Why cant I lose weight naturally?
I say metabolism and genes are a big player on my side. Before surgery I was hungry every 2 hours even after eating a huge plate of food never get full but now after surgery I feel better the bypass does change your internal plumbing and metabolism...

8 DAYS POST OP - 10LBS DOWN WOOHOO
I am stoked i got weighed the day I was admitted Monday 28th i was stuck in hospital a week on fluids only could only walk the last 4 days got home last night finally had a really good sleep couldn't sleep much in hospital due to pain and being woken every few hours by nurses... I weighed 257 on admission and today this morning I'm 247 by my scales so that's 10lbs gone in 8 days since admission That's pretty good since I could still be a little bloated from gas or fluids but I just felt I needed to weigh myself to get a base line to continue my journey. Feels great to get under that 250 number I'm drinking water and protein shakes very easily Just taking smaller mouthfuls than normal definitely going to the toilet more often so it seems that the bypass makes the liquids go through me quicker now ? glad to be back online!!!
