Yes. Before the weight gain I was a size 7. I went up to 8 1/2 - 9 . I’m 7 months post op and I’m in 7 1/2-8 now. It will go down.

Weighing is definitely important. My surgeon and team say it allows us to see what we are eating and taken in the proper portions so we do not overeat or stretch your sleeve or pouch. I do measure and find it helps me a lot. A friend of mine began to gain... she was not weighing her meals. Unintentionally overeating. Soon as she began weighing meals the weight began to drop again. Good luck and I hope this helps

Thank you, I really appreciate the encouragement!!!

I Absolutely love all my pieces in my closet and have had such a difficult time letting anything go. I am exactly 7 months post op and ... yesss I still wear my pre surgery clothes. I try and alter them or take and have them taken in or just wear it. Lol , my family tells me to go purchase new clothes. I am having a difficult time with doing this because I don’t want new items just want the items I already have lol...... all my shoes are to big and I walk right out of them... I need to purchase items but I am opting on waiting another month or two if I can. I’m roughly 94lbs down from my highest weight. I find leggings, drawstring items or skirts work with the constant weight loss.

Thank you, it’s a work in progress... looking forward to conquering more milestones!

Thank you very much!!!!

Congratulations!!!! That is phenomenal. Great job!

Thank you for the encouragement! I did have my doubts at times as to when I would finally reach that milestone. So I wanted to share with others just Incase someone out there is experiencing doubts as well. Stay encouraged everyone!!

Thank you!

Thank you, I’m motivated and determined.

I feel great today!!! One step closer to my goal! I am 7 months post op. Had Rny Jan 27, 2019. Made it to onederland today!!!!!! Brings me to 198lbs current weight.

Congratulations ??!!!!!!

Thank you! Yes one day at a time!!! Each wk gets easier!

Hello there, how is your journey going? I had gastric bypass on January 25th, Surgery went well. However began to have these servere kidney stones that caused blockages and resulted in two more surgeries since. I suspect it has something to do with the large quantities of protein! Needless to say I’m moving along now. I am down 66 Lbs. every day gets a little better. Just trying to stay focused and remain on track. Hope your journey is going well!!!

Hi there, welcome to the group!!!! It gets better. I had RNY 1/25/19. I felt the same way for the good part of my recovery. I healed a little slower than average as well. It does get better. I worked on my fluids, protein and eating a little more. I was not consuming nearly enough. Once I made those adjustments my body kicked it together. I began to feel better around three wks ago. I’m now down 50 lbs. Stay encouraged it does get better. I also upped my b12. As it helps with energy. Good luck on your journey. I had trouble eating and still do, at these times I don’t even want to eat. But I stick with it an sometimes even end up replacing my meal with a yogurt. Whatever healthy you can get in there.

I’m about 3wks post up- bypass. My Dr. put me out for a month! My surgery was 1/25, I can say I’m glad I listened to him. I definitely tire easily and learning my new stomach and limitations can definitely take some doing. I do some work from home so I’m not completely overwhelmed when I return. Good luck

Great!! Good to hear your feeling better!

Hi, I’m sorry to hear that! Have you considered that it may be the protein causing it. After my RNY I had to switch to a plant based protein. Anything whey based would do the same to me. Once I switched and I use lactaid it was much better for me. Hopefully this could assist you. Good luck!

When I try eggs I mush them and make sure to not scramble to hard. Small small pieces, if not i feel pain but have never had the throwing up experience or nausea.

Oh my, I hope you feel better. I am 15 days post op- RNY. I get the the tightness in my chest and back too. I found if I take even smaller portions of and already small portion it helps with preventing this. Almost half of a bite. I know it sounds crazy but it works very very very tiny bites. Hope this helps you!

How are you feeling today? I hope much better! I had a rough first few days my glucoses dropped below 50, I was discharged Monday after 4 days! Today is a much better day. Taking my time learning my new tummy. I had absolutely zero nausea the entire time!!!! Thank goodness for that!

Congratulations!!!! Welcome to the losers bench!!
