Pressure in chest, hiccup, nose running. But at first I had no symptoms so I would just measure everything. Maybe 6-7 month after I started feeling/noticing the signs of being full

Bypass 7/2018 I drink approx 4 cups per day with a splash of sugar free creamer

I had a deducible of $250. I was billed afterward I called my insurance company beforehand and asked for specifics, down to which anesthesiologists were in network

I told people I had my Gall bladder removed, which technically it was, and now I just can’t tolerate many of the foods (high fat, sugar, carbs) that I used to eat.

First day back to work in 2020! Here’s to a new day, new year and new decade of awesomeness

1 year, 5 months out PB and J..haven’t tried, too much bread Taco Bell...haven’t tried it Hamburger...yes without any bun Toast...too much bread Egg McMuffin...might be able without the top English muffin Most of these foods do not sound like they are part of the life style plan.

I would just caution against bringing anything with a heavy scent. I had to share a room, and if my roommate had brought aromatherapy oils or scented lotions I would have cried.

Bought a size 10 pair of pants today. Used to be in 22/24. Loving life

Female 5’7” Starting weight 288 lbs Bypass 7/10/18 Current weight 155lbs

How have your follow up appts been going? Are you following your meal plan?

I don’t know how far into the process you are, but start working on your “life style” menu. The liquid and purée stages are short lived, but rethinking how you prepare and what foods you serve will be forever. Get the kids involved in preparing/Choosing/shopping for meals

Set a goal with a time limit and that is measurable; run a 5k or fit into my size ___ again by March 1st, or track everything I eat for 3 months, etc

The incisions are small and the pain is minimal so it shouldn’t really be an issue

Never heard of this. I would assume if you are eating healthy then your skin would be healthy, thus improving scars. I really don’t know though

I do every morning, but each person is different

I’m at 16 months and still always cold ☹️

This was me for weeeeks! Once you start to eat more food, energy will follow. By 6 weeks, shouldn’t you be on some type of foods? Also ditch the patches, they are garbage.

I’ve tried soda once or twice since surgery (16 months out) honestly it tastes so gross. Like chemicals. I do drink the occasional beer or white claw without issue though

Never told anyone I worked with

People of size??? Bahaha aren’t we all people of some size???

Donated to some of the schools I work for...items go directly to students

No way! I’ve dumped accidentally, not a good feeling

Liquids, liquids, liquids...not a fun time but it’ll be over soon. You got this

I used to get excited for my twice a day vitamins because they were chewable. This too shall pass...it’s not fun, but it’s a big part of the process

I would be calling daily if it were me
