I just need to vent for a moment. Nearly everyone I've told about this surgery thinks they have some way to relate. What is it with people? If they've dieted, they think they know the same issues, or had another surgery, or ate baby food.
Has anyone else had this? I'm glad I limited who I've told. This is annoying.

My neighbor who is like a stick insect told me she lost 20kg using mind over matter and it's the same reason her boob's are perky because that's how she's told them to be! She wanted me to try it. I said first off your boob's are perky because you are 30 and have no kids second if I could have willed away 200+ lbs I would have done by now! The other ones who annoy me are the ones who say..well done on the weight-loss oh wait you had surgery didn't you? People who think having half your stomach removed or your intestinal tract rearranged is the easy way should try it! I mentally slap people who say it lol

I'm scheduled for a revision from lap band to gastric bypass on Dec. 12th. Would love to stay connected, but I'm also new on here and need to know how to go about staying connected.

I’ll be 62 in March so first looked into the over 60 group on this app but there wasn’t much going on there and the posts were pretty old. So if I behave myself can I stay in this group?!
I’m almost 9 years post-op. I had my RNY on 10/24/2008. Hey I was 51 then! The day before my surgery I weighed 243.6 pounds. I lost 110 and kept it all off for a few years until I started eating the wrong foods, grazing and drinking alcohol. It wasn’t long before I had gained back 60 pounds. I’ve gotten 10 pounds off but would like to lose maybe another 40.
I’m coming to this app looking for support from people who understand the struggles with regain. Have any of you regained some of the weight you’d lost? Are you having success losing again and if so how are you doing it?

Maybe 6 weeks is a short time, im 20 weeks post op rny and the results are starting to be noticeable for people, im down 70 lbs

Oh gosh! I love the idea! However, we were told in class that there is no proof, or not enough proof anyway that these actually would be absorbed through our skin.
everything in me screams, WELL WHY NOT??
But since I am not educated enough on the Patches, I made the decision to listen to the Doctor and RDs in my bariatric group.

Thank you for the information on the Patches. I will try them when i get under 180 pounds.

I've been thinking about doing the meal mentor, also. I'm glad you like it, I think I'm going to subscribe, also. My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 12th...I'm really trying to make sure I have everything organized before then.
Forty pounds!!! That's awesome!! Congratulations, and I can't wait to continue following your progress!

If you love chocolate, you just might enjoy the hot flavored chocolate they sell on this website. I have tried Amaretto, Raspberry and the hot chocolate with the mini marshmallows. This is what I have at work while others eat donuts, candy, pie, ect... There is ALWAYS food at our clinic in the break room. I can say I have not been tempted.

I am scheduled for surgery Dec 6th, so I have been busy buying all of my "supplies". I actually asked my NUT about the Patches before I bought my multi Vitamin and she said the patches were fine to use. I guess every program is different.

Congratulations! You can do it!

That’s great! Thanks for replying. How are you feeling? How is the weight loss going? I’m curious if vegans lose at the same rate as others.

Hello Roadrunner,
Congratulations on your surgery date.
I have not been able to find a food menu for the Proteinaholic book either. At first, we can't eat from his menu.
i have been able to get my Protein in. However, i have not been just plant based. No meats, but cottage cheese, yogurts ect. Since I'm just 7 weeks out, i copped out and ate dairy.
I do eat legumes, Peanut Butter, nuts now, so that helps.

I’m feel so good with all that weight goin, I’m so happy I made this decision, still 15 more pounds to my goal weight.
Bw- 301
SW- 289
Current- 190
goal weight-175
Total lost 110
Had gastric bypass Jan 24, 2017
110 pounds lost in 10 months

Thank you guys for responding, I don’t think I will have to drive at all before 6 days post op but on day 6 I may have to drive my boys to school (about 2 miles from home) and I wanted to see where everyone else was about that time.

7 days post op for me as well.

I’m so proud of where I came from. I’ve been so discouraged lately, then I saw this.

Thank you Sleeveinpops.

My first goal was to lose enough wait to make myself feel good and it has happened I got my surgery on 10/6 and I was 456.8 pounds and today I weighed myself and I am officially out of the 400's I have not seen a 3 in front of my weight since I was 13 or 14

I'm scheduled for the 19th as well, good luck to you!

Hi my name is Toni and I like in England UK, I finally have my surgery date after 2 years!
I go in at 11am on October 19th for gastric bypass, anyone else having surgery that day? ☺️

Hello family, One thing I have noticed is that I had my gastric bypass on may 25th I wait in at 306, I'm 5 foot 10, so I carry it well, I am now a total of 245 pounds once again. 5 10 athletic build and I feel great. Currently, I have been noticing left hip pain to the point that if I left my left hip up, I hear a little pop and lower back pain, but I noticed that my hips and my butt and my legs are so much smaller and I was wondering if anyone has had this problem..
