I can't wait to see the after photos! Your recovery is going great! Prayers for continued complication free, speedy recovery!

You look amazing

It seems like a lot to me, but check the food/eating plan your surgeon or dietitian should have given you. I know I did not eat bread at 3 months out (although I do occasionally now, at almost six years out), and those sub buns are HUGE, even the 6" ones. If I'd have ordered a sub, I would have just eaten the meat and cheese and ditched the bun.

Hi @Lola2122. I’m sorry you’re feeling so lousy. Yes, I had a terrible time with nausea right after surgery. Lots of puking and dry heaves. If you’re not already, hold a pillow against your abdomen when you throw up. I put a bowl on a counter so I didn’t have to lean over too much. Definitely contact your surgeon. I met with the nurse practitioner who sorted me out. I received IV fluids in the office for dehydration (made me feel a little bit better). I was prescribed the scopolamine patch for nausea which worked 100 times better than the zofran. And they did a CT scan to make sure nothing was wrong with my insides. Nothing was, but it gave me great peace of mind. There’s no reason to let this go on without a little medical help! For me, the nausea subsided by about day 7 or 8, and I think I only threw up once or twice after the office visit. I could feel I was on the path to mending once I saw them. Call them right now, and good luck!!!

If would be really helpful if you populated your profile data....start weight, current weight etc etc it gives people context to the questions being asked. I don't know if its too much, but if I were you I'd be eating to my surgeon's and/or dietician's post op guidelines. I am about nine months post op and depending on the foods I am eating I can eat a whole lot or very little. I generally try and keep my meals to about 1/2 to 3/4 a cup, but if full fluids (eg soups or smoothies) one cup. I can do one slice of bread with cheese...but that is a danger food for me so I typically avoid bread and cheese, also before my procedure bread and some breakfast cereal gave me a lot of acid reflux, so I avoid them now or try to.

I finally started to drop 😊 12 pounds total so that equals about a pound a day. Hoping it continues to drop!

Yes that’s exactly it. I feel like I did an intense workout. Thank you!

sorry for derailing this thread, but when I took that picture, I didn't realize how wrinkly my head was. I have loose skin everywhere, including I guess the top of my head.

Way to go, girl! Congratulations! It truly is amazing to get your life back!

I had my original surgery Gastric Bypass in 2008 and it was successful, I went from weighing 345 to 190lbs, through the course of 10+ yrs I’ve had 3 children and gained weight, I went for the revision last week, from what I was told I won’t loose as much weight as when I got my original surgery... but everyone is different so I’m hopeful. surgery was Oct 16 and I went in weighing in at 237lbs as of today I’m 228... so it’s working wonderfully and I’m feeling better.
