I had my gastric bypass 4 years ago . Starting weight was 427lbs, lowest weight after surgery was 147lbs . I had my first son 2 years ago and gained 25lbs and lost it pretty fast again after I had him. Now, I have a 3 month old as well but gained around 45lbs with him. Having a rough time losing the weight this time around though I'm a 179lbs now , can't wait to get the rest off again. Once you go through this surgery, you will always think you are big, no matter what size you get down to... Weight will be a personal struggle with myself for the rest of my life that is for sure...
