I had my surgery the same day as you. I hit 50 pounds Monday. I am amazed at how much better I feel and moving is getting easier. I am still on the soft diet and slowly incorporating more foods. I haven't tried raw veggies/ salads/ nuts yet. I was told by my dietician to get my Protein from foods not supplements but that is hard too. I still take one supplement a day.

Awesome job! I just started salad stuff 2 weeks ago. It all feels okay. I haven't done raw carrots. I'm trying to get most of my protein from food but its so difficult. Salmon doesn't agree with me. That has a high amount of protein. I will have to try again. keep up the awesome job!!! :)

This is definitely a process. I have had a few stalls myself. I was losing like crazy in the beginning but now its just a pound or two here and there. We just have to be patient and trust that it's gonna pay off. Be encouraged

Hey when was your surgery? I notice my weight is not flying off like it was anymore either. And I'm eating more. Just wondering how far out you are and how far out this is supposed to happen. :)

I received my Syntrax Nectar Fuzzy Navel today. I mixed it up added frozen strawberries, blended. It tastes like I'm drinking a fuzzy navel without the alcohol :-) I think these will work for Protein for a while. Can't taste the strawberries.

My husband ordered himself a pizza for dinner tonight. Part of me is annoyed' date=' because I feel like it's kind of rude to order a pizza and eat it in front of me, but on the other hand, he shouldn't have to give up his favorite foods just because I made this lifestyle change. He's one of the lucky ones, blessed with being naturally thin. Jerk. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />[/quote']

It bothered me alittle at first to. But he was not the one addicted to food so I had to keep telling myself that. I have young kids that eat small little meals through out the entire day. Then my husband comes home and we eat dinner. And yes my husband happens to be one of those guys who can eat anything and weight the same. By the end of the day I am so sick of being around food I cannot eat. So at least take out is better than you having to make homemade pizza!!!!!! It does get easier

Day of surgery I was 240 now I'm 197.. I was just wanting to see if people that had surgery around the same time have lost that much .. I don't know if I'm on track or I need to step up what doing...I worry because I can't drink the Protein Drinks. Since I had surgery I hate everything sweet and them drinks taste like pure sugar and make me sick. I try to eat a lot of Protein in my foods but can only eat a few bites and I'm full... Tks ????

I was 255 the day if surgery today I was 217. My surgery was Dec 10, I feel my weight is coming off slow compared to others. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week but I feel it's not coming off as fast as the first month and a half. I too am not getting the protein I should. I only liked the banana but it has gotten to the point I can't even drink that. I need to find another drink with lots if protein. Let me know if you find anything.

Having the same issues as you weight loss slowed down and I've been more hungry this week esp. Than normal. I guess I need to learn to drink more when I get hungry. I was worried about the hunger everyone I've talked to us like I can't believe your hungry and your not even 3 months out.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
