I'm Aug 29th' date=' post op....I lost 13lbs week one, 0lbs week two, and 1lbs week three. Anyone else experiencing this? It's depressing to think I could fail at this weight loss attempt too.

Yup. Mine was Aug 26th and I've lost about 17, but that was all week 1 and part of week 2. I've stalled now for at least a week. Sucks to stall so early, huh? We'll break through it though.

Everyone that knows I had surgery keeps asking me how much have you lost? Are you following the diet plan? I have enough stress trying to get enough Water, Vitamins and Protein into me. What to do? How long is this stall suppose to last? I'm only eating 600 cals a day, all protein based.

Does anyone else get a headache just about every day? I have been having headaches every day. They aren't horrible, just annoying.

I used to have massive Migraines bfor my surgery. Since the surgery I have only gotten a headache twice and both times it was because I was getting dehydrated. Once I started taking my Water and got enough in me, my headache went away.

So far I like this bypass tool way better and I am determined not to fail this tool like I did the band. I hope you are also happy with your decision.

I like it better than the band too! I don't miss the port pain I use to experience all to often. I wish I would've done the bypass first but I was scared!

Are you able to take larger sips over time? Is that normal? I have just been taking baby sips up until this morning since anything larger hurt. I made a mistake this morning and took too large of a sip. No pain. I've done it a few times since as I usually do throughout the day, and still no pain.

My surgery was August 30th, 2013 and I'm doing well. Went to the gym and worked up a good sweat walking and using the elliptical. I would love to start a group. To date I am 30 pounds down.

I get the same questions. My answer is always "I can do nothing but follow the directions lol. I'm not going back to the hospital.".)

Mine lasted about 10 days it seems. Yesterday was my first day back at work and today I had dropped 2 more pounds.

Just hang in there. Drink lots of Water and keep on moving. Your body will beat the stall and you will start losing again.

Every once in a while I forget that I can't guzzle like I used to but I don't feel any pain. I stop immediately because I don't want to be naughty. :D

Misswifey21,

When I had surgery it was August 5th and I was at 304. As of today I am at 273. We are doing about the same but you lost one more than me. I don't focus on the number because it would drive me crazy, but I try to instead focus on the positive changes I'm making in my life that weren't there before. I haven't started to really exercise yet and that's really bad on me but it's all about motivation and trying to stay positive. Sometimes you can't help but be sad or compare to others. Also remember we all are different and our stories are different. I personally want to lose slower. I want a chance for my skin to catch up with the weight loss and so far so good. We'll get there, slowly but surely. And that's ok. I was upset that I stalled for a week and was only down 25 since surgery but it picked back up and lost a couple more. It's a part of the process, we just have to keep our heads high and stay strong! You can do this!

      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. 💜

      2. Selina333

        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. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      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. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        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. 💜
