@Strivingforbetter thanks

My gastric team that did my bypass wouldn’t do lap band because they were having too many issues

@Missouri-Lee's Summit anytime!I look forward to some interesting stories ?

Not sure I lost 40 pounds on my two week pre op liquid diet.I stuck to it exactly.

@GreenTealael what does that emoji mean?

I drink 3-4 Red Bull’s each and every day.I have become Mr Werther’s b***h as I eat one to 2 bags of these a week,and I didn’t like them before surgery ?

I never knew why I would binge eat even in childhood.After having my gastric bypass I learned what I suspected,I had ADHD.Since I’ve been taking meds for it I don’t binge eat,yes the bypass helps?.If I had known this long ago I doubt I would have been overweight!

I think this would be a great idea.I’m not sure how all of you feel about it.Maybe I’m just getting old but I will always prefer talking to a person over looking at a screw.

Congrats @Roxine.You gotta show some progress pics if you ever want to.

Pleased keep us posted.I believe you can keep the weight from coming back!

Bravo!

Wow I remember feeling that way after the pounds started coming off after surgery.I thought maybe I was doing something wrong and second guessing myself.I guarantee you anyone that sees you on a regular basis will notice your weight loss immediately.We are at most times our worst critic.The only advice I can give you is that we didn’t become our overweight selves quickly.It will take time for your body and mind to catch up to what’s happening!

@photogirl70 hopefully you get a good nights sleep!

@Someday I was pretty sore after mine.You definitely should address any concerns with your team.How long were you at the hospital after your surgery?

@Missouri-Lee's Summit yes that’s correct

@Krista27 I’m in Wyocena Wisconsin

@GreenTealael that’s a great idea thanks.

@Missouri-Lee's Summit I’m just in the morning process of starting to save up for the retainer now.,it’s 3500.Yes I do expect to get sole custody.Her mom will come and testify on the facts.I just wish I could get this over with.It sucks being alone.

I can’t cook,and my soon to be ex-wife keeps us broke.Its ok I just got vitamins opened my own bank account too!Thank you for offering I’m so thankful.You are an awesome lady.

@Missouri-Lee's Summit thank you.The next time I see my gastric team I’m going to see if they will print out my metric.I have been tested for cancer,autoimmune diseases etc.The only thing they can suggest is a lot of my weight issues are stress related.And I know I could do a better job at eating better food,but that’s a whole story in itself?

I didn’t have dumping until I got to solid foods.You will know when it happens!Its horrible.You get extremely nauseous.What I mean is the kind where people look and you and ask if you’re ok.Cols sweats,rapid heartbeat.Whenever I would dump I would have to force myself to throw up.I am not telling anyone else to do that.I couldn’t handle the feeling it was too intense.I would throw up,then I was ok.

That’s fair enough.Thsnk you for that insight.This is all uncharted territory for me so I want to go about things the right way.

I wish you were in Wisconsin

Ok so here I go.I’m very interested in lifting weights building muscle.For some reason since my surgery,I can eat 2500+ calories and not gain but maintain.For me to gain muscle am I going to have to really start knocking back protein powder or something?I’m new to this.I would appreciate any help!

So a question for everyone.I really feel like I want to at least start talking to women/getting to know them.No sex or anything even though I’m in pain from lack of it?Would it be wise to just get to know them?
