The 1st few days are rough. Consentrat on Protein and liquids right now. The Protein Shakes can be counted as liquid.
The first few weeks I only got between 700 and 900 calories day. Just don’t go on a binge. I need a bunch of crap and you will be fine.

I have no answers for you I just wanted you to know that I feel your pain in your story. I hope you find some answers soon.

What a great feeling! Dance all you want!

Congratulations on keeping the weight off for so long.
I know what you mean about it not fixing your addiction just making it harder.

What’s TRE & ZOE atm?

Surgon told me to do a liquid diet for a week & then make sure I measure my food. I’m 5 years out & still measure my food to not go over 3.5 oz.
It took me 2 years to meet my goal, then I put back on 15lbs but this is where my body seems happy at.
I got down to my goal weight with The Fast Metabolism Diet. Check it out.

Do not give up hope! My surgeon told me to get all my info from the internet! I even put myself on a 2 week pre-surgery liver shrinking diet. I got no help from him whatsoever. I worked with a nutritionist from my insurance company to figure out what I should be eating.
My daughter had an amazing surgeon.
we have both done amazing and kept the weight off for over five years

Do not turn to drugs. The weight will come back on as soon as you stop.

Follow your surgeons plan & don’t push it! You need to heal!

Yes, weight all your food together to make 3oz.

Good for you!

I’m 5+ years & I still measure my food to no more then 3.5 oz when eating at home & about 1/3 of the meal when eating out.

Wear the same thing home that you wore to the hospital. You won’t be in them for very long at a time.

Thank you so much for the information, I was wondering if your friend had gastric bypass as well. I do not think I would mind the taste, but since my surgery was 4 months ago I am more concerned about the absorption rate.

My friend has NOT had any weight loss surgery.

I tried to take it. I took it whole & it gave me a terrible, horrible taste in my mouth! I could only do it for 2 days. My man took it with no problems. I had another friend take it & she had the terrible, horrible taste too!

I used to take that years ago for Migraines. I don’t remember losing a bunch of weight when I took it. But it was a long time ago.

I had a RNY over 5 years ago.
I see lots of activity on this board for one.
Good luck with yours. Ask any questions you have. Even what to pack to take to the hospital.

How exciting!
I had a fundolipcation years ago & after ten years it was discovered that it had failed at some point. And that my esophagus was L shaped & 1/2 of my stomach was above my diaphragm!
I had a bypass to fix all of that and lost over 60 pounds. I feel so much better now!
Good luck & God’s blessings on you tomorrow!

Oh boy, my dr says I need to take it for the rest of my life!
That could be that I had a huge GERD problem before, I had a huge hiatal hernia fixed during the surgery because my esophagus was in the shape of an L or that my surgeon isn’t really a bariatric surgeon, but a thoracic surgeon that I was sent to because of the L shape in my esophagus.
