid multi Vitamins from the Vitamin shop, orange flavor. I look forward to the taste and they have never made me nauseous Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
  6. sugar free popsicle....I would never eat Popsicles before surgery...I just didn't care for them. Now I eat them like crazy. It's another way to get your Fluid in and also keep your mouth active Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

  10. I'm doing great.....down 50lbs since surgery..... could be more if I would excersise but, honestly I was ok with it slowing down just a little. Bought a size 6 pair of shorts the other day and I was almost giddy walking through the store. I've started going out more and feel great!!!! I'm soooooooo happy I chose to have gastric bypass, I feel like I'm really living again. I admit, I worry how I will do a year out, 5 years out and so on..... I will have to get an excersise routine in place. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

  14. Have you gotten your labs done? I just did my three month work up and I'm so low on Iron I need infusions done...my hematologist says I'm probably experiencing so many bad symptoms Bcuz of this he said ppl really have no clue how severe anemia can affect you...I hope this subsides for you Sent from my iPhone using BariatricPal No wonder you're so tired...poor thing.

  18. Welcome....you're in for such a treat...I'm in aw of this journey I'm on. I had gastric bypass 3 months ago, started at 224...surgery weight 207 and this morning 160!!!!! I'm pinching myself, making sure this is not a dream. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
  19. Just a little...not at all what I was expecting. It was only one glass but I thought I would get a buzz from that. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
  20. Fyi- had my first drink of alcohol last night (3 months RNY post-op) red dry wine. Before surgery I was a wino lol. You know, it was a little disappointing.... I was expecting it to hit the spot and more. But to be honest I'm glad it didn't I don't need those extra calories Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
  21. I didn't worry about too many things prior to surgery but losing too much weight was a concern of mine. I'm getting close to my goal and wondered what I am going to do different in order to stop losing. I'm never hungry, I eat because I'm suppose to and I eat until I'm full.... I have not tried anything really but meat...a little veggies and a little fruit. I know they say our hunger and cravings will eventually kick back in. I think I read between 6 months to a year...does that sound right? I'm actually setting at docs office right now for a check up...im gonna ask what approach I take to stop losing and when the heck I can have a glass of wine...lol. at this point, I would settle for a thimble full. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App OH, can you ask about pop corn? i keep forgetting to ask my doctor when i see her..lol I just spoke to nurse practitioner and ask her if at 3 months after having RNY I could eat raisins, nuts, sunflower seeds and popcorn and her answer was yes, none of that will harm anything.... but it's possible you won't tolerate it but it's not going to hurt. And even if you don't tolerate it well right now it doesn't mean that later in life you won't be able to Part of me agrees that people are nicer to thinner people, but then I wonder if I'm just not putting off the same Vibe as I was when I was heavy.... maybe I'm coming across more approachable more confident more willing to talk to strangers, I don't know.

  23. I was last patient. Office was closing but nurse practitioner was going to call me back with the answer but I was in Kohl's shopping when she called and could not get good enough reception to answer the phone. So apparently we weren't supposed to know the answer to that popcorn question today Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
  24. Wait, I'm going back in....I'll see if she has time for one question. I'm curios too. We're you sleeved or gastric bypass (i should know this) Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
  25. She did say if she had wine in her office that she would pour me a glass lol. So I can try wine now!!!!! Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
