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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
