Well I gave up on the group page. I could not figure it out. You could not access if from the phone app. It just wasn't working out for me or the other 27 people who were members. So I am starting this thread. I know there is already an April 2014 post op thread but it's a variety of people. While I totally support everyone having any kind of WLS, our experiences are not the same. Bariatric Pal has 3 sections for that very reason. I'm a perfect example. When I started on this board I used the Sleeve boards because I had every intention of having that procedure. When it changed, I jumped over here to the Bypass surgery forums. So I just wanted to make sure our April 2014 bypass folks had their own thread because we need to support each other and the issues that arise specific to the bypass. I hope that the sleeve and band folks find the same specific support in those forums. http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/384-post-operation-gastric-sleeve-surgery-questions-answers/ http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/152-post-operation-lap-band-surgery-questions-answers/

Thank you! ????

Today, 3 days short of being two months out from Surgery (4/2), I am officially lighter than I have been in 25 years, and I'm very, very happy...

This has been an extraordinary journey so far. Sometimes far more difficult, sometimes far easier than I had ever imagined. So far, very, very worthy of the trip.

Tuesday of this week, I treated myself to a new set of shirts, and a couple of pairs of pants, each of which were two sizes smaller than I've worn forever...

Have a great day everyone.

Anyone eating watermelon? I'm obsessed with it right now. I'm eating it and almost nothing else. I know I'm supposed to do my protein first.. I'm going to do better!

I am loving watermelon right now. It satisfies my need to drink while I am eating

Congratulations Wayne!

Wayne, I know just how you feel! I'm so glad I did this.

Hi. Well not sure what is happening now. I am 7 weeks post op. I am still trying to read my full and hunger signs. The last few days every time I eat I get the heaves. I am also at a weight stand still. I haven't lost anything in almost a week. I am at about 35 lbs. Has this happened to anyone? What did you do?

I have lost around 43, but then I fluctuate and will go up 3 lbs the next day. Of course I'm still weighing everyday. I am also having a hard time understanding my hunger bc I will get hunger pains right after I eat.

Congrats to EVERYONE!!!! We are all doing so well:)

I officially hit my 40lb loss mark and currently weigh 224.2!! When I started I was 264!!! My surgery was 4/23...downside is that none of my clothes fit and I feel like I am stalling...my weight has been fluctuating by 3-4 lbs for about a week now when I was losing 1-2lbs per day:/

My pouch is the weirdest thing to get used to...everything my NUT told me that I would do well with I yack up and things like nuts, straws, grains and cheeses (even melted) go down NO PROBLEM. I can't seem to eat much chicken at all, no matter how it's cooked:/ 1 or 2 bites and I am uncomfortably full:/ but on the other hand, my mom slow cooked a brisket on Memorial Day and I ate about half a slice (probably 1-2oz) with A1 and a tbs of light mashed potato salad. The brisket practically melted in my mouth though. Also, I find it much easier to drink with a straw and my doctor told me that I could:)

I just don't want to get depressed about my loss slowing down, and that's starting to REALLY get to me:/ I am attaching a picture of my self taken the day of the surgery and the next one was taken just a couple days ago:)

That's awesome Jess!! You are doing great and you look great!! I'm proud of your success!!!

My weight loss is a little slower than yours but I'm so proud of all of us!!

It has been a struggle and some days are better than others!! I'm still not 100% glad I had the surgery, but it's much better than it used to be.

What kind of things have you been eating?

Thank you so much! I am proud of ALL of us:) no worries I'm still not 100% happy yet either:/ I fight with eating everyday!! The same things that work one day, don't work the next:/ I am severly bummed that I can't eat chicken.

What am I eating? I don't have like a standard plan, I keep thinks at work that go down easy for me like crackers, nuts, protein bars...and that's usually what I eat through out the day. At dinner I can eat practically any type of food, it just varies on how much of it I can eat. I can eat fish, but no shrimp, I can eat brisket but no chicken:/ my friends dad made breakfast tacos one day and I actually had a few bites of it like a normal person. They were small bites and lots of time between them. I have eaten salad, salmon, mashed potatoes, sweet potato, lunch meat and cheese, grits, crackers and cheese, canned fruits, I shared a grilled cheese with my 2 year old today for her lunch (she ate 3/4ths of it) and I'm planning on making us a low cal flat bread pizza for dinner tonight:) I can also eat barbacoa (the cheek meat only) and crawfish....YAY but I usually only can have a few bites of anything:/
