No I haven’t- and about 8 weeks out. That sounds weird HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 197 GW 160

My husband wanted me to do the gym and diet thing again with more devotion etc. when I explained my reasons to him- mostly around self esteem or how I feel physically or medical issues etc.... he supported me. I may have said “i know you don’t necessarily agree with it but I’m asking you to support me” HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 197 GW 160

Congrats! I’m about 8 weeks out . You’ll continue to lose bc you should be eating smaller amounts and mostly proteins for the next month Keep it up! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 197 GW 160

Hi! What is the Bariatric app called? I’ve been using the MyPlate app HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 197 GW 160

I would also take a look in these forums... I notice a lot of people doing the bypass after sleeve or band. Not sure why HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 197 GW 160

I chose Gastric Bypass . The maximum weight loss opportunity for me- and no reflux. I know you can lose more with bypass . The surgery was super - only 5 very small incisions on belly (about 3/4 of an inch each). Recovery was fast other than tenderness ok belly and sleeping if you’re a side sleeper. Haven’t really had dumping and you can control that by following directions of eating slow and small amounts. My surgery was dec 20th and down almost 40 . Yay me!

Thanks! You’ll get there! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 197 GW 160

Congrats! Go you! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 198 GW 160

I had some intense heart burn type pain for about an hour ... but it goes away- likely just gas from surgery. Slept for a solid amount of time. Near no pain at all (had laparoscopic bypass), only a bit when sleeping bc i couldn’t sleep on side yet. Movement was fine and back to work easily within a week and that was only to get eating habits in line Best decision ever— no regrets and nothing too big to worry about at all HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 198 GW 160

Working for me so far! (I think lol). Told them started an exercise routine and upped protein— cut out sugar, carbs etc Weight comes off pretty fast . I’m about 8 weeks out and down about 38 lbs without exercise HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 198 GW 160

Bypass on dec 20th... super happy on my decision! Went to BMC- Dr Pernar HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 199 GW 160

My full feeling (i think??) is a chest type pain . I’m having a hard time slowing down too. Although that pain tells me when I’m eating too fast t too much at once! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 199 GW 160

Congrats! Best decision. Ever. I didn’t do the unflavored protein- i did the premiere shakes ... and eventually shredded canned chicken (it’s like tuna consistency) and scrambled egg whites , cheese stick and Greek yogurts for protein Didn’t do compression socks— hospital was really fast!

I didn’t tell anyone but my husband so I get it! Everyone else thinks I am dieting and exercising… Technically not lying ? HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 199 GW 160

I had nearly no pain after the first couple of hours after surgery but that was really bad gas pain in the chest HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 199 GW 160

Good luck! Keep us updated HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 199 GW 160

Relief! Thanks!! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 199 GW 160

Good luck! Let me know how it goes! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 199 GW 160

I had gastric bypass and no nausea! Also had my reflux disappear HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 199 GW 160

Or how about a scrambled egg? HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 199 GW 160

Canned chicken did it for me—- looks like shredded tuna! Add a little mayo HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 199 GW 160

I am about the same time after surgery… I am eating about 4 ounces three Times a day..... so sounds about right! I’m just now starting to feel hungry when I get up in the morning HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 199 GW 160

Yay ! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 199 GW 160

I thought it was only me haha! My left hip gets numb and itchy when I sleeep!! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 199 GW 160
