I originally didn't want to tell anyone about my surgery but I decided to choose family and friends to tell. I have had 100 percent support from everyone. People will surprise you. I'm now 6 months out and everyone now knows I had gastric bypass surgery. I didn't think I would get to this point but it feels good that people know. Too many people had so many questions. So now it's out there. I actually just feel good about it. I have only had one guy who gave me negative support and he's not in my life anymore. So many people will be so happy for you and that you decided to get healthy for yourself and your family. Good luck to you!

I hear ya ... I'm not too happy. I knew it was going to happen but didn't realize how bad it could get.

I'm 6 months out and having the same problem. I take my vitamins and biotin. I heard it can last 3-6 months. It sucks for sure I wish mine would stop also.

I'm almost 6 months out from gastric bypass surgery. I've lost 85lbs so far but feeling frustrated with my latest stall. I haven't lost any weight for 3 weeks and have gone up 2lbs. I'm exercising and staying around 1200 calories a day. Is this normal? I still want to lose 30lbs so I'm feeling frustrated. I thought I would continue losing for one year. Any thoughts? Have others experienced the same?

Same just happened to me. I flew from Chicago to Arizona no problem because I didn't get picked to do the full body scan. When we flew Arizona to Chicago I was picked to do a full body scan. He showed me the scan and yes it shows a bunch of yellow spots all over belly and inner thigh area. They had to do a pat down. I didn't say anything and just let her do her job but it kinda sucks. I've only lost 65lbs but I have extra skin on my inner thighs. It does makes you feel weird to have a pat down. I guess it's something we have to be prepared for every time we fly unless we have plastic surgery.

Thank you! You too!

At 12 weeks out from surgery. Down 60lbs and feeling good.

You look awesome! Congrats!

What a great feeling to fly for the first time and I actually fit in the seat!!! I've lost almost 60lbs since the last time I flew. The seatbelt fit and I was comfortable during the flight! I had surgery 3/13/17 and these are the moments I have been waiting for!

I'm 11 weeks out and down 56lbs. Having cravings for bad foods but staying on track.

I love eggs thank goodness. I make scrambled eggs with lactose free cottage cheese every morning. I'm so happy I tolerated them. I also like them hard boiled and mashed with light mayo.

BBQ sauce sounds good. I'll have to look for that. Thank you for the ideas. I wish I ate fish but I don't.

I'm willing to try things.

I'll have to try gravy. I have been using mayo.

Yes I am nervous about chopped for sure. I will be taking it slow and doing a lot of chewing! Learning to eat slow is a challenge for me especially cause I enjoy my food hot. It's all a learning experience right now.
