My name is Hannah. I am 23 years old from the DFW area. I am 3 days post op. I had gastric bypass surgery on 12/16/16.

My highest weight was 465 and I had to lose some weight before surgery, so when I weighed in on the day of surgery I was 419! I haven't weighed myself since surgery. I figured it probably wouldn't change much in just a few days.

The only post op struggles I am having are gas pains. I also scared myself a bit when I drank Water the first time. I drank far too much and felt like I was dying. Not a fun feeling!

I am a little hesitant about my journey. My boyfriend broke up with me right before surgery after spending the entire 8 months before helping me prepare and sharing tips and tricks with me. I'm worried I won't be able to do it without his support, but I know there are support groups I can join.

Let me know if you've just had surgery, too. We can be buddies!

Welcome to your new life!! I had surgery in May/2014 and really had no support because I didn't tell anyone about my surgery!! But since, I assume, you did this for yourself, then you can do this on your own!! You have this forum which I didn't know existed till recently, so you are one step better off than I was. Be prepared for hormone changes as your fat cells dump stored hormones into your system. You'll do great!!

Walk, walk walk. It helps get rid of gas. You will do fine. You have your own support. You have a goal. Keep up the good work you are doing this for you and any one else. People are taken out of our lives for a reason, You will see the reason soon and say Ok. Thank you.

Hang tough...things will get much better. Just concetrate on small sips of water. Hydrating yourself will be key from here on out!!

Love your dress!

Stick to the plan and you'll do great.

I had bypass on 12/9, and I've already lost 22+. I was convinced I wasn't losing any weight, but of course I did. I'm 24 and was 458 when I started.
