Information Overload !



Recommended Posts

I have researched and read so much about Gastric Bypass Surgery, I think my head is gonna explode. I literally don't think my brain can hold anymore knowledge about anything related to Gastric Bypass. I have been waiting on a approval, and in the meantime I've been reading others journeys and any other information about the surgery. I have been doing this for months already, but when I got to the stage where I am waiting on approval, I need to fill my time so I research, but I am officially all researched out. At this rate by the time I do meet with the surgeon as he is explaining everything, I will be sitting there thinking yep yep, cause I will already know everything he is telling me. So I think for now I will "TRY" to stay off the Gastric Bypass sites and groups I've joined on Facebook. Seeing all this surgery talk just keeps me anxious and I am already impatient, so that don't help, especially when I am constantly reading people saying tomorrows the big day or my surgery is in 2 days, although I am happy for them, but it gets me all worked up on my own situation and this is becoming to stressful, while I am waiting on a approval, so with that being said I am staying off the social media sites that deal with anything Bariatric. Good Luck to all in your individual situations, as for up coming surgeries I pray you all have a safe and successful surgery, and a speedy recovery :)

That's a very good idea! I too am a hard core researcher but it only gets me all worked up. I'm a major hypochondriac so my most recent vow is to stay off of web md. It makes me crazy.

Good luck and it will all work out????

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
