Unique Opportunity to Have Your Story Published!

Are you eager to have your gastric bypass story published in a book? This is your chance! We are working on a book on the Roux-en-Y journey. The book will be a companion to the one we just released! It’s “Vitamins.” She also learned to make sure to take them – she faced fatigue and sickness when she got Vitamin B-12 deficiency following surgery! She also says that your shoes and rings get to be too big, and Water is precious. We know that cshort83 is going to continue to learn as she continues on her path to her goal weight, and we’re grateful to her for sharing her story with us. Thanks, cshort83, for being in the Member Spotlight!

If you know anyone whom you want to see featured in our member spotlight, please let us know in the Protein first at each meal.

  • Get back in the habit of measuring your portions instead of estimating.

  • Drink a glass of water each morning two hours after you eat Breakfast.< p>

  • Taking your dietary supplements at the same time(s) each day so you don’t forget.

  • How did you complete the challenge? Let us know in the food records or smaller body measurements as signs of progress even when you don’t hit a weekly weight loss goal.

    The scale should be your friend on this journey. It’s a source of positive feedback for healthy eating and other good choices, and it can be a gentle reminder to get back on track if you slip up. These simple tips can help you get the most out of the scale. Do you have any others? Let us know in the Newsletter Forum!

    Tip for the Forums: Finding a Niche!

    The forums can be daunting if you’re a newbie, or even if you’ve been around for a while. We suggest starting by introducing yourself if you haven’t already. Then, check out the forums that are most useful to you – if you’re pre-surgery or post-op, you might like the pre-surgery Q&A forums or post-surgery ones. Everyone can benefit from knowing more about the post-op diet, and that’s a popular board for our member! Don’t forget the special group forums if you want to hang out with slightly smaller groups of members with common interests. Don’t be shy! If you’re not sure where to go, just post your question anywhere. Someone is sure to direct you to the best place.

    That’s about it for this week’s newsletter. We hope you enjoyed reading it and are ready to come discuss it and everything else on the boards! You can always check out the archived newsletters at the Newsletter Forum, too. Thanks for being part of our community!

    Until next time, take care of yourself and each other,

    Alex.

        I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

          That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

        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! 😞

          I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

          Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
