I am sorry to hear you have no support system where you live. Do you have specific problems that you would like to discuss. I am 3 years post-op RNY gastric bypass surgery. I have written a couple short articles about my experience in the "Weight Loss" phase and the "Maintenance" phase. Here are links:

On your profile, you show that you lost 280 pounds. That is a great amount of shed weight, congratulations.

Congratulations on your success!

According to my surgeon, I should never be eating more than 1/2 cup of food at a sitting.

Welcome to BP!

Hi James, I'm 68 and starting my journey. My scheduled bypass surgery date is June 20th, 2017. I just discovered your information on. The bariatric pal app. I have read every word and thank you for sharing your vast information. I will refer to this along my journey. I have so many questions about Vitamins, how to eat, what to expect. Do you have any information out there how to approach eating right after surgery. All of your great recipes sound like I May have to wait for awhile after surgery to start. Once again, if you have more information, please tell me where to get. Thank BigTee.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
