Onward and downwards from here

Yay! So happy for you that your stall is over!
Just got on the scale and I’m down 5lbs!! Whoop! My stall is over too! 😁

Congrats!
I had MGB March 16th and have only lost 18lbs but i lost over 100lbs prior to surgery.
It's deffo going slower than expected and I'm struggling to cope without my coping mechanism of food but I'm staying positive and thinking it'll be worth it.

I'm excited to be so close to my goal weight. I had my surgery done in Mexico back on October 16th 2019 with Pompeii Surgical. I also follow their patients support group and wanted to update on here for those looking to get the gastric bypass!
My Stats:
Starting weight- 256lbs at 5'9" and 48inch waist.Ring size 12 then , shoe size 11.5 also.
Now I'm- 167lbs at 5'8" and a 30 inch waist. Ring size 9 now, shoe size 9 also.
Zero complications from surgery!
I'm loving my new me!
Goal weight is under 150lbs !
I'm also training to join my local Sheriffs Office to become a deputy !

I was part of the last group to go through surgery before the coronavirus cancellations.
Had mine March 16th.

I'd eat it. Cant wait to get off puree and soft food 🤣

I'm sorry you had a rough recovery.
I had a mini bypass March 16th and couldn't be happier.
Have you discussed your concerns with your surgeon or dr? Weight loss surgery does change your internal body rhythm so you might need to adjust diet and speak with a dietician?
Good luck xx

Complications from gastric bypass are very rare, especially these days with more advanced techniques available to surgeons.
I couldn't be happier with my decision to have a mini bypass.

Sounds delicious 😄 i miss bread most haha

I'm really sorry this happened to you, but this kind of thing is extremely rare. People can have bad complications from the sleeve, too, but as with bypass, they are very rare. I've been involved in the bariatric community for several years and you almost never hear about this kind of thing. The vast majority of people who've had either kind of surgery have had either no complications at all or very minor ones that were an easy fix.

P.S. You only joined this forum two hours ago? If you'd have been on here for several years, you'd know what you described almost never happens. I've been on this and another popular bariatric forum for about six years, and volunteer with bariatric patients at my clinic, and I can count the number of severe cases like this one on hand....

Oh we have that here. It's called super rice and sauce 😄 used to take mine to work too but it's all ready to drink Protein Shakes for a while 🤣

I've gone from a standard dinner plate to a ramekin 🤣
I'm full after a few tsps now. Such a weird feeling.

Oh i never thought of that

I personally haven't given much feedback, as I don't think I'm far along in my journey. I have however given the advice I've been given by my dietitian and surgeon. But I also realise that what works for one person won't work for another.
E.g. avoid ice cold drinks, stick to cool drinks and flavour with sugar free cordials.
I was also told to add 4 tbsps of marvel (dried milk) to a pint of skim milk to drink throughout the day for an added 40g of Protein
I no longer have the puree diet sheet, but here is the week 5-8 soft phase and week 8 onwards solid food stages if you're interested

I’ve gotten the foamies after my Protein Shakes and applesauce that I ate too fast. I’m not sure what causes it. Our new tummies are teaching us all the time what we can and can’t handle.

Awesome. Will it get easier?

What is handi rice?

Looks like a bento box

That's totally normal!

I'm only on soft food but can only manage 3-4tsps before I get full. Any more and I'm uncomfortable and feel sick.

I think I also have some leftover Handi Rice now, lol. Craved this junky stuff like crazy tonight and now the portion is sitting half eaten on the counter.
