I was doing the same thing and i tried a few thing and didnt make me sick but were bad but im back on track still losing slow

I'm wondering if this is probably the normal faltering period. Where we figure out we can eat some things we shouldn't and a little bit of old habit comes back. Gotta keep on fighting and changing. I know I have to keep reminding myself I didn't do this surgery to only lose half my weight. I want the whole shebang gone.

You must be getting close to being out of the 3s, too? Or did you make it?! Hope you are doing well. Take care of yourself.

Can I just say how happy I am for restriction? I've been struggling lately and sometimes eating things I would be better to leave alone (carbs), but thankfully I can never eat more than a few bites. I know I have to work on my mind to get back on track, but I am so happy that restriction is keeping me from completely sabotaging myself. Now to snap out of this funk!

I feel you on this. Head hunger and munchies are the worst. Cheers to getting our brains back on track!!! We can do this!

to be honest, my diet is crap. :( lol my dr isnt really strict on what I can have or not. Long as I do it in portions. I did have the DS and not the RNY so my body does work differently than the RNY. Now depending on hat I eat I can only eat very little or I feel like I eat like a cow lol. I can eat 8oz of Soup but only like 2 oz of chicken. My exercise isn't much. I go dancing every Friday night and I run the tread mill for 30 mins once a week plus do this cool machine at gym for 15mins once a week. I'm kinda lazy not gna lie. It feels like it's taken forever to get here but only 23lbs till my goal.

tbh I don't feel skinny and believe me I traded in one insecurity for another :-( now instead of fat filled skin it's saggy hanging excess skin lol I feel like I don't fit I to anything but I do lol I just am a little insecure will. My bf has been helping me through it along with family and friends but can't help but feel fat still :-/

I think this is why the doctors encourage us to see a therapist post op. We won't see the direct changes right away and feel no different than before. I think I look great with clothes on. Off? Not so much. But my fiancé says I look great in and out of them. I guess we're just very self conscious and super critical of our bodies and what they "should" look like versus what they actually look like. I take it one day at a time. Some days I see the change and I'm thrilled, others I look in the mirror and say I don't see any change. But I know the 127lbs is what changed and have to push myself to be happy with my body. I am .2 lbs away from onederland and it has been taunting me for a couple weeks now lol

Just take pictures because it appears that our minds don't catch up with our bodies until somewhere down the line. U do look good and I'm not going to take back the skinny comment because it's true☺️!

I feel as you do . In clothes I feel like I look good sometimes I feel pretty sexy in clothes... Then when the clothes come off .... EWWWW. I always tell my bf that it's false advertisement... He is so compassionate. He tell me im beautiful and that it's not false advertisement because he loves me. But I just feel so disgusting when my clothes come off :-( I should see a therapist but my dr said that it's just best to get on pills... Which I'm like nah that's not what I want. It's just my mind. You'll get there tho in ONEDERLAND . It took me FOREVER to get below 200. Like was a 4 wk stall then boom in the 190s. I'm at 193 today so I'm only 23 lbs from my goal for my 1yr surgiversary but hopefully by 18mon post op I'll be in the 140s to 150 max. Somedays I feel great about myself some days I don't. It's hard. You look AMAZING btw :-)

      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. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      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. 💜
