Any Canadians Out There?



Recommended Posts

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

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?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
