I didn't either! I knew about Facebook groups, but I've heard some of those are pretty awful. I'll take a look at Barination and YourOnederland. Thanks!

New to the group, had my gastric bypass surgery on March 2, 2022 I just wanted to know if anybody else developed hives after 3 weeks post op?

My surgery is in the morning for the sleeve cant wait Sent from my SM-A326U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello lovelies! Nice to meet everyone! I'm new here too. Just had my surgery on the 25th, so I'm 5 days post op, and I'm doing pretty great! Much better than I thought I'd be, lol! It only took a couple days for the gas to leave. And 2 days ago, I noticed my taste seems different and I feel like there's improved mental clarity (or less brain fog?). Has anyone noticed little changes like this?

You’ll likely get this anyway in the immediate days post op. But again, it only lasts a a couple days.

It depends on lab work. The tests can tell the surgeon/dietician how well your body is absorbing the protein. Some people for various medical reasons don't absorb protein well. It can also depend on which weight loss surgery you choose. The malabsorbtive type surgeries can cause you to not absorb protein/vitamins as well as before surgery. That's part of the reason follow up labwork is so vital to your success. So sometimes your protein/vitamins have to be tweaked.

I struggled with BED for about six years before I got help. It does not include forced vomiting. That is bulimia. The most difficult part of the disorder for me to overcome was the cycle of overeating at night, followed by food restriction the following day and self-loathing thoughts. It was a roller coaster of emotional eating. I had intense therapy called EMDR to help heal childhood traumas and deal with depression. Once I discovered the root of the problem or “triggers” for overeating, I was able to face it and fix it.

This has opened a whole pile of repressed memories and I am having trouble writing about it. This is my 3rd go at it. I have had a lot of therapy because of my mothers idea of fatness, whilst feeding me the most unhealthy food and telling me to empty my plate or I would get it every meal till it was finished. It happened. The day before she died of cancer, weighing about 50 pounds, she admitted that she had finally got to her perfect size ! I am the person who always tells friends and random strangers that their clothes, shoes, hair, and make up are fabulous . This is because of the nasty remarks people have said to me. A kind remark does wonders to some ones ego and I can not understand why a person would want to be so cruel and say something so negative. It has made people Anorexic or Bulimic or in some cases kill themselves. I would never want that on my conscience.

I am new too and we are surgical buddies. Mine is on March 31st as well. I am super nervous but ready to get it over with and change my life for the better! Prayers all goes well!

I was told by my surgeon that his NHS waiting list was three years, he did my operation privately within 4 months of my initial consultation and that was only that long because he gave me two months of that to quit smoking. I know it is a lot of money to go down this route but for me it has been worth every penny.
