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.
1-13-2014 - My how time flies when your having fun....NOT!!! Well, as of tomorrow I will be back in the gym with my lifting partner Tony Abbondolo and I am soooo looking forward to it. Guess I will have to go through all the soreness again (which sucks) but, hey, "no pain no gain" so I guess I will have to suck it up and do it.
On another note as of this morning I am down to 345 and the pounds just keep coming off. Now watch the weight really fall off when the weight lifting begins again...
As far as the rest goes, I'm doing good. The tunnels in my stomach have not yet held yet but they are almost healed. Surgeon said I can exercise (or weight lift) so I am off to it.
So to date from Nov 6, 2014 to today 1-13-2014 I have lost a total of 68 pounds. 33 pounds to go and I will finally let my family and friends see me. My goal of 200 pounds is almost half way there in just a couple of months. Damn I never thought this would be possible.
Till next time, sip, sip, sip drink your protein, eat right and at least walk and you can do it too...

Side note - Please don't get discouraged/frustrated if your weight loss actually slows as you begin liftingyou will probably increase the rate you lose fat but you will be adding weight by building muscle. I lost a lot of muscle during my year of weight loss.as a woman, I was okay with thatI don't need as much muscle to move through the world as a 125 lb woman as I did to move around at 300 lbs ..and I still have a higher percentage of muscle than the average woman.
- anyway, just something most people don't think about. Enjoy the burn!!
Totally worth it!!
