Congratulations! You look so beautiful. Praying you stay well and healthy.

Tracy,
My goal weight is 175. I gained a few pounds and I’m up to 206 from 199 which is so weird because I’m eating about 600 calories only a day. I think it must be Water so I’ll see what happens next week. I still get sick when I eat...I literally just got done dumping a few minutes ago...it was terrible!!!🤢 I ate a handful of pretzels (mini ones). ...never again! I can’t vomit so I just drool and pray for it to pass. My left lung is still at 60% and I’m still wobbly on my feet but I’m healing. Xo

Thanks for sharing your story Tracy. Sounds like all is well and you’re learning your new tummy and digestive system. All is well here also. I’m down to 189 and getting my strength back. Worst issue for me is dumping and stomach aches...going to get checked for ulcer to rule it out. Let’s stay in touch.

Hello,
I had severe gerd due to hiatel hernia (stomach was 4 inches into chest cavity), and stomach polups. I hd no other choice but to have bypass. I don’t have Gerd anymore, but occasionally I feel a burning in my stomach when I need to eat. I hate this surgery!! I’m miserable and nauseous all the time and I feel very sad I can’t enjoy food anymore. it’s quite depressing.

I just tried these, and love them. I was never a huge fan of popcorn. Hubby eats it all the time. I took a bite of his, and went back to eating my edamame.

I dump if I overeat usually or eat something my body doesn’t like. I dumped real bad the other day in an Adkins bar...several weeks ago so dumped real bad on a Glucerna shake. Both have no sugar, no carbs so not sure why I dumped so bad... made sure to try them twice in case it was a fluke. I think there’s some type of chemical or ingredient Incant tolerate. We’re going to compare and see. I only dump for about 30-45 minutes then I’m ok again but it’s awful. I can’t vomit so I just take it. 🤢

Hi Tracy,
sorry to hear about the Gerd. Bypass is supposed to fix that so I’m concerned for you.
my Gerd is gone completely but I still get nauseous after I eat food...it’s better than it was a few months ago but still there. My weight loss is very slow. I’m 203 and started at 264 (bypass July 18 2020. One would think that after 3 months in and out of hospital (not bypass related), I would have lost much more, but it’s ok, I’m in no rush. I hope you’ll see your doctor regarding f the Gerd. The meds are not good for your pouch long term. Xo

I eat soybeans (edamame) instead of popcorn. Much healthier too!

Zofran helps me and walking helps me also.

Today I hit my personal private goal !!!!! I lost half of my body weight !!!! UNBELIEVEABLE !!! 155lbs !!

Its hard to believe it has been 5 months since my revision. I weighed in at 159.6 this morning and seem to be holding steady. I dont feel like my weight bounces around as much. I am getting use to the RNY but am struggling in other areas now { alcohol}. I have never been much of a drinker but have noticed an increase and am trying to nip it in the butt now. I do not understand why this didnt happen with VSG . Any thoughts ? I see the team first part of November and am going to talk to them about this

Thanks Tracy.

I didn’t take measurements but I did lose inches. I was a 22/24 right and now I’m a 20 which is slightly big on me. I know I have to be patient, it’s just frustrating when other are losing 20 , 50, haha.

Yes doing much better but weight still super low. It’s been 7 weeks and only lost 13 lbs.
Also I get super sleepy if ive had a good meal. I usually stick to Protein Drinks and yogurt but yesterday had tiny container of mashed potatoes and I swear I was in a food coma. FelL asleep for half an hour.

That’s wonderful!!!! Congrats to you.

Thank you!

Doing ok. Still on mostly liquids. It’ll be four weeks on the 18th. I’ve only lost 10 lbs since surgery which is not as I hoped but I’m sure it’ll pick up once I move around more. I’m still sore and I can’t move around more than 10 minutes. I get winded and get side pain. Praying I’m better before the wedding on 9-19. My gown is a size 20 and I’m hoping I’ll be in an 18 or less in a month...my tailor is standing by...he’s cheering for me too haha.

That’s Incredible! So much healthier. Congrats!

You’re so pretty! Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉

Same here...sorta...I didn’t want a gastric bypass but had no other option due to large hiatel hernia which caused horrible reflux

Hello,
I had a 10cm hiatel hernia so four + inches of my stomach was in my chest cavity. I was approved for surgery in 3 weeks. My insurance was TRICARE.

Yep, you’re in a stall and it won’t be your only one through this process. They may last a week, two or more. I thought of them as my body saying: ‘Stop! Hang on. What the hell on you doing to me?’ It was like my body needed to take breath to catch up to the changes I was making & forcing it to become used to.
Don’t worry your weight loss will start again. Just give it time.
