Hi! I had a gastric bypass here in Houston, TX back in November of 2015 - on the 24th to be exact! A day before Thanksgiving! I didn't see a running post for November Bypassers so if you know of one, please send me the link so I can see others' progress!

Can you list your starting weight, your loss a few months later, and your loss right now in July 2016? Curious how we all are doing! I know each of us will be different depending on a lot of factors, but I'd love to see if we are similar too!

Me - I'm 41 years old, mom of 3 - had a FT job

Weighed 234 on Nov 24th, 2015

Weighed 200 on March 5th, 2016

Weight 169.6 today, July 1st, 2016.

My goal is 135 but I'm only 5'1'' so it really should be 115 but I don't want to get crazy!

Has anyone gone back to any old eating habits? I used to drink a zillion sodas.... now when I drink one, the bubbles taste funny so I don't like it and don't drink them. I drink a lot of iced tea and flavored waters - no bubbles. Kind of boring, wish I had more options. Tried to have a small bowl of vanilla ice cream and was very sick for 2 hours after so never ate that again! I'm JUST NOW tolerating greens for salads.

I am about 7 months out from surgery now with 65lbs lost. No exercising yet as I have scoliosis and a lower back disc bulge I'm getting PT for - via a pool therapy. Hoping to feel better soon so I can work out and get rid of the flappy skin hanging around!

Anyone else want to share experiences? I'd love to connect!

Thanks!!

Hi . I had my surgery Nov 10th. My weight on the day of surgery was 347. As of today I am at 231. I focus mainly on eating Protein and vegetables. I don't do any bread, Pasta, rice, or potatoes. I could do better with drinking Water. I like to snack also, especially at night time. Snacking is my weakness. For exercise I mainly walk. I started off in a pants size 26, and now I'm in a 14-16 .

It's a difficult but liberating journey. Best wishes.

I had mine October so only a month prior. I started 279. Now 156. I will say I been having it rough though I love dessert and notice I don't get dumping whatsoever and can eat whatever I want! Not good!! But trying to stay on track and hopefully just have a dessert once a week!! Anyone else having issues

Omg you guys!!! Both with a loss of over 100 lbs! Uh oh this is where I get discouraged! ???? I know the number isn't everything but my dr always wants to look at numbers when I see him.

Reading both of your replies has got me thinking -- and this is a good thing! I think I've fallen off the wagon a bit and this is a good wake up call. I've got to watch those carbs!! So addictive!!!! One thing at a time I guess-- I gave up soda and man that was so hard for me.

Thank you so much!
