I am so thankful and blessed to have had the surgery. I wouldn't change it and couldn't be happier with my choice to get it. I have my times when eating is harder then normal but the outcome is worth it. I loved food before and now food isn't the same. But that's good for me because pretty sure I was becoming addicted to food. I want to lose another 40-50 lbs. For anyone needing reassurance, gastric bypass was the best for me.

It is really great to hear all of your success stories thus far..congrats ..has anyone lost inches in their calves I'm longing for the day I can go to a store and buy boots intstead of having to order online paying double the money.. surgery is Wednesday december 5th whoo hoo

Question how long did u stay on liquid and puree foods?

Im 3 days out and in so much pain ive been doing the whole "i really hope this is gonna be worth it" deal' date=' its nice to hear that it will.[/quote']

I felt the same way! Definitely feel different now. I'm 6 weeks out and down 35 lbs. 50 lbs since pre op diet. Give it another 2-3 weeks and you'll feel like yourself again.

Yes it is and congratulations to u

My weight loss has also been slow. Tomorrow is two months for me.

The only good thing with slower weight loss is normally less excess skin.

Yes it is... I gained 5 ... I'm 1 week 2 days post op and lost 18 pounds which is including those 5 I gained...

Campka3 I probably stayed on liquids for a week and then pured for a week and then mushy foods for another week.

My entire abdomen is bruised and swollen after surgery - even in places far from the incisions.

I had my surgery tues and a couple of my incisions are very bruised others not so much ! Feeling well no pains meds since yesterday ! My challenge is boredom and mentally I'm doubting everything !
