I had the gastric bypass on Dec 31st 2014 and I'm now about almost 2 months out and I feel great. When I started my journey into a healthier lifestyle I weighed 410 lbs now I'm 316 lbs and still losing. Eating hasn't been bad at all of course like any normal human being I had my doubts and bad days but as time goes by it gets easier and I know I did the right thing for myself. Just sharing hoping to give some positive vibes to everyone out there going through this experience.

Good for you! That's a great loss! It isn't the easiest thing in the world, but WLS has been wonderful for me as well.

You are doing great and congrats on your choice on being healthy. You have to take each day one at a time and focus on making good choice, we already know what bad choices are and what they do to you, when you see how good you feel and the new doors that open up to you that you can engage in , you will be amaze. You can set small goals for yourself as well as rewards and achieve them , for example one goal may be crossing your legs. I have learned to reward myself for making good choices, such as since I go to the gym and work out 2 hours five days a week my reward to myself have been a new dress, new underwear even shopping at the consignment stores. My self esteem has improved greatly and the comments as well as how I am look upon in envy has been new but trust me I am adjusting. This surgery has also shown me people true colors and those people who were not good for me I drop. Good luck.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
