  1. Had bypass best decision ever. lost 126lbs In under 5 months
  2. I'm glad I never dealt with constipation
  3. Well if your on liquid diet you'll get the runs that's just normal I had it for about 2 weeks.. I've had bypass now for almost 3 months no major issues really.. Get light headed sometimes but I eat very low calories. I can't remember anything serious besides the usual soreness after surgery..
  4. My issue is I haven't done much exercise or weight training so I still have some fat on my stomach area but if you're someone who works out often you might look better at 200 than me my goal was always to get under 200 then reassess so now I'm 196 I'm confident I can still lose weight.. good luck mate.
  5. 6ft - 183cm By the BMI my "healthy" range is 180lbs. I'm now 196 and I still have some flab on my belly and thighs so I'll keep going. I know another guy who got to 175lbs.
  6. Yeah check with your new state or new surgeon in the new state
  7. There's reality only two options in my city which was sleeve or bypass RNY. I did tons of research and decided on RNY for various reasons. 1. I wanted the Malabsorption aspect. 2. I wanted greater chance of fixing my diabetes which it did pretty quickly; was off all diabetes medications within a week of surgery. 3. I wanted the metabolic changes that came with the redirection of intestines because i believe my metabolism was so bad after decades of bad food choices. 4. I wanted the most restrictive procedure available and only wanted one surgery; most of my research showed many people being revised after sleeve surgery to bypass for many reasons. I am very very happy but I've been very strict on myself from day 1. Almost 5 months later and I'm down 126lbs from highest weight. But everyone has their own preference and reasons to what surgery they like.
  8. Sorry to hear that are you getting enough protein
  9. Doubt any surgeon would take those kind of risks
  10. Yeah mine's very similar as well
  11. I'm feeling AMAZING. I've hit 198 as of yesterday so I decided to treat myself by going and buying some new clothes and some brand names even ? I managed to find the smallest size I could fit into and I was shocked. Thought I'd share my latest progress photo for everyone. I've come along way from 322-198 has taken me 4.5 months so far. Please be kind ? I know I've gotta start really working out soon so I'm picking up a rowing machine next week which that should help a lot with my stomach area.. I really hope I can get down to 180-185 Thankyouuu. MIKEY.
  12. Looks like another fake person trying to cause arguments there's nothing on their profile
  13. Lol this post is almost a year old..
  14. The whole idea of surgery is to limit your portion sizes and therefore your goal should be to eat the most nutritional food possible not going back to eating high carbs and empty calories; that's what caused all the weight gain and issues in the beginning. Start experimenting and learning more healthy options
  15. Yeah it's usually some kind of error on the forms
  16. Exactly it's not like a mystery Or miracle. there's simple logic involved
