- Howdy all!It has been a long time since I have been on here. I am not over a year post surgery. My weight loss has slowed down quite bit over the last 9 months, but that is not a problem. I am down from a size 32 to a size 14! I am still trying...
- I had the Ru-en Y Gastric Bypass back on 0ctober 16th, 2013. I was 299lb and now I am at 224lbs. I dropped quickly the first few months from October 16th to January 16th down to 246lbs. So 53 lbs in 3 months, so an average of 17.6 lbs/month. . ...
- For those of you post-surgery, how far out are you and what is your calorie intake like now? And do you still have weight loss happening? Or if you are in maintenance now, what is your calorie intake like?
- I am 13 weeks and two days out from my gastric bypass surgery and 60 lbs down. I am officially a hair under 240lbs (my scale is an old spring and dial scale) and it is going very well. I have had very few issues really, compared to what I thought...
- My 7 week surgaversary was this Wednesday. I started out at 299 lbs before my all liquid diet and prior to surgery. I am now a few pounds below 250 and less than 50 lbs away from my first goal weight of 200lbs! Still have problems eating protein....
- This is my 3 week surgaversery plus 16 days of a pre-op liquid diet. I started out a 298lbs before the liquid diet am down to 263lbs for a total of 35 lbs in the 5 total weeks. And for an NSV, I am fitting comfortably into a size 22W pair of...
- I feel so much better. I have have energy to do things and I feel alive for the first time in a long time! I am not nauseous and sick feeling (unless I do something stupid and eat something with carbs), my joints are not aching and I am not puffy...
- While out grocery shopping, on the way back to the car, I had to push the cart with one hand and use the other to keep from letting my shorts fall down around my ankles. These are my favorite shorts, unfortunately. But, hey, I will take it! ...
- Nearly two weeks out and I only know I am full when I get this last swallow and it starts to ache. Is this so full it will start to stretch my pouch?
- Week two post-op and ate my first bit of egg today. Only a few bites, like 4, of a flat, omelet-like cooked egg with a tiny sprinkle of cheese and a bit of diced baby tomatoes. But here it is 3 hours later and I still feel the lump and slight pain...
- I am at the one week mark and doing very well health and mobility wise. I can bend over and pick something off the floor, do dished, walk around the block, go shopping, drive, etc. I stick to the clear liquids first rule of 48 oz before having a...
- Every time I take a sip or swallow after surgery, I feel gas pressure and some pain in my stomach. I usually have to burp, too. Is this the gas from the blowing up of the abdomen working its way into my stomach and when the liquid hits it,...
- Why do they tell you to drink out of the little 1oz sip cups after surgery? I was not able to, as I don't have any place to keep them from the new puppy getting into them. She has a real bad habit we are working on breaking her of of getting into...
- My lithium capsules are to big to swallow, so I have to open them up, but they cause a great deal of burning and immediate nausea. I can't take them. The same goes for my metformin, which the second night I tried to cut up into little pieces...
- It is day 3 already and I have been sleeping at night pretty well. They had me up about every 4 hours at the hospital and I did the same last night at home to take my meds and to walk a bit. Slept a little to well and went past my med time and was...
