I began my journey July 30, 2014 when I was 55 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. At my highest weight I was 247 at surgery I was 237 and I'm 5'1

I was always depressed and hated how I felt about myself. I always thought I was not a very smart person had no self esteem. I thought about having the surgery in 2013 but I felt I was not ready at the time. In 2014 I was tired of being sick and tired all the time. I felt so ready to have the surgery I committed to myself that I was going to get healthy. It was the best decision I ever made! I went from a size 22 to a 4. I am confident for the first in my life I also can think clear and made good decisions. I thank the good Lord every day for my life and this surgery. It is a wonderful journey that I'm on. I had no complications from the surgery it was great! I did have my gull bladder out in March from losing a lot of weight very fast. I love my wonderful very Blessed life! I can't wait to see what the Lord has planned for me next.

You look great!!!!

I had my surgery March 31, 2015. Went into surgery at 229 after doing the shakes.

Am 11 weeks post op and have lost 50 pounds.

Am still having a hard time eating as I don't cook and basically am on the same foods. My husband cooks but am afraid to eat the food.

I hope, by the grace of God, I can be successful too!

Blessings.,,

Thank you everyone. May God Bless you all on your journey as well. I know it's a little hard at first until you get use to eating right and doing the right things then it will become natural for you to do. As you see the results you will want to do better and better each day.

BusyLizzy I only threw up after surgery, when I had my gallbladder attack and in the beginning when I ate to much.

Yes, because I lost so much weight so fast in March this year I had a gallbladder attack and had to have it removed. I'm doing very good now and feel great!

Wow that freaks me out but I'm happy to hear you're ok????????

Did you find yourself hungry in those liquid only stages post op?

Is it true that the sleeve removes the hunger hormone?

I was not hungry all the time and still not. I just know when to eat every 4 hours. I had the Gastric Bypass and they remove the hungry hormone called Ghrelin. Some people I know still get hungry and some don't.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
