I didn't tell me mother for a whole year post-op. Do what you need to do for. Your not obligated to tell them.

Interestingly though, when I told my mom, she got a sleeve about 6 months later.

Hi Fluffy
if you go hunting, one of the most common threads you will find here is “I am x weeks post op and I feel no restriction!” It is REALLY common so do t sweat. I almost convinced myself that my surgeon did no bypass and only cut me open and sewed me up again!
It settles. You learn to read it - but it takes learning! The restriction for me generally acts more like “meh, that’s enough eating cos I have better things to do” - more like a disappearing food drive than a physical full/squeeze feeling. If I DO eat too much it shows 10 minutes later - pain, hot sweats and sometimes I fall asleep! So I try and avoid that!!
Meanwhile, you are a learner driver for that tummy, so just take it easy, stick to your plan - that is why they gave you a plan!

I’m 2 days shy of being 5 weeks post op. I’m constantly hungry, I eat Proteins all meals and I don’t feel restriction. I just mentally stop at 3-4 oz cause I’m not really sure how far I should take it?

Some hormones are stored in fat and just the quick change in can effort hormone levels. Maybe check with your MD about it. Maybe once your hormone levels stabilize your sex drive to return. Good luck!

I'm 1 year out. I am literally HALF of myself! And other weight I didn't need, but that's another story [emoji19]. I'd do it again 100x over!

Me! Started at 271 day of surgery. Got to 135 lbs. I’m 5’6” for reference 

I didn't do a pre-op diet. I started at 232, ended at 135; 97 lbs lost. It's seven years later and this morning I weighed 137. It is possible.

Here’s my advice: Date someone who didn’t know you before your weight loss! A man who only sees the NEW you. A SECURE guy who isn’t threatened by your attractiveness.

so very happy. at 10 months post op all the downside is way behind me and only the good parts are left to enjoy

Incredibly happy:) Wish I'd done it years ago.

I never knew one person in my apartment apartment complex until I got a dog, now I know someone in almost every building.

My husband and I went for a 3.5 hour car ride in the beautiful country area we live in. It was a great day, long talks and lots of positive thoughts and feelings. We talked about a ton of stuff and he told me he was still scared about my surgery but he now understand a whole lot more and realized I have to do it or I am going to not be around when we are old and gray in our double rocker watching the world go by. ( YES HE GETS IT).

We stopped at a small cafe for a late lunch. He ordered his normal cheeseburger, fries and soda , I ordered a grilled chicken breast with no oils , added spices and asked for a vegetable melody instead of mashed potato’s and gravy. I was told that I could not have any substitutions. Ok so I asked them to just put the veggies and meat on one plate and the mashed potato’s and gravy on a second plate. OMG you would have thought I was holding a gun to a babies head. I was told sorry but that is a substitution can’t do it. OK let’s try this a different way ( I am now getting a little prickly) I ask can you just put it all on one plate and bring me a to go container? I could but your still substituting veggies , WHAT i added them as a side I said . Now she has turned to my husband and said I think you need to help your wife understand we don’t do substitutions here. Chris is so dumb struck by this comment as am I I just looked at her and said cancel the whole order we’re leaving . I went to the rest room to just wash my hands and throw some cold Water on my over heated head , my hubby was still sitting at the table. I walked up to him and he handed me a paper folded in half . It was a order pad slip with a note when you want to be with a real woman give me a call she had signed it and left her number. My husband had written across it 3 times SORRY NO SUBSTATION’S. My wife is 10x times the woman you will ever be . And he signed it Very Happily Married . It made me cry very happy tears of joy.

I love that man so much.

I knew he was behind me every step of the way but that made me realize he isn’t behind me he is right beside me walking at the same speed as I am, and he will always be there with me.

It's been 8 weeks and still hate the feeling when I eat, I can almost feel the food hitting my pouch. It a little uncomfortable at first. Does anyone else experience this feeling?

Show someone a little kindness each day~Miss Tee

What change you got from 5 little slits,in your tum-tum, I want an incision maybe a foot long. That way the evil demons fly,out and the healing weight loss goodies get sutured in. 😁

I’m weighed in today and I’m proud and humble to say that I’m down 102lbs. It’s been the best 4 months ever. I’m so excited to continue to accomplish my goals. Thanks for being apart of my journey. Xoxo
