Everything seems to be going good. I’m grateful for all of you being here and sharing your experiences. I really feel so much better physically, walking stairs with no pain, sleeping better and so much energy. If there is a downside, I have problems with eating chicken. It doesn’t matter how it’s cooked, it has to be chopped into tiny bites before I chew it to paste, and then sometimes it still gets stuck on its way down. I don’t seem to have that problem with any other Protein. That being said, I really don’t have cravings or feel hungry yet. I fuel my body with protein and veggies and a piece of fruit a day. Have gone low carb, after figuring out that when I eat carbs, my joints become inflamed and I retain Fluid.< /p>

3 1/2 months post surgery. I’m so amazed at how great I feel after losing 100 lbs. No more struggling to walk up stairs. I can walk without tiring or having pain. I’m even riding a motorcycle again. I feel like I’ve been given a second chance at enjoying life to it’s fullest. It is nice to have a place where we all understand how difficult this journey can be. I’m cheering for everyone here. We can do it!

It looks like everyone is doing great! I haven't weighed myself since the end of March because I found myself obsessing if I didn't lose. I'd constantly think about what I should be doing differently, researching different diets that may help, etc. Finally I had to remind myself that I just had the majority of my stomach removed and that I just need to follow the plan I was given and trust it. I did set reminders for me to eat because I haven't been good about eating 3 meals a day. I've gone down 2 sizes so far but am still resisting getting on that scale even though it calls to me every. single. morning! lol

So glad that things are evening out for you. I’m finding that my body is taking awhile to adjust to it’s redesigned engine. I just started non puréed Proteins a couple of days ago, and am finding it harder than ever to get enough fluids because I feel fuller for longer. Every day is a learning experience post surgery.

My Doctor advised not to get on the scales for the week after surgery. They pump so much Fluid into you after surgery and you have a lot of swelling as well. It is normal to come out of the hospital weighing more. It should come off pretty quickly.

Hi all, had my Gastric Bypass yesterday at 8:30 a.m. went really well. No pain except where the drain is (it will be taken out this morning before they release me). The hardest part was them trying to take blood for labs this morning) The best part, a healthier life to look forward to.
Good luck to everyone already recovering this month and all of you that still awaiting your surgery.

My date is February 12th. So I’m on day 11 of my two week pre-op liquid diet. I went caffeine free two months ago, because I knew it would be hard to do. I’ve been drinking the heck out of caffeine free herbal tea. So far I haven’t had any strong cravings and haven’t felt hungry. I’m using Premier Protein and also Isopure powder (I add PB2 powder or cinnamon or cardamom or sugar free Davinci or Torani Syrup for variety) My broth is Better Than brand roasted chicken and roasted beef. I also use sugar free drink liquid additives from Tang and Kool-Aid (my favorites are Orange pineapple Tang and Blue Raspberry Kool-Aid) A couple of things that have really helped me 1. Giving up television (8 out of 10 ads are likely to be food) I now watch programs on Netflix or Hulu 2. Aromatherapy I splurged and bought perfume that I enjoy wearing to keep a little spritz on my wrist so if I smell food I can distract myself by sniffing my wrist (caution, my family and coworkers think I’ve gone a bit daff LOL).
Best of Luck to everyone. We can do this!
little note: I’ve lost 37lbs in 4 months (10 of it in the last 11 days)

Surgery Date February 20th!

So proud of your weight loss. I liked your ideas and plan to remember them as i get closer to my own surgery. At this point it looks like early-mid March for my own RnY, doubtful it will be any sooner. I have 1 more test, not normally required by my surgeon's office. All my other prerequirements were done the 16th of last month. I want an official date so I can plan what i need, lay in Protein Shakes etc. I'll remember to pray for you on the 12th.
