Surgery date 9/9/16. 305lbs at surgery date 230lbs today. I have dropped my BP and blood sugar. My back and leg pain is gone. I am no longer sick all the time and made it through Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. I eat out regularly and have enjoyed wine and beer in very small amounts.
It definitely gets better.

Hey there -- this is tough -- but I agree with Little Bill and others ... this feeling that you can't control yourself with food right after surgery is a path to destruction for your surgery -- and for your own mental health. I am not a mental health professional (and I don't play one on TV), and even if I were, this would not be the right format to try to work out what is going on. If you had surgery locally, ask your team if they can recommend a psychologist whose expertise is food issues. And if they don't have anyone to recommend, or you went out of the country -- google it in your area. From a physical perspective, this is super dangerous. But for your own positive mental health in the future -- it is also dangerous. Truly -- good luck.

That's 6 pounds a week. That's a lot of weight. A lot. It will start again.

I legit have my own version like this that I sang to my students before I left for surgery. They knew I was on liquids, and I joked about them being good, or I might eat one of them. This makes me laugh! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

I can truly laugh because she cheated on me and several guys after me. She obviously isn't happy with her life and I have been happily married almost 9 years. I pity her actually.

I haven't seen my ex fiance in about 10 years. She used to always wear a size 7 to 8 pants and a medium top. She was actually pretty darn attractive. I ran into her sister at Walmart. I stopped and said hi to her sister and asked how she was doing. It turns out she was standing right next to her sister and was probably close to 300 pounds. Needless to say my ex yelled at me and called me lots of colorful names. She then stormed off into Walmart and her sister turned to me and said you look damn good. Boy am I glad I got rid of her! I could care less about her physical appearance but her lovely attitude certainly isn't missed!

Hey guys.

I just wanted to thank you all for the helpful links, tips and advice that this forum provided pre and post op. It was thanks to the testimony of many of you that I decided to get the surgery.

I was sleeved on Nov. 7th and as of this day have lost a total of 51.5 lbs (starting weight was 352 and currently 300.5) Cant wait to put off more!

Thanks again!

Hi my name is Rebecca and I'm on my way to a healthier life! So I am a 46 year old mother of 4 grown children (amazing children ) I have suffered from bipolar depression, ptsd, anxiety with panic attacks, and borderline personality for many years. As a result I have been on numerous medications that have caused me to gain significant weight, as well as having used food as my "comfort" food... That was the beginning of a life long struggle with weight. This past two years I have had a stroke and a mini stroke, my left knee has been totally replaced twice and is still very unstable so exercise is virtually impossible and my weight reached an all time high of 383lbs! In August I decided to take control and regain my life back.. Starting in September I met with the Bariatric team and have since lost 34bs 4oz and now have a surgery date for January 25th ...I must admit that as excited as I am about my new healthier lifestyle I am also very very nervous and constantly anxious about the "unknown". I have sleep apnea, high blood pressure, Fibromyalgia, and other health issues that can only be improved with the gastric bypass so I have weighed the pros and cons of it all and feel this may be my last chance of ever getting back to the "healthy Rebecca" that I need to be for myself, my husband, my children, and my precious grandson.
