Calling all March bypass surgery dates!



Recommended Posts

@@swizzle I'm eating between 600-800 calories as well. One or two days I've gotten to 900 or so but that's rare. I have not been exercising, but that's just pure laziness on my part. I need to start though because I'm definitely in need of some toning. I'm starting to look like a deflated balloon!

March bypass here as well. Down 57 since surgery 3/28 and 102 total with preop liquid and watching what I was eating during beginning appointments. So happy with my decision, I feel so much better physically, more energy.

What's a typical day food/drink wise for fellow March RNY's? And exercise? I know everyone is different, just curious.

Typical day for me is a Protein shake or Greek yogurt for Breakfast, salad with a Protein like chicken for lunch and 3-4 oz of Protein for dinner with some veggies. I eat a lot of raw veggies like carrots, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers as Snacks and also have one to two servings of fruit a day. Right now I can't stop eating Bing cherries!

Meals are still fairly small, about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of food per meal

Hi, this is my first time replying on this forum

Had RNY on the 8th March

Surgery weight - 476

Current weight - 374

I have not yet started to exercise

I think having the surgery was the best thing I have ever done.

I have so much more energy than before and sleeping have also improved

I do not really count my calories and just eat small healthy meals

A typical day for me is a Protein Shake for Breakfast, hard boiled egg with hummus and fruit for lunch, Greek yogurt for snack, dinner I'll usually have a lean Protein like ground turkey or chicken and I'll just prepare it the same way I make my family's dinner but I'll just have that. I haven't been able to add much else to each meal, and veggies take up a lot of space for me! But spinach is okay or cucumbers if I chew really well! Lol! :)

For exercise I am kind of addicted, but I try and do 60 minutes at least 5x a week... Most times more. I used to be really active (even when I was 120+ lbs overweight) but it took a few months after surgery to get really back into the swing of things, because my energy level just wasn't there yet!

Hey all! RnY on March 16. First consult weight was 328. Surgery weight 300 even. Current weight...

220lbs. Ahhhhh! 80 lbs yesterday since surgery. 108 overall. I just...I can't believe it. I did not expect to lose this much, this fast.

I've only just recently started getting better about exercise. I'm going about 4x a week. I'm determined to do a 5k here in Phoenix in September, so I'm stepping up my gym and treadmill time. I can't believe I'm even saying that. It was always a dream, but didn't seem possible.

food wise, I've been cleared to return to a "normal" diet, but I still have trouble with some things. I have a Premier Protein shake for Breakfast, generally a leftover Protein and some veggies for lunch and 3oz of protein with veg and sometimes a little starch (sweet potatoes have been HEAVEN). No real dumping, although I was bad last night and tried a few spoons of my partner's ice cream. That was a big NOPE from the pouch.

Hope everyone is well!

I'm down over 100 lbs since rny on March 7. I've also begun to hit the gym (6', male, down to 306 lbs from 410 lbs and a peak of 432 lbs). I started lifting weights last week. I lifted on a 5-day split for 20 years, maintaining a solid 190-210 lbs on my frame before some health issues started the downward spiral. I'm doing a push/leg/pull split on M/W/F with cardio on T/Th/Sa and rest on Sunday to provide adequate recovery. I'm surprised at how easy it was to navigate my workout at my old gym! My calorie intake is now up to 1400 per day with 80-100 g of Protein. I'm vegetarian, so most comes from dairy, Beans, grains, and the rare egg. I drink a supplement on occasion. I'm able to eat salads again. Some store-bought veggie meat replacements still don't sit well, so I avoid those. I ate a bean tostada from a taco place yesterday and loved it! It was only $0.89 and I was full, lol!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
