Believe me when I say this is the WORST of it. Stick to your Diet. YOU CAN DO IT!!! and you will be so much happier in the end. I remember I slept a lot during those days and sucked on ice chips. Try to keep Occupied go out for a walk or do something that does not remind you of fodd. YOU WILL BE SO HAPPY AT THE END OF IT. GOOD LUCK!!

I don't have multiple years since my surgery, mine was in July of 2012. Weight loss has slowed down but not stopped. Are you exercising? That is what is helping me. I also use this App on my phone called Lose it ,its also available online. Its a very useful tool. I always remember what they told me "gastric bypass is a tool, It's not a miracle cure". So I have to keep going and watch my portions. Especially now that Im being able to eat more than I used to.

Hi Paul, Im sorry to hear you are suffering from depression. Im not sure I can really relate as you say you have had depression in the past, but right after surgery I felt very tired and I knew something was wrong. I would call my doctor everyday and tell him I wasn't feeling well. He said it was all part of the process. I felt tired all the time and couldn't keep anything down. I was invted to several partys and just didn't attend as I knew everyone would be eating and having fun. Yes I concidering eating fun. Well 3 weeks post op I landed in the ER I had internal Bleeding and was dieing. I had ulcers. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks after that. My suggestion to you is to always listen to your body. If you know and feel something is wrong talk to you doctor don't be afraid or ashamed in any way. As far as what replaces food after I got well, I started walking, keeping a journal of how much I have lost in inches and in pounds. I still have issues when ever I am invited to partys or potlucks at work. But I try to always ask the host at partys if It is ok for me to bring a dish. A dish that I know I can eat. Take walks, talk to people , read books, dance, learn a new language, Anything to help you though this . Belive me it gets better every single day. You will be ok!

Thanks I have not gotten on a bike since i was 10!! this will be interesting or I can probably get an exercise bike. THANKS!

My Doc as well told me to stay away from Day/nightQuil products. Told me to stick to Tylenol. They actually have several Tylenol items that have helped me. I also started taking lots of B12 to build my Immune System

I Stick to anything steamed or baked. Try to incorporate plenty of proteins, Seafood places offer a better variety for me

So, I have gone shopping thinking this would be fun , but nooo, I have no more butt! And the jeans fit me horribly. I need to know if anyone has any good exercises to lift the bum!
