I haven't been checking it as much as I should. I will be now to rule if that's what it is.

Usually happens if I have to get up to fast or sometimes when I just feel overly tired. I wanted to know if it is common and eventually goes away. I'm getting my Protein in and fluids. I am on some pureed foods. Less then 400 calories a day. I do walk at least 30 mins daily.

The more Protein you drink the more solid things should get. Just don’t let it back up and get too solid. Yes stage three is sooooo much better. I had chicken broth for my thanksgiving meal. At 2.5 weeks I did have a couple baby spoons of mashed potatoes and it was like heaven. 😎

I didn't have solid movements until well into the soft food phase. Everyone is different though.

Hello all!

I am 5 months out and a 100lbs down. I am honestly so grateful that I got the opportunity to have this operation done. I don’t miss my old life style at all, I now love the gym, I love my lean Protein and veggie meals, I love being able to shop anywhere without worrying about if they’ll carry my size, I love not worrying about taking up too much space on public transport, I love running about everywhere and not feeling the excess weight on my knees and feet.

Have I had bad days?? Of course! One day I ate an entire block of brie, another day I ate a slice of pizza. But the difference is now I don’t let my mistakes define. One bad meal isn’t going to get me back where I started. One bad meal isn’t the end of my journey. I accept it, and move on. Maybe i’ll move around even more the next day.

I have another 30lbs to go until I hit my goal weight, I will never ever ever be skinny, because i’m naturally curvy and you know what? That’s ok. I own these curves and i’m healthy and curvy!

HW: 298
SW: 289
CW:185
GW:150 ish?

Bummer, that would have been an easy fix.

I don't drink caffeine much. Once every few weeks or longer and only tea. I face up sodas years ago. I don't drink coffee either.

Are you just now getting off caffeine? That can cause brutal headaches. If so, let yourself have a half-cup here and there for a couple days to ease the withdrawal.
Congrats on your approval! It is life-changing!

I’m two days post surgery and am thankful for my blessings. I had no pain and very manageable gas. Have not been on opioid painmeds since the early am the day after. I had some nausea but manageable. I’ve not thrown up. Getting more Water in day by day. Had a shake, a Jello, 8 oz and am working on a 24oz Protein Water. Do not like giving myself shots. I’m home today as smell of food nauseates me. Going to my sons house when the start broadcasting their YouTube show. My daughter is The Art Sherpa on Facebook and YouTube and I love watching the broadcasts. Happy thanksgiving all

Btw, I’m in beautiful Texas too.

I'm also in the Houston area!!

Can we just start a thread for us November bypassers? Mine is November 1st! Please feel free to spill your guts over your fears and excitements! I'd love to have the support knowing we're doing this together, even if we are physically far away.
I have 150lbs to lose and I am anxious to see those pounds go! My goal is to reach my goal weight within 24 months. I know it can happen much sooner than that, but I want to give myself a far out goal-date so I don't get too upset if it doesn't come off as fast as I hope. I hope to spend my 32nd birthday at 140lbs! My birthday is November 24th, so this is the best 30th birthday present I could give myself.
