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.
HI, my name is mike I was 699 at my highest. I am now 240. I had GBS RNY. On Jan 18-2011. Hear go's nothing lol. I hope it go's well. It has been a long time in the making, I had surgery in Wausau WI. At aspris Wausau Hospital. So far so good. --
4/20/14 I am roughly 4 years out and a 240 LB. I need to get my mind straight and back on the right path, there are so many ups and downs post op. Which eventually lead me astray from my goal! I'm going to try to get back to the basics: I've learned a lot of long the way, but there's one thing I learned in paramedic school, when under stress and you don't know what to do keep it simple stupid and it will come to you! Here goes nothing!!!! And yes I know its been a while and miss you all. Some may not know who I am Some KNOW I'm a veteran. Either way, we're all here for the same reason! Wish me luck, please I need it> MIKE

You are right. Keep it basic and simple. 70+ grams of protein a day, water, no drinking with meals (or 30 minutes before/after), avoid white foods (rice, pasta, bread, flour, sugar), move as much as you can, and get at least 8 hours of sleep each night.
If you haven't already looked it up, you might want to google the "5 day pouch test." I've heard a lot of people use it to get back on track.

Nice to meet you
