I’ll be 30 on Saturday and I had gastric bypass 2 years ago! Lost 140 lbs total. Best decision I’ve ever made! ❤️

Never thought I would feel comfortable wearing shorts in public, but here we are! ❤️??‍♀️

Rude comments are unnecessary. She asked a question in a forum made for ASKING QUESTIONS. If you don’t have anything helpful to contribute to the post then move along. I personally don’t see the issue with having a drink. I would suggest starting with 1 drink and seeing how you feel. Remember to sip slowly as it will hit a lot harder than what you are used to and worse case scenario if you do dump you’ll be able to feel it coming sooner if you’re sipping versus drinking faster. I hope you enjoy the wedding and spending time with your friends! ❤️

You have been such an inspiration! Your kind words and positivity have helped me in my journey and for that I am grateful!! ❤️ congratulations on your surgiversary!!

You’re going to do great!! if you’re having issues I’m sure you’ll be a lot happier after this is done, giving you a better quality of life! That’s beneficial not only to you, but your partner and child as well! Wishing you a quick recovery! ❤️

So sorry to hear this!! ☹️ did they tell you when they would check it again or how long they’re postponing?

Still can’t believe it’s me in both pictures! I’m literally less than half the person I was before and feel better than ever! 16 months post op ❤️ SW 268 CW 125

I agree with catwoman! Rice is complicated. I tried it when I was about 4-5 month post op and wished I hadn’t. I became very sick, it felt like I had swallowed a bag of rocks. But, now I am 14 months post op and I can eat rice (in moderation) easily and pain free! So it really just depends on the person!

I am 14 months post op but I remember the feeling of regret and depression like it was yesterday! My family ate as if nothing changed (and for them it hadn’t). But I felt alone, sad and like I had made a terrible mistake and like you said…there was no turning back! It lasted about 10 weeks for me. Once I was out of the purée/soft food phases things did get better! I also had a talk with my family about what I needed from them and how they could help me by eating the foods they wanted outside of the house or just not around me at all. I felt selfish asking, but they were all happy to do it! They actually felt bad for the thought never crossing their minds! I didn’t tell anyone about my surgery besides my close family so I didn’t go to the get together, cookouts, gatherings either! My advise? Go to the cookouts when you’re ready! I say all of this to say… it does get easier!! You will get past this phase and you will be happy that you made this decision! I’m sorry it’s sucks right now, but your future self with thank you!! ❤️

Not yet....probably going to wait another year to make sure my weight levels off then start looking into it ?
