Hi everyone who is having surgery in October 2014. We can start a new topic for those of us who have had surgery already.

This is the spot were we will all end up, were we'll share our stories and recovery. It will be a new dawn for so many of us. Let's stay close as united we will conquer anything that comes our way!

Thanks Luna!! Talapia I can handle, not salmon yet. Tried it twice, no go. Talapia is alot milder. I have tried chicken beasts too, I can handle about 4-5 pieces and I'm full. Haven't tried beef yet.

It's good to be treating your belly careful for now. I did that for a week and a half and I'm sure it helped.

oh salmon. It was such a painful experience. Tilapia is a great source though!

Been lucky as long as I keep it to 3-6 bites when it is solid meat I can eat it Ground beef... no problem. Buffalo is best. Weight is inching down. Sure like having this blog. It shows me I am neither alone or crazy... :-)

Hey ladies and gents. I've been on the gastric bypass fb page, it's interesting. Anyway I'm down to 213 lbs, slowing inching down to onderland, I joined a gym so Monday will be my first official workout after work. 2 days ago I went shopping for my daughter's birthday. I decided to try on some clothes to see where I'm at. I could fit into the size 16 in misses, the women's size 16 was a bit too loose in the belly area. The misses 16 was a tad too tight for me, I suspect in the next few weeks I'll be in them. Here's a pic of the size 16 misses.

Hey Bronxi! Haven't heard from you since the last bleeding episode! Just want to know what's going on, how you are. I'm praying for you!

ok has anyone heard from her? hope she is doing ok.

My boyfriend told me I was looking pretty sexy yesterday, little better than calling me skinny butt. He is not big on the complements, so made me feel good.

ok has anyone heard from her? hope she is doing ok.

@Bronxmerci. She's on my mind this Sunday as well. Sending Prayers her way.

No thinking of her...

I, too , lately have been getting sick after ingesting meat. 8 weeks out. At a stall

it doesn't hurt to try vegetarian sources for awhile. Just giving you an idea ❤️

I got a glimpse of myself in a store window today and said "well I guess I have lost some weight". My husband keeps telling me I have, but I didn't believe him until I saw for myself. 50 pounds in 7 weeks, I'm ready to lose the next 50 just as fast!

Eight weeks out tomorrow. And lately I'm always hungry. Today is my birthday. And I spent it at home because almost everything I ate today was making me sick. Funny enough the tortilla chips didn't bother me at all. But now I'm hungry again.

Sorry about stuff making you sick BUT HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I hope Bronxmerci is ok too! Praying for her! Happy Birthday @@layknee

I have found a new snack that my tummy loves, they are Multigrain hummus garlic tortilla chips, with a little sweet onion salsa...omg so yummy! I had half a cheeseburger tonight for dinner, a few fries with it, all made at home...and I didn't get nauseous from it, but I think I had just a couple bites too many, cuz I was just uncomfortable for a little bit after. I had to pace back and forth up and down the hallway so I didn't make myself "think" I was going to throw up. I tend to dry heave alot when my tummy feels icky :-/ Tomorrow is Monday tho, so I'm hoping to hear back about the liver stuff! On another note, sorry if it's tmi lol, but this last week and a half or so, I've been moving my bowels somewhat normally, without the help of any suppository lol. I still take my Colace once, sometimes twice a day, but that's it. It's a relief!

Is anyone craving fresh veggies or a fresh salad??? I'm dying for cucumbers and hummus, or some nice crunchy carrots, or bell peppers or celery...I want a nice fresh salad with fresh veggies and a little grilled chicken, some cheese and honey mustard dressing. Mmm....3 months is going by way too slow!
