Hi, Daniel

Just saw this post from you and said if anyone need help.

I'm from South Africa and had my surgery on the 7th March 2016

I don't know anyone else close to me which had the surgery which I can talk to.

My doctor is not much help as according to him I need to almost starve my self so that I can loose weight

I'm currently 7months post op and down 148 Pounds

HW - 476

I feel great and do not have any pain.

I paid in cash for surgery so I did not had to go to Nutritionist or pre op assessments.

My questions are

• What was the average weight you lost per month

• What size portions did you eat at 7 Months

• Did you also get hungry often

Thanks for your assistance

Just want to get some more info to find out if I'm on track.

Hello Daniel,

Patti in Saint Louis, Mo., area had my surgery Nov 8 and doing good. Down 10 lbs.

I have been trying to get someone to tell me what I am experiencing since a lap-band was placed Feb 15, 2009.

Waking up all night long with heavy thick mucous in my mouth, gargling with Water and spitting out mucous.

Primary doc refers me to gastroenterologist and she tells me it is a sinus issue and referred me to an ENT. ENT explained that since I was using a lot of strawberries for my Protein shakes, I was allergic to strawberries.

Talked to my lap band doctor and he was just straight up baffled or just didn't believe me.

So I am still experiencing this issue long after lap band was removed and an RNY gastric bypass was performed. New surgeon says yes it is something that happens with all the adjusting of the stomach, it's called "Frothing".

I am still far from believing anybody. Can you tell me if you have any knowledge of this ?

Thanks from the Lou,

Patti

Hi Daniel!

Looking for some support. I'm north of KC about an hour, though I had my RNY in North Dakota in 2013. Lost some weight, have gained most of it back. I have a support system that wants to help (which is more than a lot of people have) but all their best intentions are, well, wrong. That being said, it is NOT their fault that my weight loss has faltered. Just wondering if you have any tidbits that helped you along your amazing success story? Thanks a lot!

Sarah

Hello!

My name is Daniel. I'm from the KC, MO area. I had a gastric bypass 8/4/15. My starting weight: 504 lbs. This Wednesday will be my nine month post-op anniversary. I currently weigh 280 lbs. I'm certainly not done but I'm doing great.

I'm happy to offer advice or help to anyone needing support. I know there are ebbs and flows; ups and downs; etc. So, feel free to reach out. No two people experience the same path but inspiration and encouragement are universal!

I'll include a starting and recent pic.

Hi Daniel I had my gastric bypass surgery Oct 27th. I'm struggling getting my 60-80g of Protein so can you tell me what are some of things you ate and or drunk to get your Protein intake.

Hi Daniel. Congrats on your success and weight loss! I recently had my surgery Nov 16, I need a mentor. I know the rules but after 1.5 months without earring my depression is kicking in. It's taking a toll on my relationship because I'm so moody. Please help!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
