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.
Haha, happy days! Finally broke down and bought some new clothes since I basically had to keep hold of my pants to keep them on. Bought a pair of jeans 2 sizes smaller that what I wore, and they were actually kinda big still! I could have bought the next smaller size! This feels like a win to me... :-P
I've been keeping myself busy, so I have not been on here much, but here is an update. I am now at 311 lbs.(started my journey at 403) and working hard to get under 300 for the 1st time in probably 15 years! I've gotten into a routin now where I walk 1 mile(1.17 actually) in the morning, and then I walk anywhere from 1-2.5 miles in the evening! Will be joining my local fitness center in January as well. Getting my vitamins, protein, and liquids in every day is a piece of cake now.
I guess the only thing that I need are better food ideas? I get bored eating the same things over and over. So anyone have any interesting recipes to share?

You should be able eat anything you want as long as it's good lean protein, vegetables, and fruit.
Tonight we're having pasta with meatballs, I'll eat a meat ball and some salad. I don't eat pasta.
Shelley :o)
Tonight I had: 3 oz chicken breast, grilled in a non stick skillet on the stove topped with 1/4 cup salsa and 1 low fat mozzarella cheese stick sliced up long ways, cover to heat salsa and melt cheese. Transfer to plate and add 2 tablespoons 2% Fage plain Greek yogurt. Top with 4 quartered black olives. Very yummy!
