I'm sorry I saw this comment. It's going pretty well I think. I'm getting used to the new eating style and I can now exercise more. I lost 38 lbs the first month and the second month 22. I'm starting my 3 rd month and I see my doctors on the 31st of October so far no issues or complications... How have you been??

Make sure you are not drinking too much at one time. I remember thinking I was drinking a tiny bit but I really wasn't. I got a shot glass and would sip out of that. That stopped my pain. I also agree with the temperature.

You look so Amazing! You already know you are such an inspiration to me because our starting stats are so similar. I'm only a month out and reading your story makes me feel like I 100% made the right choice. Good luck on continuing your healthy happy journey you will do amazing!

Thanks everyone!!

Cervidae WOW 223 lbs lost in a little short of a year is amazing! I'm so happy to find someone who has the same height and starting weight as me! It makes me feel like its so possible. At times I would think that my starting weight is just so high that getting to 200 lbs isn't even possible

You are in my thoughts! I am also 5 days post op so just hang in there! You have to stay Positive!! I am glad you contacted your doctor that's what he is there for! just try to relax and put your feet up.. that's what I am doing. Just message me if you would like to talk about our post op progress

Hello! My name is Jackie I am 27 I started my Journey on April 1st 2016 at my highest weight of 442 lbs. I had my Gastric Bypass with a packed wound on July 26th 2016 with my weight being 400 lbs. After my 3 day hospital stay I came home and weighed in at 410 lbs Although this made me sad I knew it was due to all of the added gas and swelling. I am 5 days post op today and my weight is 397 lbs. I wanted to join this community to see how others manage all of these new changes and to share my own as well as it serving as a sort of... diary. Hopefully I can communicate with people who want the same. I'd love to share any info I might have that someone needs and I am open to any questions! I wish everyone the best on their new life!
