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.
What kind of weight loss can I expect in the first 2-3 months? I'm wondering what kind of shape I'll be in come spring
It all depends on you. If you stay with the program and focus on getting your protein and liquids in that will take care of your nutrition. But you have to move your butt as much as possible to take advantage of the tool you're giving yourself. Yes, the weight will drop even if you don't exercise, but not as much as if you do. It also depends on where you start. I started at 269, so my loss was slower than someone who starts at 369. Also the first month, I didn't understand the get up and move part, so was still being lazy. I regret that and urge you to learn from my mistake. Good luck with your program, sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk!
Hugs! Patricia
