I would love to find a couple of blogs where I could follow some bypass stories from the beginning through a year or two. Any ideas?

There are a lot of video blogs on YouTube on the subject. I especially enjoy starting with the first one and then taking a quick look at the last one, just to get a great idea of the amazing difference, and then I'll go back and watch the middle ones. I've watched so many over the past year I couldn't give you a specific one.

I do really enjoy Clusie's videos because she is hysterically funny, but she had the sleeve, not the bypass.

As far as written blogs, just do searches like: Gastric Bypass Blog or Gastric Bypass Journey, and similar variations.

Good luck.
