Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group

I was "tired" for a while. (im 6 months out) Loved me some naptime...... I was not on real food for about 6 weeks........ I was textbook.... no problems.....Good luck !!!

Congratulations Carrie, I can't wait to be on the losers bench with you all.

Great job on the weight loss!

Welcome to the losers bench x

You are doing fine. It does take awhile to be able to get in all you protein and at first it may be necessary to use protein shakes as snacks to supplement. It will get easier. Just do the best you can and be sure to get in fluids and supplements. d

PS Weighing every day is self- defeating and will drive you crazy. I weigh not more than once a week and at doc visits. I had my surgery on the 6th of the month so I weigh on the 6th, 16th, 26th.

Your doing awesome hun!

Feeling about the same as you. Got some sublingual b 12 yesterday, hoping it helps with tiredness.

I havent found food issues except oatmeal and malt o meal. even at applesauce consistancy, i feel like its stuck in my throat and get an ," Wow, that doesnt feel like it settled well inside feeling"


Thats a lot of weight for 2 weeks!! youre doing great..I think its better to lose it at a good pace and eat right so I dont get gallbladder issues than to hurry to get the weight off.

Chin up!

I am one day behind you. I am 13 days out and down 22 lbs. I am tired but taking naps as needed. I stopped the pain meds awhile ago. Everything is staying down and I am tolerating EAS carb control shakes better than anything. I am still with my family in Fl so it is doubly hard healing and not having my home stash. I had a bite of avocado and it was yum.

You are doing an incredible job losing weight. Congratulations!

Carrie, so glad to hear things are going well. 21 lbs in 2 weeks?!?!?! That's amazing. Please know it won't all melt that quickly. Over the year I took to get the extra weight off, I averaged 2 lbs a week (some weeks more, a couple weeks less).

You are doing great!! Have I mentioned that I just love watching people shrink and get healthy?

Thank you everyone for your comments. I am excited that I lost that much weight. Now I am at the weight I was when my son got really really sick back in Febuary. I can't believe I had gained 20lbs, but it happened.
I am going to move my scale so I am not tempted to weigh myself every day. I can tell that my weight loss is slowing down. Which I know from reading everyone's posts here that it is normal, but it is hard to see. Today I think I actually did really good getting the fluid in and felt better. I only needed 1 nap today. After dinner we took the kids to get ice cream and to the park. Of course today they got a new flavor (my favorite) snickers!! But I did good. I got a bottle of water. At first it was hard, but then it got easier and before I knew it we were off to the park!!
You guys are the best with the amount of support you all give each other. I am so glad that I found this site. It keeps me going between support group meetings!!
Thanks,
Carrie :-)
