frozengrapes got a reaction from Tracyringo in Hate bypass
I had the RNY about 7 months ago for the same exact reason, the GERD was unbarable. I also gained a little weight back from eating carbs to try and stop the burning. I lost about 25 lbs pretty quickly after surgery, but havent lost a lb in the last 3 months. I am happy with my loss and am about the same weight i was at lowest with sleeve. Sometimes I miss me sleeve because the full feeling just isnt the same. Sometimes I think i eat a bit more because I dont have it. But in reality I think im eating about the same.

frozengrapes got a reaction from Tracyringo in Reflux remains after revision 😩
I had surgery a few days after you , for similar reasons. I am also having some symptoms I take the meds and they help but WTF?

Same surgery date and have only lost 15! I do not have a lot to lose so I get it, I just thought it would be more when eating 750 high Protein, low fat, low sugar diet. And If I cant lose on a post diet, diet, then what? And yes I exercise.
On a positive note I have had normal blood sugar and off all meds since my first surgery. In 4 years with the sleeve was able to keep most of the weight off.

frozengrapes got a reaction from JessLess in Forced to do Bypass
I just had a revision on 3/9
I had a sleeve 8/2016. I lost 50 lbs. I had GERD before the sleeve but not too bad. The first 2 years after sleeve my GERD was nearly gone. BUT then it came back with a vengeance. It was awful, waking from sleep with bile in my throat, burning all day everyday, and the tightness in my chest. Top that off with a hernia and a fold in my sleeve. I started gaining weight back because crackers and bread were the only thing that made me feel better.My Dr gave me 2 choices, live with it, or do revision.
I lived with it for about 8 more months and could no longer do it. I was honestly afraid to do another surgery.
I am in week 6.5 post surgery, and am very disappointed at my weight loss so far. I lost 13 lbs, the first 3 weeks and only 1-3 the next 3 weeks. I'm only eating 700 cal a day an losing nothing. AND I have had days where I have some GERD. I am taking my meds and they help but I thought I would have none.
The biggest issue I have is the fear that I feel totally different. With my sleeve I felt full really quickly and knew when I was full. So far I feel like I can eat more, I haven't, but I feel like I will be able to. I don't get the same feeling.
My thought was that at least I'll lost weight after doing this again, but it doesn't seem like that will be happening.

I agree, not having the restriction makes it a lot more difficult. I'm eating less, excercising more, and the weight isn't coming off at all like it did. My metabolism hasn't change, and im more hungry than I was after sleeve. Self control isn't a problem right now, but I know if I do not lose weight it will become a problem.

The bypass does alot more than the sleeve ever could...
Please explain what exactly more does it do?

frozengrapes got a reaction from DesperateEC in Hate bypass
That was my weight loss about the 6 month post sleeve weight, which is when I stopped posting. I lost another 10 lbs , then gained about 10 back in the last year once my GERD got really bad. Almost 55 lbs, gained back 10, now lost 15. So, all and all 5 lbs less then before GERD. Original BMI 35.5

Please don't compare the weight loss rate of a man to the weight loss rate of a woman. You're setting yourself up for disappointment.

frozengrapes got a reaction from dancielady in First lie!
A few people know. My husband and 1 of my children, a handful of friends, and 1 co worker, and 1 sister. My father, other sisters and 2 of my kids do not know. Everyone else thinks it was hernia surgery (which I did have on my diaphragm)
The diet I am on is for my hernia as far as they are concerned.

frozengrapes got a reaction from gustavio in 3 week stall?
My 3 week stall is on week 4..../...no loss for 2 weeks...im fed up. I'm getting all my Protein and following the diet to a T, but nothing. It is so frustrating and depressing.
I hope we both see some movement soon.

@@frozengrapes You have a lower BMI than many of us - so your weight loss may be slower. You'll get there though - just stay strong and stick with the plan!!!!

frozengrapes got a reaction from KristenLe in So depressed, I almost cried in Dr's office.
He told me Im doing well and not to worry about it. He told me the loss will be like steps and landings, not like a slide.
Ive heard of the 3 week stall, but technically its been week 2 and 3 stall for me. I feel like im doing so well, not 1 cheat and doing everything possible and NOTHING. It will take a few days to get rid if the funk and the feeling that Ive wasted my time.

I will be going back to work tomorrow, exactly 2 weeks from date of surgery.
I hope I have enough energy to make it through the day. Hope I can get all my liquids in. Hope I have no bathroom issues.
Hope people don't ask me what surgery I had.
You all have been great these last two weeks.
