i was the same i gained 6 stone due to steroids for a condition i have but was put on immune suppressants as i could no longer tolerate the steroids. I thought i would of lost my weight after that but i didn’t and i have been pre menopause since age 33 with my condition affecting my pituitary and hypothalamus, so i had RNY bypass in january 2021, iv lost 3 stone so far but slowed down and been at a stall for over 3 weeks now. i have been getting pain and rang my team and they suggested it could be trapped wind so try something for that, and earlier on after surgery my bowel habits were not regular but once you start gradually eating more proper food it helps. and a few times the colour of mine were really light nearly white but this got better after i was eating proper foods. Hope this helps. ?

hi all been intouch with the team and they said to see how it goes over the next week and suggested it could be trapped wind, iv been and bought some windeeze so see if that helps.

thanks everyone, it’s not a constant pain it comes and goes in clusters like a sharp stabbing under my left ribs, i will get intouch with the bariatric team. Thank youse.

I’m at a stall, been 3 weeks, it’s so frustrating, hopefully i get a 7lb loss soon ?

Evening all, i had RNY bypass in january, is it normal to still get stabbing pains under my ribs on the left side, had them since surgery but thought it would of eased off by now.

Has she had her cortisol levels checked ?

thank you for the reply, think i will be investing in a wig at this rate lol.

Hi all, i’m nearly 4 month out from RNY bypass i’m taking my vitamins and extra hair, skin and nails supplements, i’m also reaching my protein goal each day but my hair has been falling out really badly. Does anybody have any advice ? treatments to use ? thanks xx

Yes mine asked all those questions also but was more like I was turning to food because of what happened over the years the way they were putting it and it just seemed to drag on for over a year.

Thanks, yeah I’m down to 12 stone 5 pounds and would like to get around the 10 stone mark.

Hi, this is what held my surgery up going through the psychology process, they start from the very beginning of you being a child and what family life was like, then they go through relationships, losing people, alcohol and drugs. Personally mine was abusive relationships in the past and my partner passing away. But they want to know everything about everything.

Thank you for the reply, iv downloaded a few apps to track what I’m eating and drinking, I need to drink more water for sure, I will try cutting down the sodium thanks.

Hi all just joined this app. I had a gastric bypass in january, so far iv lost 32 pounds which I’m pleased with but lately it’s stopped havnt lost anything for the past 3 weeks and before that it was so slow. Can anyone help me and has this happened to anyone else ? Thanks.
