My daughter & I both had bypass. We both have GERD & that is the only way to go if you have GERD.
She started at 305 & lost 150 lbs & has kept it off for 4 years.
I started at 200 & have lost 70lbs & have kept it off for almost 6 years.
A lot of people have the sleeve revised to a bypass because of GERD.
What does your doctor recommend for you?

I put back on 1/2 of the weight I had lost after just a couple of years. Last January my BFF talked me into doing the Fast Metabolism Diet with her. After 2 months I lost 1/2 of that weight & after 6 months I had hit my goal weight (I never had done that). I have been holding that weight for the past 6 months.

I totally changed my eating habits by not only following the Fast Metabolism plan but because of it I cut out all dairy which is a huge thing for me today! My body feels so much better in so many ways!

You gotta get the book by Haylie Pomroy!

I’m 4 years out. At home I still weigh my food. At dinner I eat around 1-1.5oz veggies & the rest is Protein. The whole meal is 3 -3.5 oz. If I eat more then that I get too full & I’m uncomfortable for a while. When we eat out I eat a little less then 1/2 of the meal, my husband & I usually share an entry. If I’m eating out with a friend I ask if I can order something on the kid’s menu.
At about 1.5 years out I started eating over 4 oz & I put back on 30 pounds! I used The Fast Metabolism Diet & I did great & I actually got to my goal weight!

Get a second opinion.

Why are you afraid of a by pass?

You are not alone!!!!
I have to not only throw it away in my kitchen garbage can, I have to take the bag out to the garage & put it into the big garbage can or I will keep eating it!
People think that having surgery is the easy way out. It’s not, we all still have to face our food demons. We have worked really hard for every pound loss & trying to keep it off is hard!

I hate it when that happens 😅

I was tired the 1st few weeks but that is to be expected after what my body just went through plus not eating very much those weeks too. But after my body adjusted to all of it I had more energy then I knew what to do with!
Everyone is gonna be different & don’t NOT get the surgery because of what anyone says.
Just make sure to follow your Drs instructions, you will find those very a lot too!

This is a great question!
Are crackers enough? I always take my meds about 30 min after I eat but I don’t have to worry about eating when I take them.
I would definitely call your Dr to see what they suggest & then let us know what they say!

I have been taking the Uqora line of products. They have D-mannose in them. Both my urologist & naturopath recommend that I take that. I keep having asymptomatic EColi. They won’t treat it because I have no symptoms & it is antibiotic resistant. If they do treat it I have to be in the hospital & get a pic line because I am allergic to so many antibiotics.
Uqora has a Facebook group. They are very helpful, you should check it out.

I had my bypass over 4 years ago. It really just depends on the day. One day I can eat candy corn & the next day it makes me sick. The only food that has given me any problem is almond milk. I have tried it 3 different times & it has made me sick.
I do have problems if I eat too much.
When I dump it’s throwing up or I don’t feel well for a couple hours.

Just like pregnancy, everyone is different & my experience won’t be the same as anyone else’s.

I love that goal!
You got get it!

That is a lot of sugar for oatmeal! I use Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus in my oatmeal. It doesn’t have any sugar & I’m only getting sugar from the fruit I’m adding.
I would put 1/4C of sugar on my Rice Krispy Cereal so I am shocked that I don’t want it on my oatmeal! There are copy cat PC Cinnamon Plus recipes on Pinterest So I just make my own.
You also can buy unflavored Protein from a nutrition store & add it to your food during the 1st couple of months.

Good luck with your surgery !

Could be. You might have to wear steel toed boots for a while😹

That awful pain is from the gas that was used to plump you up so the surgeon could see what they were doing in your abdomen. In my experience (I have had at least 7 surgeries with the gas) is that nothing helps. Some surgeons are better at getting all the gas out & some of us are more sensitive to the pain.
The only thing that I have ever found helpful is Tens unit (Google that). Pain meds, muscle relaxers, heat, ice & gabapentin don’t help mine at all & mine lasts for 3 weeks.
Good luck!

I hope you figure something out. That is sad that you can’t do something that gave you such joy.

I got allergy shots for 5 years noticed that I was sneezing again & turns out I became allergic to something new. Maybe think about getting tested again.

At almost 4 years out I started to get nauseous for no reason. I have been like this since Feb. it’s not food. I really can’t figure out what it is & neither can any Dr including my surgeon.
He did an EDG a couple weeks ago & didn’t see anything wrong.
some days I’m good & somedays, like today, I’m bad!
I have been to my PCP, gastrointestinal, urologist, naturopath & my surgeon. Who else can I try?
