????Any May Gastric Bypass peeps????

The good and the bad...Today is two weeks after my surgery and I have been reflecting back. The bad...head hunger, eating extremely small portions...about half of what my kids eat, not being able to eat what my wife cooks, restaurants and eating out, limited food selection, weak feelings, nausea, vomiting diarrhea, watching my kids devour s'mores. The good...35lbs lost in 3 weeks, down 2 clothes sizes, compliments from coworkers, no hunger, leaving my plate not empty, new old clothes, feeling healthier, better sex, better example for my kids, looking forward to cycling and running and boating and wake boarding.

I know there are lots of ups and downs and my emotions can be all over the place. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. At least I can see it. Every day is new day and a new opportunity. I am glad to be on this journey.

Hello Andrew

Welcome to the thread. For sure, many ups and downs to this journey.

I believe the ups will outweigh the downs ????

Today is my 2 weeks post op , feeling pretty good. 35 lbs in 3 weeks , hooray ! That's amazing.

Keep up the good work.

Keep posting.

I'm 12 days out. Having trouble getting my Protein in so I have a really bad chest rash now. I still regret the surgery.

I'm 12 days out. Having trouble getting my Protein in so I have a really bad chest rash now. I still regret the surgery.

Something I learned from being on this forum is that different surgeons do different things! For my first two weeks I'm only supposed to work on fluids and staying hydrated. I don't start protein until my two week appointment! It's just odd to me.

Why exactly are you still regretting this surgery?

I'm feeling pretty great today!

I think we should all share our stats with one another!

I will start!

Highest weight : 330

Surgery weight : 321

Surgery date : 5.11.15 (8 days post op, yay!)

Current weight : 305

Hi Jenn

I'll share

Highest weight 245

I'm 5 feet 7 inches tall , I started this process in February so I'm down 22 lbs in 3 months. Never would I have been able to do that in the past.

Wow! So happy for you! I forgot to mention that I'm 6'2!

I also agree. Could never have done this by myself.

Hello all

I was wondering if anyone has or knows of a good bariatric cookbook.

I'm gonna research to internet but just thought I would ask. Will let you all know if I find something good.

Usually when I would diet , I can find and eat the same 5 or 6 food items over and over. Thinking maybe because I am no longer "dieting" but adopting a new lifestyle, may help to have variety.

If you don't have Pinterest, I would get it! They have some great low carb high Protein meals on there!

I'm just using Pinterest and Google searches as my cookbook. Good luck finding one.
