I had gastric bypass and developed complications. I had an awful surgeon. He never told me exactly what he thought was wrong. I was in excruciating pain and couldn't eat or drink. He said he thought one of my intestines wasn't functioning.

He reversed my gastric bypass and converted it to a sleeve. The pain went away.

After that I switched surgeons and my new surgeon said my gastric bypass probably didn't need to be reversed, that is was an issue with my intestine being too short. Anyway, that's what happened. I'm a rare case.

Wow! That sounds awful. Thanks for sharing your experience with us

I wouldn't recommend ice cream yet, I was feeling great (sleeved 11/9/15) and decided I could have a little bit with my son and I seriously paid for it the rest of the evening.. Definitely learned my lesson.

Also be careful with the frozen yogurt (the kind by the ice cream, not the kind that you buy as yogurt and freeze at home). My rule during weight loss was to eat nothing out of the frozen dessert section (or any desserts). If something looks like a dessert, it's not something a person who is actively trying to lose weight should be eating.

I judge not. I had ice cream at about a year, and again 2-3 times since then over the course of 27 months. There is also a really great frozen Greek yogurt that I convinced myself before surgery was ok to eat. I haven't touched it since.

If you want to use yogurt, you can freeze the Greek kind and then toss it into a smoothie. Healthy, lots of Protein, and much more limited in sugar than the frozen Yogurt that you find next to the ice cream.

I have never tried to freeze yogurt, not sure why just didn't realize it would work. Thanks!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
