Hi everyone I had my bypass surgery 1-11-16 . And I have to say it was the greatest thing . Dr said get out of bed to get rid of all the gas and walk the halls . So I did and it helped so much . Couldn't eat at the hospital but was able to drink ally Water so all was good . Second day went home . Now four five months later still having problems eating certain meats. But I can actually love to get on the scale. Love to see it go down instead of up . By the way when I started off I was 289 and 5'3. And now I'm still 5'3 but 217.2 it's not helping my back yet but I'm praying .

meats can be very hard on the stomach. I tended to stay with softer foods such as chili and Soups. meat in this form goes down easier. I have included some recipes at the end of the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
