Hello!! This is my first post on BariatricPal. I had gastric bypass on Feb 26, 2014 and feel great, sometimes a little tired but overal very good. HOWEVER, I am 2 weeks and 2 days out and I have only lost 9 pounds and then gained a pound . I can't believe that I am at a stand still already. Has anyone else experienced this so early on?

I have a recumbent bike that I try to use as much as possible. I take care of my elderly parents. Mom had a stroke and dad is on dialysis and is ready to quit. Then I have two adopted granddaughters, both teenagers that constantly say feed me... I swear they are boys in disguise. I cook different for about each of them and it seems I'm never out of the kitchen. I have a bow flex but never use it and would like to get rid of it for an elliptical. Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't have had the surgery since I can't get out and enjoy it but I have to keep telling myself that life won't always be like this. My BF n I just bought a motorhome and when my sister can come stay with the folks, he and I are going to get away for some weekends and his vacation time. I'm so blessed to have him in my life. Well enough blabbing. :-)

TGIF ALL! Another day another dollar right?! Lol.

I went to my one month post op yesterday and me and doc were discussing the DISADVANTAGE revisioners (band to bypass) have. DONT I KNOW IT! He said banders learn how to get around their band and eat more....and use those rules after the bypass-which could be real bad!!! What a process right?

We also touched base on liquor. He suggested not drinking until 6 months out. When I told him I already imbided...he went into a lenghthy talk of how alcholism can become a biggy after the bypass. TOTALLY AGREE. My first drink I was super drunk...and then as quickly as it came, it went away so to all my socializers....BEWARE!

Just wanted to share and send a little happy friday your way.

Per my scale....down 3 more pounds!! That makes 20 pds since the surgery (4 1/2 weeks ago). How is everyone else coming along?

Seven weeks today - 21 pounds. Ugh, revision, the slow race!

The struggle, right!?1

7-1/2 weeks and down 44.3 lbs

2 1/2 months down 34#.. weigh 156..

Well ... some of the more experienced bypassers have put their two cents in, saying 21 pounds is still a ton of weight (it is!), basically that I should be grateful for it (I am). But still, there are so many others who have lost nearly forty in the same time or less!

No point in whining over it. It's weight lost, and I am happy! I'll be happier still when my clothes start falling off!!

Hi all! TGIF!

I have been to zumba twice this week and worked out on the weights another day. Scaled didnt budge but I feel really good after I am done working out. I <3 to dance so zumba is right up my alley.

Last night I was drinking and eating turkey chili at the same time. (bad idea)

I now know that beans are not longer my friend (the gas that comes along w/it is NOT worth it) and that you should decide on only one thing at a time: eating or drinking- never both!!!!

Another thing to add to the trial and error era

How is everyone else doing?

**Side note- I could eat cheese ALL DAY LONG. I love cheese and cheese loves me. lol

5 1/2 weeks out I find myself falling back into the bad groove of eating out of boredome. I shall overcome!

Congratulations on getting the workouts in! I love Zumba too! You may not see the scale move right away, but it will move! Don't forget to drink extra Water when you work out. KEEP AT IT!

Regarding falling back into old habits, I would tell you that failing to plan is planning to fail. Look at your day and make a plan so you know what you will be eating and when you will be eating it. Plan when you will be drinking and how much. I find that I get in the most trouble is when I don't plan or when my plan doesn't work out. Hopefully you are working with a good NUT that has given you your clinic's plan. Stick to the lan and you will see success! YOU CAN DO THIS!
