I'm usually fine on cheese, i have string cheese as a snack i never thought to use water. I thought my pan was non stick... at least it was supposed to be ? trust broken ??

Ah ok. I'll try without

What would have been the fatty part in an omelette? The cheese? Should i try egg whites only?

I'm 6wks post op now, and this evening after dinner (i had a few bites of a cheese and spinach omelette cooked with low fat cooking spray not oil), i went to the bathroom and it was mostly oil coming out. Last time I experienced this, i was taking Orlistat weight loss pills I know our digestive tract is completely changed after surgery, but is it normal to be so oily so soon after? Would it have been what i ate? I didn't get dumping, no nausea etc. Just went to the bathroom about 2hrs after eating. Just wondered if anyone else has had the same thing Thanks xx

Best decision you'll ever make. I'm 5wks post op mini bypass. Couldn't be happier.

Some people on a bariatric support group I'm in have said fast track is as quick as 2wks.

Instead of it following the natural curve of the stomach, it's more vertical.

I read the surgeon report and it said mine was the lesser curved pouch. Maybe that's common with the MGB?

Mine is 150cm too haven't had any dumping etc yet and I'm 5wks out

I saw this on my Instagram if you are interested https://shaperlotus.com/

I have chicken breast strips in the freezer i can cover in paprika and breadcrumbs to cook in the oven when I'm ready for solids ?

Well done. I'm almost 5wks (16th March) post op from a mini bypass and barely losing weight. It's so depressing and I'm struggling bad I've lost 19lbs since surgery and 129lbs total since January 2019. started January 2019 at 400lbs, 290 at surgery and 271 today.

I stalled last week and was so disappointed i had a mini tantrum, screaming that it wasn't worth it. Then i found this and it explained so much!

The hardest thing I've had to come to terms with is losing my coping mechanism. I used to eat to feed my emotions but now that's not an option I'm lost. Wish i had a bit more therapy as i did 15wks but it wasn't enough. Speaking to a therapist Tuesday morning ? The stalls really demotivated me and disappointed me too. I thought I'd have lost more weight by now ?

Oh thanks! I was due for a thyroid test in March but had my surgery 16th and COVID-19 shut all blood clinics so need to wait to see if it is. Hopefully get some answers ? I was stalled last week and gained 1lb and only lost 1.5lbs this week. It's really getting me down.

Thanks. I just wondered because I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid in February 2019 and found the correct dose for me around June (150mg thyroxine). I'll call my surgeon Monday ?

I was going to go for the sleeve but my surgeon recommended the mini bypass. Same recovery time as the sleeve but better long term results. I am 4wks out, started at 290 at 5'3. I'm 271 today i also have hypothyroidism. But at the end of the day, it's upto you. Does your surgeon have a preference?

I'm considering it too, more to hold in my stomach excess skin ? https://shapermint.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwp-X0BRAFEiwAheRuix0Qs4j5fWacE8F1nmi9Mw9H6f0lx5wWi9_RISyfomNwOA32EkkjXxoCpOkQAvD_BwE

Has anyone been diagnosed hypothyroidism and had a gastric bypass? I'm 4wks post op and been so tired and lost a lot less weight than expected. Typical hypothyroidism symptoms. I can't get my blood test done for a while due to COVID-19. Just wondered if one of the internal changes after surgery were thyroid hormone production? Thanks

After i lost the weight i never woke up gasping for air like i did when i was heavier so i assumed i didn't have it anymore

No. I used to before i lost 100+ lbs prior to surgery.

Sadly I'm the complete opposite, no energy and sleepy most afternoons ? but i can't seem to stay asleep

Oh i have a Google home mini with sleep routines on it, might try it ?

I'm 4wks out of a mini bypass. I've noticed I'm having trouble sleeping or staying asleep. I wake up about every 2-3hrs it's not pain related, as I'm pretty much healed now. I'm just very restless. anyone else had the same thing?

I'm 4wks post op and tried chicken but vomited foam, bile and food. You're lucky you can eat, I'm jealous ?
