I told the ones who are usually supportive and I know genuinely love me.. the rest I let think it was will power or , better yet, a secret to lose weight that I’m not willing to share... I’m ENJOYING the game!!.. heee heee

I hope this gives you some hope and works out for you as well.. Roux NY gastric bypass made it so my sleep apnea is gone!!.. as well as my acid reflux.. I now sleep in the same bed as the Hubby and he is ecstatic!

I didn’t think I would Dump either , ( 3 1/2 months post op) I had a Think Thin bar and was sick for 5 hours ( dizzy , nauseated, heart racing) then diarrhea for a day and a half... why couldnt it have happened with something worth dumping OVA.... argh

Even though I had surgery before you2/4/19... I lost 25 lbs between my March 21st check up and yesterday.. with a few days when the scale showed a gain here and there and a few stalls... do t beat yourself up!!! You got this !!! You are doing well..

The reason I felt I HAD to do the Roux n Y full by pass was to heal my body of the effects of my acid reflux. From the first seminar at the hospital I had my surgery at( given by the surgeon who actually operated ) I learned that the full by pass gave me the best odds to lose the most weight AND heal the GERD that wrecked havoc on my insides for way too long.. I know many people who had great success with the sleeve but my surgeon was adamant it could increase my acid.. everyone must follow their own path.. since Feb. 4, 2019 , I’ve lost 52 lbs( 12 pre op from liver shrinking protocol diet) and NO ACID REFLUX .

I never thought I’d feel this way cuz I looooved ma food.. now I use food as medicine and I only eat what’s good for me because of food aversion and the fact that everything tastes different now.. this girl now loves salads...I’m as baffled as anyone!!!

YAAY!! So happy for you... this supposed BIG BONED Sicilian girl now has dainty shoulder blades... I still feel like I’m being braggadocio, but , I’m proud of the 64 lbs. lost and I’m proud of all of you... woo hoo to your ribs and someone else’s hip bones... WOO HOO

Surgery was February 4th, 2019 and I’ve lost 62 lbs in all. I had to do the liver shrinking diet and lost 12 lbs in 2 weeks prior... starting weight before liver shrinking diet was 240 at 5 , 4” had RNY because of hernia and awful acid reflux.. been to counseling and following plan like a trooper , just worried that I am able to fill up that little pouch.. doesn’t mean I will, I just feel no discomfort and was expecting more..nice to feel so good though, and I am determined to make this work.. reminding myself the surgery was a TOOL.. a tool I must use... no miracle , well, maybe I can make my own miracle... NO!!! I WILL make my own miracle... this is an excellent place for support .

I’m right with you , I too have been able to tolerate most anything and have to stop myself or o know I could eat more than most people can at my stage of 3 1/2 months . The only saving grace was the lack of hunger but I fear that will return soon. I know there are many doubting Thomas’s in my life that are waiting to see if I fail at this as I did with all my other attempts to lose weight. I have to say as an answer to your question, wish I had the restriction I thought I would have and more of the "foamies” as some kind of restrictive guide . Alas I feel like I’m on another diet. I had full Roux NY to heal my atrocious acid reflux and hernia, I feel great and the surgery corrected that and I feel GREAT.. just too great.
