New Here, Needing Support



Recommended Posts

My name is Shannon. My gastric by pass was on December 27,2011. I have lost 95 lbs. I have done great until the past two weeks. I have had some issues come up that has put a lot of stress on me. I haven't lost any weight in two weeks and I'm not eating right. I have noticed I have been grabbing whatever to eat. I also haven't been to the gym. I am starting back on Monday going to the gym and I have started eating right today. I am so glad I found this app.

Hi Shannon. Welcome. I'm still pre surg so I haven't had this yet. I'm sure many have had this. We've all had it happen dieting. Just need a jump start and going to gym is one of those ways. So good for you. Support groups are also a big help. Face to face, phone, web, whatever you can do. You'll do fine.

Sending support and strength!

Shannon,

Great that you're here! I'm excited to hear about how you're doing, because I'm nervous about what will happen in the future, when we forget to think about how important our health is. It's what got us into trouble in the first place, right? Never taking the time for us and our need to keep healthy.

Breathe...then make YOU your first priority. If you can, substitute a meal with a Protein Shake or drink. Make sure you're getting all your Protein for fuel, and all of your fluids to flush your body clean! And don't forget your vitamins!

...I will be pulling for you! I had bypass April 30th of this year and am down 45 lbs. Another 90 to go!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
