Hi, had gastric bypass on 05-10-2013. Was not fun the first 2 wks. Had trouble getting in protein shakes and water.. Water is still an issue. Little tedious always sipping. Have had no major problems advancing with foods, Never dumped, and I eat fruit. Like 3 or 4 strawberries or half a banana, I have had pineapple and pieces of apples. Mostly when I am not trying to get protein in like yogurt or cottage cheese, I eat little bowls of steamed spinach, almost every day with spinach or kale and even broccoli. Everything feels fine inside. I have been having an issue with my shoulder blade, but that is years old. Been sitting with ice pack back there. Think it is a little bursitis. When I say everything is fine inside, I have been lifting weights and doing cardio for 3 wks. My doc said I could do anything after 4 wks. I had been just walking til then. When he said that I took off like a shot. My stomach is good, no issues there, other than I can't guzzle water like I used to. So I hope everything stays good and I can continue to do what I do. So I can lose what I need to. I am also 49, so I know I have to work harder to get what I want. Thanks for reading.

wow. I"m at 6 and half weeks. No problems , nothing like what I am reading here. Guess am lucky. I puked once, was my own fault. didn't chew enough and I clogged up. Well it came back up after 20 min. Don't ever want to repeat. The pain!!!!

I also had to lose 10lbs b4 surgery. It is a liguid diet for 2 wks. And yes your doc wants to know if you are committed to losing weight.

Got on my new favorite cardio machine at gym. Arc trainer. Burned 530cal, went 1.3 miles for 45 min. then did weight lifting for 25 min on different machines for back, shoulders, chest muscles and an ab cruncher for a few min. Don't know how many calories I do lifting weights. That cardio machine is fun. I was getting sick of treadmill.
