Hey everyone! Today is exactly 4 months since my gastric bypass....I have lost exactly 50 lbs since surgery and 80 lbs total since I started this journey....I had a very rough month of April battling horrible diarrhea and then constipation! Finally for the past few weeks now I'm starting to feel somewhat back to normal [emoji3]....I have yet to start a regular exercise routine ...I know that's bad!! If only the weight would fall off as fast as my hair is lately! [emoji15][emoji37] Anyway..I would like to thank everyone for helping me along the way with any advice you have given to me...I find a lot of great information here...along with some humor and drama...makes for good entertainment at times...lol

It took me around 6 months to reach my "happy state". Good luck on your journey.

Thank you!

Thanks for the follow up. I'm only day 4 postop I'm glad to hear there does come a time where you do feel normal again. It gives me hope

In the month of April I had more moments of "what the hell did I do?" Then not....I felt like it was never going to get better....but it has! I have a lot more energy now.....can eat more variety of foods and a bigger portion. I use to fear eating out because I was afraid of dumping. Now I have learned to order things that I am comfortable with and enjoy going out to eat with my hubby and friends occasionally [emoji3]

That's so awesome to hear Thecloude1! I can't wait to get there. Eating feels too much like a chore right now and zero energy. Definitely feeling the 'what the heck did I do to myself' lol
