Don't apologize. You look great and should be proud of your progress!

HW: 280 SW: 256 CW: 194 I had a gastric bypass 1/16/17. It has been a struggle, but I'm trying my best to stay positive.

Thanks for the input

Lately I don't want protein drinks, eggs, yogurt...the only thing my stomach does well with is toast/ crackers but I know I'm not supposed to have too much of that. My fluids can be better. I try my best to drink water constantly but I often get dry mouth so I know it's not enough. As for BMs I'm either constipated or have the runs.

Hey everyone. I'm about 6 weeks post op. Over the past few days I've been having some serious food aversions. I'm sure I'm not eating enough, but all of a sudden, The thought of eating most foods makes me want to vomit. Has anyone else experienced this?

No worries. I lost about the same when I was 2 weeks post op. Try not to get discouraged. We get so caught up with comparing ourselves to others. Remember it's a personal journey and the weight will come off in time. 10 pounds in two weeks is great!!!

I'm about 22 days post op and I have the same thing. It's like a growl/gurgling situation. A friend told me it could be gas build up but I'm really not sure. You're definitely not alone though. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's scary for me too. My son will be two in April. My divorce was finalized in December and I had my bypass in January. Everything happened so close together. But you just have to stay positive and know that life will work out the way it's supposed to. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You are beautiful! Ignore the ignorant comments. People will always talk about you when that are miserable with their own lives. Keep doing what's best for you and block out the negativity. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I chose Bypass because I was a diabetic and had pretty bad acid reflux. I'm only 6 days post op and my sugar levels are totally normal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yup. Totally normal. I had my surgery Monday. Gained a few after I got home and then this morning I woke up and was 3 pounds lighter than my surgery date. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
