Hi .I had Gastric bypass 4/19/2017. I believe I'm doing ok so far but truth is this has been a struggle trying to do it alone. I've been on this forum as a spectator since starting on 2 wk pre op diet. It has been a blessing to be able to hear the success stories as well as to see the support and encouragement for those who may even struggle like me.

So here I am forgetting yesterday starting today on my journey to great health . Any and all support is more than welcome and greatly appreciated.

I'm really a newbie so please help abbreviations

Starting weight 350

Pre op. 298

Current weight 286

Are they any guys on here who are being successful? I think I could use a big brother right now.

I don't know all abbreviations but here are some:

HW = high weight
SW = surgery weight
CW= current weight
GW= goal weight
DS = duodenal switch
RNY = Roux-En-Y = gastric bypass
GS = gastric sleeve
NSV = non scale victory

I'm having a blank trying to think of what other abbreviations you'll see. Do you have any that you've seen and want to know what it means?
