Hi, I'm new to this app, so I'm unsure if I'm doing this all right.
I am 3 weeks post op, from having the gastric bypass surgery and wanted to make some friends, who have gone through it aswell. I could really do with the support, tips and advice.

@laura071693 I'm getting the DS. At the hospital now and the nerves have kicked in big time!
What surgery are you having? Good luck and I'll be praying for a smooth surgery!

Yayy, my surgery is tomorrow too at 11:15am. Wishing and praying that we all have a smooth surgery/recovery.

Surgery tomorrow, 11:30 VGS. Dr. called to let me know of an emergency. He has to leave town after surgeries tomorrow. Another Dr. Will be on call for emergencies and his nurse practitioner will be doing rounds and checking in with him. Do I want to reschedule? Nope, I trust him and know he would not ask someone to cover whom he did not also trust. So tomorrow it is! Best of luck to all of us July 23 peeps!

I am having revision bypass after 2 years of having the sleeve. I lost and have kept off 100 lbs. can anyone give me an idea as to how much more I will lose. Went from 239 to 139 and wearing 6s!!

Building muscle is a good thing. My doctor was thrilled to hear that I was back at the gym. I've always exercise before surgery, spinning, hot yoga, yoga, weigh training aerobic etc. and was glad when I was able to. I would rely on my medical team for these type of advice.

Start working out as soon as you can! But wait 1-2 months for heavy weights.
This surgery gives us a chance to turn around our previous bad decisions around food and exercise. An extra tool. But that is all - we have to drive our new habits and the sooner you start, the more likely that will be ‘bedded in’ when you get to your maintenance phase.
You might have some plateau as you build muscle, because size-for-size it is heavier than fat. But muscle tissue is way better for you - makes you stronger/healthier, it also burns more calories even at rest, so over time building a bit of muscle is great for keeping off the weight.
I have never exercised, played sport. Now I run 3x a week, gym 4x a week and I really genuinely like it! And I REALLY like seeing (lady) muscles on my arms and legs! Makes me so proud, reminds me I have WORKED at this, not just taken the easy option.

After a couple of weeks you're clear to work out as much as you want, and you should, except for lifting more than 10 pounds you should wait 4-6 weeks. Sure, your friend might be thinking of gaining muscle, but that's a GOOD gain and you'll want to be fit and burn calories, so exercise is important.
