I have been using my timer on my phone each time I sit down to eat. It has really helped me so far & will hopefully be a nee habit

I’m day 1 after surgery revision to gastric bypass. I was much less sore this time & been walking and siping my H20 & broth soup no problem. My surgeon already came by & they are discharging me! yay! Walking is key- gets everything moving, burps,gas, air, etc. I’ll
start taking a stool
softener later today just as a precaution. Good luck to you. Hope you feel better

Today’s the day! Please pray for me.

Good luck with your upcoming revision. I gained back 50% of my weight during COVID, but have recently lost it back again. I still struggle with eating due to boredom or stress.

I'm sorry to read about your cancer diagnosis. And steroids suck! I was on them for 7 years, so I'm well versed in how they're both helpful, yet evil at the same time. I'm pre-op for bypass. I had my lap band removed about a year ago, so I can't advise you on anything about bypass post op. Hopefully some of the bypass veterans will comment.
Best wishes on your revision!

I was sleeved Oct 2013 & lost 90lbs (gained back 20 lbs) but never got to goal weight or close. I really committed to changing my lifestyle; exercising (running & weight lifting) & used myfitness pal to log food. I felt great & looked great. Then, life unraveled. In 2016 found out my husband of 20yrs was cheating on me, I realized he was an alcoholic & we divorced, I was laid off from my job & then diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. My kids were 10 & 12 at the time & I had no family to help me (both parents deceased & brother lives 3hrs away by plane). I went through 9hr surgery to remove a foot of my colon & then 7 mos of chemo & steroids. I put on 60lbs during chemo & have not been able to lose it. I had a bad fall after last chemo treatment from neuropathy in feet. I have so much pain in my knees I can’t run. Don’t know if all due to excess weight, arthritis (I’m 54), chemo, menopause? I finished my ins requirements for a revision & scheduling revision to bypass is next. But, I am so hard on myself & questioning if it will work and if I shouldn’t be messing with my body especially surviving cancer? I have regained all my weight &depressed. I hate the way I look & struggle with trying to be happy I am alive after cancer. I have heard weight loss is slower after revision. Is that always the case? Anyone else have cancer after wls & regained and had revision? I feel lost. I miss the adrenaline I used to get from working out.
