  1. Hi! I had fatty liver and I follow up the pre op diet and even with the fatty liver I had the bypass.My surgery was fast less than an hour and the doctor told me that when you follow all the instructions is not a problem but if not there are cases that can not be done laparoscopically but open! Good luck!
  2. Yes, GwennyPenny I agree each time I went to the Hospital I regained weight. This last few days I was trying to eat protein all day and I went to 50 grams and it really help because I lost a pound! And after 4 days 3 pounds! Yeeeahhh!
  3. Yes I did but I had several problems eating protein in the first 2 months. I could not eat any then I supplement with liquid protein but even with that I had problems to drink eat and keep it in my stomach.I had several exams and went to the emergency room twice and even been hospitalized once.Now I am eating 40 grams of protein that I know is low for other people but it is a lot of effort for me! I will continue trying to eat more protein and maybe the stall will finish!
  4. Hi! I know i need more protein but even at 3 months post I can not tolerate more! When i tried I vomit! I was checked and I am ok but I am getting more protein each day! I am trying to be patient and get more protein as I can. thanks
  5. Thanks for answering! I am following the program but I was constipated too and went to the ER and gain some weight without eating anything!,, I think it was something that they put on my IV that has a lot of proteins and vitamins ( they call it the bariatric fluid) . I will be more patient!!! Thanks
  6. I had my surgery on August 14,2017 and my weight was 235. At my second month check up I was 200. I just begin with solid foods 2 weeks ago.My weight at my 3rd month check was 195... (no more weight lost!!!! I am not complaining about how much I loose because my hw was 250 and now I am 195 but I need help to go out of the stall.I am eating only 30 gr of protein a day and around 36 to 40 ounces of water . Thanks

    So. Much. Water!

    I have the same problem! I tried to drink a lot of water but I can only drink about 40 punces a day and I my surgery was 8/14/2017. This week I decided to have a bottle of water or crystal light near me all the time to see if I can do it better...and I can!! My intake go to almost 60 ounces! But I was drinking little sips all day! I stop only 45 minutes before meals to be able to eat!!!
  8. I was the same weight when I saw the surgeon for the first time and now I just lost 68 pounds too!!
  9. Hi! Yes i was 235 on my surgery date(august 14,2017). I had a lot of issues too: diabetes, barrett, reflux, sleep apnea...and now I did not need any pills for diabetes, no reflux and I can sleep without my cpap. Of course my weight is better now too. i am 195 pounds now and I did not have 3 months yet.
  10. I had the same issue! My family doctor recommend the bypass , my surgeon too but my gastroenterologist said that the surgery was not for me!!! And if I really was going to get it was better to go for the sleeve! i had to see by myself what where the positives outcomes and the negatives!!! I have diabetes , need to lose weight, Barrett and cholesterol... I decided to go for the bypass. Why? Because I can stop having pills for all and if my barrett begins to show cancer ...I still have my stomach to repare my esophagus!!!! Now 2 months later I have no cholesterol, no diabetic pills and no more acid reflux and I loose 50 pounds!!! And if you really want to lose weight this is not the easy way!!! You have to learn to eat healthy with the sleeve or the bypass!!! If you learn and Follow the rules you will be ok. Good luck!!!
