Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
2 months into a 6 month diet and pre-op program so far. as of the 19th last month i had lost 21lbs in 41 days. kinda haven't been sticking to the diet wholeheartedly since then, haven't gone too far off the reservation, but not watching my fat intake as closely as i should. kinda worried that i've gained some back, i guess i'll find out at my next meeting on the 24th. i still have to get a nutritionist consult and a psych evaluation to in addition to the diet and meetings.
Keep it up and continue to follow your program this surgery is the best tool we can get to help us achieve our dreams of living a full, heathy and fun life.
I am 2 months post op and very happy with my decision of having the RNY. Already lost 49 pounds.
Good luck to you.
Do you have a scale at home to check your weight? I weigh myself everyday if not everyother that way you will know if you gained or not and resorting back to old habbit is just going to take you back to where you started if you need any tips or help this is a great place to ask for it...I have lost 31lbs since April 6th I pretty much ate what I wanted just in very small portions and increased my protein intake and started taking vitamins....I kinda wish I would have ate more bad things to get it out of my system becaue im now on the liquid diet before surgery it came so quick BUT I wouldnt change the start of my Journey for anything...Good luck to you!!!
