Hi there! I was just checking the Canadian forum and I don't see anyone on here. I am from Alberta and just had gastric bypass on July 4th. I am looking to connect with other Canadians because I have found a lot of the products recommended are not available in Canada. Thanks

Congratulations on your surgery. How are you feeling? I'm not Canadian but it sure won't stop me from replying to you Lolz

Hi. Thanks for replying...even if you aren't Canadian. lol I am two weeks post up now and I am feeling some pain on my left side. I am tired a lot. My first week post op I think I overdid it. I went on long walks and thought I was feeling good enough to go out with friends to walk the mall. My body got back at me and I have been tired ever since.I am taking it easy.

How has your recovery been?

Been awhile since I've been on here I'm 8 week post op. still having issues getting food to digest properly. But I'm losing which is amazing. So Jan 2012 I started at 304 I'm now 229. 268 at surgery on aug 29. Love the reaction I'm getting from friends and family but most of all I love my new body and lifestyle would not change for world!!!!

Congrats! Sounds like you are doing great. I'm from T.O and I had my surgery on Sept 5. Sounds like we are at a pretty similar place. What foods have you been having problems with digesting? Hope things improve for you soon. Good luck.
