Hello! I’m doing ok, it’s up and down but I’m feeling better as I lose pounds. It never seems fast enough but I keep that in perspective! How are you doing?

I am! Are you still around?

I had it on 7/6, how is everyone else doing?

I had the sleeve in 2010 and 7 years later just had (six weeks ago and a cpl days) the revision to bypass (as well as removal of my gallbladder). I've already lost quite a bit of weight (over 40 lbs now). It wasn't for medical issues the sleeve didnt work as much as I failed the sleeve by not taking better care of myself. My sleeve had not stretched out terribly bad but I was at my presurgery weight from 2010 and disgusted with myself. I needed a tool to help me get on track and I also have had four years (and ongoing still) of therapy to help me deal with the underlying issues of how I got where I am today. I am at the struggle point of getting enough water and protein while cautiously trying to reintroduce foods. It has been much harder physically this time but it's also a much bigger procedure. I'll help anyway I can!

Hey there!! I'm doing ok, it's definitely a struggle to get all the protein and hydration I need and I've been super weary of trying to introduce soft solids for fear of dumping syndrome. I'm about 45 minutes SW of FW but I used to live in Grapevine a few years ago so I've got a good idea of where you're at. How are you doing?

I'm just outside of Fort Worth, had surgery 7/6 and am new to the group. Would love to have someone to talk to as well if you are able.
