Hi, Lovebug. I'm new here as well, had my RNY on the 24th. Glad I found this community, otherwise there are a few things that I wouldn't have known going in.

Hello everyone sorry for the delay response but I am trying to learn how to use the sites.

Yes I had gastric bypass and I am feeling okay so far. I am happy that I did this and I want to be successful.

As for the helpful hint stick to the eating plan they gave you and drink your fluids. Also don't just lay in bed get up and get moving it will help push that painful gas out from the surgery. Also just follow the food plan and you will do great. Also I log in my foods on my fitness plan and mark it private so no one ask why my calories are so low.

Hi everyone. I'm new to this site as well. I had my bypass on July 16th, so far I feel no more pain but still having trouble drinking my Water. I feel like it gets stuck and I have to stop, by the way I am only sipping not drinking to fast. Any word of advise,

Thanks.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
