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

I had surgery on Monday! I've been struggling this week but today is a bit better. I look forward to being 3 months out. What's been the hardest part for you?

Great job!!!

Wow, why can't some ppl just offer some advice and not also be annoying!

1200 calories sounds about right to me, depending on how much you weigh now and how fast you want to lose. 800, in my opinion, would be too low, you don't want to mess with you metabolism.
Also, if your a year out, the weight loss will slow but keep doing what your doing!!

Ugh, I am flying from AZ to Chi in exactly one month, this isn't something I am looking forward to dealing with at the airport. I am 3 days shy of my 3 months post op and only have a little saggy skin in the lower belly area...trying to keep myself fit while I loose the weight bc I'm traveling for my wedding!! Let's hope I can make it through the TSA checks!!

I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and can't wait for my trip in October.

What a life changer. I love every bit of this process and my new lifestyle. Surgery went great and no complications, my energy high the whole time. So far no Hair loss.
     

You look awesome! Congrats!

Five months post-op. HW - 324, CW - 214, GW - 274
  

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 started this journey after my best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer at 35, my husbands grandfather passed, I was teach at a school where we had a school shooter, my grandfather passed and there morning we woke up after his funeral my husbands grandmother had passed all within 6 months. I have 10 nieces and nephews under the age of 10 and I had too much going for me not to get healthy. I had my first consultation in August and then surgery on January 6th. I am amazed at how well I feel, how much energy I have and that I am now training for a 5k! I have zero regrets about my decision to take back my life and learn to eat to live instead of living to eat. Hw: 342
Sw: 290
Cw: 220

I'm almost 3 months too (I'm 11 weeks), and I am down 57 pounds since the start of this, and 40 pounds since my surgery date. I just came out of a pretty rough three week stall, but I appear to have come out of it. I was stuck at 202 for so long, and I'm finally in ONEderland. I haven't been at this weight since middle school! 40 more pounds to go to reach my goal!
Starting Weight: 250
Surgery Weight: 233
Current Weight: 193

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

I'm glad I like eggs! Yes so many people say that their tastes have changed after surgery. It's so weird. I liked the sugar free hello before surgery and now I don't like it. I could take lactaid pills at some point for my lactose issues but right now I can't take pills. I'm only taking crushed or opened pills in applesauce. Once I'm past my 4 weeks I feel things will be a bit easier.

Seems like everyone has a different plan depending on what hospital. I am following my doctors orders. I've been on puréed foods since I left the hospital.
