I waited five months when I felt I had the strength to exercise. Eating so few calories makes you weak, so you need to let your body catch up. I started a full body workout, three days per week. Full cardio and weight training. It is a definite must to weight train so your muscles build to jump start your metabolism. It is definitely working for me. I've gone from 49% body fat to 32% in these months and have lost 88lbs of fat and gained 20lbs of lean muscle. I'm down 5 shirt/pants sizes too. Wouldn't have happened without the gym.

My visit to the scale this morning revealed that I am at 50lbs down since I started this journey in April of this year. 31lbs lost since liquid pre-op and 20lbs since surgery on 10/26/2016. This feels so major to me that I just had to share it!

I do not perceive that it had any adverse reaction on my marriage. I am 3 years post-op RNY gastric bypass and I have been married for over 40 years.
I think it had a positive impact because it put many of my health issues in remission, so I will live longer and also more capable of household chores. My wife doesn't want to be left alone if I passed early.
From what I read, some individuals experience chaotic emotions after surgery because as the fat cells dissolve they release chemicals and hormones that are stored within. Therefore they experience a hormonal flush. This generally dies down once they reach the maintenance phase. It also appears that many individuals can become more sexually active after weight loss and also more fertile.

Take Miralax. Put in on Cristal Light or any other flavored drink. 8oz. You will go the next day. Sent from my SM-G920T1 using the BariatricPal App

Hey guys...it has been a while since I posted. Life has been great. I've actually become this fitness fanatic. I love working out now...never saw that coming. My RNY changed my life and I'm so grateful. Still have a ways to go but I'm so happy with my progress. Starting weight 519lbs...surgery weight 428lbs...current weight 262lbs[emoji123] 

Shouldn't be a problem. Some start taking all the Vitamins and Calcium right away.

@@Daniella5 I've been taking a multi, Calcium, Iron and Vitamin D since I came home, 2 days post-op. It shouldn't hurt you in any way.

I had mine on the 26th at 8am! First 2 days in the hospital were rough. I was discharged home on Friday morning which was the 28th. I've been off the narcotic pain medication since Monday. Each day is a struggle with getting Fluid and Protein in. I just want to chug a bottle of Water to quench my thirst.

Yes! I was pissed in the hosp and was like wtf? How am I able to do this? And the Dr looled at me like I was crazy. I researched it and also learned that our pouch is healing and the hunger ques and hormones are off. My sensation of fullness is diff now and hunger and indigestion and reflux get mixed up. But I felt freaking empty and starving. I thickened up my shakes and broths so I wouldn't go eat a damn burger! Eventually it got better but i wasn't prepared for feeling that hungry and felt tricked and like a greedy weirdo..turns out im not the only 1

@@Meggiesmom .. I need more reassurance. .. I am now 12 days post op.. on puréed diet and am still hungry!! I feel like every person I talk to says "I can't eat an egg.. I don't want to eat.. I'm never hungry" I am so scared that this is not working for me at all. !

I drove 5 days after no problems
Sent from my iPhone

As long as I wasn't taking the narcotic pain reliever, I was able to do it day 3 per my Surgeon, day 5 per my discharge papers so I split it and drove day 4. I felt good enough to drive. No dizziness no confusion, no uncoordination, no restrictions on movement in my neck arms feet and torso. But that's just me.

I came home on Wed and by Fri was driving. Can't really avoid it for long with 4 kids but I wasn't taking any narcotics during the day. Only took one pill before bed to help with soreness. Should add I felt completely normal and had no worries about my driving.
