Hey! Introductions



Recommended Posts

Hey all, I am 24 yo from Australia. I'm also new here.

My surgery is set for 24 November. Im Super excited, it's been a long three years I've been preparing for it, financially (as I am self-financing) and equipping myself with as much knowledge about it wls, particularly gastric bypass.

I know support is important. I hope to make good friendships here as this can be a lonely journey especially if you don't have people around who understand what you are going through.

I had the gastric bypass and the first days in the hospital were hard but when i got home on the 3rd day i felt better. And for the food i dont know why i only crave for cold things. Hot things like broth or tea makes me nauseas. But know im on phase 2 of the diet i can eat purees and it felt good. With the purees i kind of feel like full but i also started to have that hunger feeling that i didnt have with just the liquids. But really i feel great maybe because i Was expecting some hard recovery but i cant complain [emoji4]. And how about you? Do the y switch your diet al ready? And i really hope your pain is getting better

Oh that is comforting to know that the recovery is not bad[emoji5] . Thats interesting that you have been craving only cold food. At least the puree stage has a lot more texture. What are your stats if you don't mind me asking?
I haven't had surgery just yet. I'll be having the mini gastric bypass on 24 Nov. As current, I'm trying to lose weight bit by bit.
HW 140kg
CW 137.7 kg
Goal weight before surgery is 125kg.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
