So I weighed 380 and my wife is like 300 pounds.Now i’m 167 pounds.She really wasn’t supportive of my surgery.She was making comments about me calling me skin and bones man.She also bankrupted our family spending over 5000 dollars on a video game because I lost weight.She has no interest in me emotionally or physically.I am only posting a pic to get honest feedback.Believe me I can handle it.She has made me feel like I’m very unattractive even though I think I look ok.I have decided to divorce her because I can’t take getting crapped on anymore?I don’t regret my surgery even though I’m getting divorced.I hate to say it but she really made makes questions if I am hideous now.I can handle blunt truth.Have any of you had issues after a bypass too or other weight loss tool?

RNY 2 nights 3 days, Follow up 2 weeks

Not yet. I've only had a few sips. My surgeon requested I not drink any until at least a year as they are worried about transfer addiction. (food -> alcohol). You may want to see someone before it gets out of control.

This is really great to hear. I'm 4 weeks post, and have been wondering the same thing. To be honest, last night I'm pretty sure i experienced my first full sensation. Like one of the posters said, it felt real easy. Like my brain said just STOP! I was good after that.

I make a Greek chicken salad with:
chicken breast
Greek yogurt
Red onion
Cucumber
Tomatoes
Greek olives
Feta cheese
It is super high Protein and delicious. I also make a curry chicken salad Silat to yours except I add red onion, celery, and golden raisins. I love so high Protein chicken salad and eat it all the time

I can start a secret FB group. How many would be interested?

Greetings
Had surgery May 30th at 8:00am. I was home May 31st by 7:00pm.

I'm sending a friends request also. My surgery will be the month of June, I just don't have exact date yet

Hi guys
I have my consultation on Monday and my dietician on 30 May then surgery for Bypass on 13 June.
I have been sent a lot of information to read but I wondered whether you can give me any advice.
I have received information about the diet before the surgery but I wondered what people opted for in terms of what plan to follow - Meal Replacements or followed the meal plans?
If you followed Meal Replacement what shakes did you have and are these what you continued having after? What's best and where to buy them from?
Same question for after surgery - what Protein Shakes did you get and from where?
Did you also take any Vitamins if so which ones?
Will all this be explained in my consultation with my dietician and will they give me any recommendations?
What does the initial consultation with the surgery entail ? You you have tests done or do they just talk you through the procedure ?
Any further information would be greatly appreciated xxx

Sounds like your friends are pushing and being judgmental about a major life decision.

ONLY YOU know when your ready and tbh, weight loss may help increase fertility so tell them to shove it in a pipe and smoke it.

Well, I finally can feel comfortable enough with my loopiness to post on here. I did want to share some things I was not expecting:
It hurts worse than a c-section
I only had 5 incisions - not 7
Water and ice taste sweet, like sugar is added
SF popsicles and Jello are so sweet it almost burns the back of my throat
broth tastes like overly salty MIso Soup and I used my cup of warm water given for tea to water down the broth so it was somewhat enjoyable.
Breathing hurts, but the more deep breathes you do, the less gas pain you feel in your shoulders. Mine went away a few hours after surgery.
Walking does help relieve gas. For me it was burping. Haven't had it go out the other way yet.
Getting water down is no problem. I've already gone through 100 ounces today. I was a very big water drinker before anyway, drinking a gallon and a half a day.
I have never had so many hiccups as I do here. If I even talk or breathe a certain way, I get a long bout of hiccups. It's painful.
I feel a tightness in my chest/ neck when I'm satisfied and very uncomfortable stomach when I push it. So far it's liquids only but I still feel it.
sleeping is the only thing I have wanted to do. I'll wake up, have water, take pain meds (which are glorious) walk the halls and come back to fall asleep in a chair.
I have only used my pillow, chapstick, travel lotion, and robe. The robe is unnecessary for me but I brought it so I decided to use it.
Surround yourself with pillows even when sitting. I have 3 pillows on me at all times if I'm sitting and it is wonderful. Comfortable with just the right amount of pressure. Plus I can adjust them to support my face for sleeping.
The first thing I did when I was able to walk was go to the bathroom and use a washcloth to wipe down my face arms and body. Then I brushed my teeth and hair. I wiped myself down every time I went to the bathroom the first 24 hours.
Know your nurses. My night nurse is a rockstar. He's funny and quick to make sure I have what I need before I need it. My day nurse leaves little to be desired. I've learned to ask for meds 30 minutes before I badly need them. If I ask when I badly need them, I won't get them for 30 minutes. If you absolutely have zero pain, awesome. I got this surgery because I was tired of trying to be stronger for everyone else and I'm taking meds to get a break from that. I don't need to tough this one out.
Know when you're tired and let yourself sleep. My eyes literally start getting double vision when I'm tired and I have to close one eye to be able to see what I'm typing. It took me 3 naps to get through this post.

Just wanted to note my 3 month progress, today I am 3 months pre op, gastric by pass, I'm down 60 pounds as of today and pretty proud about that, 66 more pounds to my goal weight!
Surgery weight 301
Todays weight 241
Goal weight 175

Did you not have to do a preop liver shrink diet?
I almost walked out while waiting for surgery. It got delayed and although I'm no superstitious in the least I decided it was a sign and we should leave and go to Waffle House. I started crying and freaking out. They came right when I was in peak panic and got me. I had the surgery and woke up so happy. Don't allow nerves to rob you of your dreams.

We have a FB secret group going for June.

This is the day I'm hoping for. My doctor only performs bypasses on Thursdays.

June 22nd [emoji3]

June 22 is mine too!!!
