If you’ve had gastric bypass in the last few months how are you doing? How much weight have you lost? Any regrets or pleased with your decision to go with the bypass?

I drink my 64oz with Propel water that has 15g protein, 0 cal, 0 sugar, 0 carb. Had surgery on 8/28/20, no discomfort, no pain. Liquid intake finally hit the 64oz this week. It took time for me to reach this goal. My goal is decreasing my BMI to 20 or less. BM x1 per day thus far. I avoid any sugar or soda to avoid dumping. Got Propel water from Sam's club.

July 17th was my RNY surgery! I’m down near 45lbs since starting my program last September. 20 for surgery, 25 after. I’m tolerating most foods with exception to Greek yogurt and beans. I am aversive to water and protein shakes in the AM. ☹️ but pushing through.

I’ve had some mood swings and light hair loss. I am feeling pretty awesome and my clothes are getting pretty big!!! My goal is 125, my start weight was 213 so I have just about 43lbs to go!!! I should mention I’m a shorty measuring in at 5’1”!!

Yesterday makes 3 weeks out for me and I weighed in today at 28 pounds. I'm 3 pounds away from being back under 200 and I can't wait.

Awesome!! I did 20lbs prior and 25 since surgery! I just hit my 1/2 goal. I have a hard time getting things down in the mornings but am able to eat drink better after 11. I’m wearing “normal” size clothes for the first time in probably 8 years!

Congrats ???.

August 18, here. Am down almost 40 lbs. Yay me. Lots of fluid retention due to CHF. Hoping I will start losing again. I wind up vomiting a lot because I drink to soon, or eat too fast. So, going back to the WLS bible and getting it right.

Hi mominman I had gastric bypass on 11 August. Im doin ok, struggling to get the Protein in, freaked out the I have Hair loss already !

Mairead,

My RNY was August 20 and I also already have hair loss. All my research says it’ll come back when nutrients level out. Don’t panic

My RNY was 8/31/20. My starting weight before the 2 week preop liquid diet was 220lbs. My weight day of surgery was 211. Was in the hospital for 2 days. CW is 189. I have lost a total of 31lbs. I am 3 weeks postop. No nausea, just a bit of discomfort when I drink water. Still on stage 2 liquid diet until 9/22. Starting my walking plan today. My goal weight is 125lbs. Im super excited!!!

Hi hi :)
I had my RNY August 26th - down around 25 since surgery and 70 in total since HW. I finally feel like myself again - I can’t wait till I am clear to workout.
No complaints, still getting the hang of eating. The biggest struggle I am finding is that I have no desire to eat but still will continue to eat what I am suppose to and get my protein in.
