Ok. Dr said I was rushing food. Back to liquids and puréed foods for me. Yuck! My stomach isn’t ready for the food yet.

I had my gastric bypass March 19th. Not a twin but pretty close!!

Hi Gaygirl. It can be scary. And truthfully when people ask you how you are they are expecting you to say fine. Unless you are in a forum like here. And really this surgery isn’t so bad!! It’s not so extreme. You can do it!!

Yep, Many of us here have had the 3 year mark gain.
I have the sleeve. I can eat more. Getting my weight back down is slow but can be done. Maintaining for me is fighting 10 pounds up and down the scale.
Some people do the pouch reset - Back on track program or going back to bariatric basics. (Logging, Protein goal, hydration and exercise)
I hope you find what works for you.

I have some understanding because the first 4 weeks post-op were hell for me. I had RNY on March 12 and it wasn't until last Monday, April 9th, that I began to start feeling like myself again. I felt quick to anger/impatience and there were times when I would just break down and cry. It took a little medical detective work, but between my doctors, we figured out that I wasn't absorbing the anti-depressant effectively. The psychiatrist changed the form of my medicine to a salt-tab style which just dissolves under the tongue. Then I realized I was mistakenly eating some deli meat and cheese thinking that it would count as pureed. My stomach revolted and I had no idea why. Once I learned that mistake and started eating "allowed" pureed food, well I instantly started feeling better.

Am I too old? I just turned 60 and had gastric bypass March 19 2018!

Any good advice to stop Hair loss?
