No stricture, stomach is unstable and twisted. They will go in, remove staples, and restaple my pouch against the wall of my stomach. It's the surgery all over again plus more. Very anxious ugh! Thanks for the thoughts!!!

I want ppl who are pre op as well as post op to know this is VERY UNCOMMON and is VERY UNLIKELY to happen to you. It does have to do with having the surgery and wouldn't have happened unless I did, but the chances of this happening are very rare and cases are very, very limited. Just don't want viewers who may be pre op to see this and get worried and second guess themselves. Even with this struggle, NO REGRETS!

That's crazy Kyle, how do you feel? Did this all come about b/c of your food intake? Do you think the weight loss was a direct result to this? Let me tell you I'm struggling. I get hungry, I watch what I'm eating, I'm exercising almost daily and I'm again at a freaking stall.... I can't win! I'm getting so frustrated... This is a lot easier for other people it seems...

Sorry to hear about your stall :-) Just keep a positive attitude!

They said my weight loss is not a result of it at all. As I eat the things my stomach does tolerate and get in my Protein and eat regularly and what not. They said that it can happen to people that lose weight really quick and I was one of those ppl I lost a lot really quick and that effects the stomach and the insides. After the surgery I will actually probably eat the way I have been since I'm comfortable with it and I'm getting my protein and what not. The stomach twisting is what is causing me to be sensative to a lot of foods. It's EXTREAMLY uncommon, but I lost a lot of weight within the first couple of months which had an effect on this happening. So the cause of it was actually losing the weight to quickly.

Don't get discouraged about your stall! As you can see stalls are common and then suddenly BOOM you start losing again. And always remember men lose at a quicker pace. Talk with your nutritionalist and see what they say. How much are you down since day of surgery? Don't get discouraged, keep a positive attitude and keep pushing!

Even with my struggles I still have no regrets and feel very proud of myself with making the decision to get sleeved that I have. This is day of surgery on left and the right one of yesterday, five months post op when I went in for testing. (I don't remember either of them being taken lol)

Well I want to be like you lol... I'm at 35lbs and actually gained a lb...

Your doing great! 35 lbs gone, a lb gained, the stall will be done in a week or two and then you'll start dropping again! Keep that positive frame of mind! :-)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
