Can someone direct me gastric bypass implementing keto

Hi ladies, well its out. smooth recovery. I understand your worries, those are mine. did I learn good eating habits in these two and half years. I cant answer that question. when I was able to eat, I ate a lot. the one good thing I did learn to do was excercise. I work out 5 days a week. water arobics M-Th and on saturdays I take a two hour class that vary's from zumba, arobics, kick boxing follow by core and free weights. my thoughts on this whole process have been excitment, anger, frustration. I dont regret any of it

I never asked the question, I will find out tomorrow. I'm done with weight loss surgery at this time. gastric bypass was never an option, it scares me I'm actually looking forward to a normal life. no more eating soft foods, going the whole day with only protien drinks and then over eating when I could eat. my goal is now to maintain the 60 pounds lost and being mentally and physically healthy through excercise and eating properly. I was starting to lose it, the band took alot out of me.

hi ladies, I will be having my band removed this Monday due to kink in tubing and esophagus dialation. my stythoms also included night coughing and coughing after meals. dont blame your self. the coughing is due to a too tight band. basically want happens is the food sits too long in the esophagus causing it to stretch. I dont know what problems this can cause and dont want to take any chances. I was going to have the port and tubing replace but decided at the last moment to have the band removed.

Hi ladies, its been awhile since I last posted. I seen the doc. today and decided to have my band removed. I was scheduled for port revision in april and the week of surgery changed my mind. I should be having surgery in the next few weeks. I feel its the best choice. The past year and a half have been difficult, I was vomiting, burping excessively, coughing and basically unhappy with the whole thing. I'm still taking my Water aerobics class and have lost 10 pds. I'm getting stronger and now taking classes on saturday. they can vary from kickboxing, zumba, ect. ladies keep up the good work. Sandy

I'm still waiting for my port replacement, no date set Sherry, what did your doctor say about pouch dialation? is the the same as eshopagal dialation. can it be caused by overeating? I think I should sit down and have another talk with my doctor how exciting about your plastics. my goal was to get down to under 200 and have a tummy tuck, but at this time I need to focus on this band and figure it out what my next step should be. I cant believe how much I'm enjoying my water arobics class, I also am doing free weights 3 days a week. I found some great routines in the March prevention magazine. I will continue to be positive and take it a day at a time.

Hi ladies, I just got my florascopy(?) results and have Esophageal dilatation that can be caused by a too tight band and to make matters worse, I have a kink in the tubing attach to the port so my doctor was unable to remove any saline. I made the decision to have the tubing replace, minor surgery and take it from there. I have good news to report, I joined a water arobics class 4 days a week and am feeling so much better. I want to thank all of you for your encouraging words. I still dont have access to a pc and can only check in occaisally. keep up the good work.

ladies, went in to get an unfill and quess what? it seems that my band developed a slow leak. I did'nt understand because I've had problems with sliming and some vomiting. nothing major, just bothersome. The dr. has decided to have an x-ray done to check for slippage. I'm so disappointed. I started to cry. I will find out next week. I have 2 options, replace my band or gastric. I had told myself prior to surgery, that if I developed any complications I would not replace the band. I dont want to do? I dont want to gain any weight. I dont want to be fat again, yet I'm scared of any further complications.

hi ladies, I happy everyone is doing well. I have not lost any weight in the last year and have decided to have my fill removed. I need to see if that will get me back on track. my plans are to go on the Atkins low carb. my goal is to lose these last 40 pounds. I hope this is the right decision

Hi Ladies, my zumba classes are going well. latin music and dance. I'm happy to say that I have lost about 4 pounds. at my doctors advice I am keeping a food journal. he wants to me eat 60 grams of protien a day. it has been difficult, the only protiens I'm familar with are eggs, cheese, yogurt, slice deli meats, nuts and of course protien bars or drinks and after a week of eating the same thing, becomes routine and boring. My next stop was the nutricionist and he gave me some really good information, comparing soft foods (soups, mashed potatos) and hard foods (chicken, tuna, fruits and veggies) he reminded me of portion control and chewing my foods well. I love boiled eggs, but they tend to get stuck, solution mix with a little mayo. He wants me to introduce more fruits and vegtables and recommended dicing up my foods. its worth a try.

its been awhile for me, congratulations to all you and your fantastic numbers. I'm still struggling with my weight loss, the first year was great and after my unfill back in dec/jan, its been a struggle, but I am still full of hope, that the weight will start dropping off again. I 'm having fun right now with "zumba" classes and am seeing the inches coming off. I wish everyone continued success Sandy

Hi ladies, its been months since I last checked in. I have no new changes to report. I lost my mojo 6 months ago. no exercise, no self control. I wished I never got my unfill back in Dec. I been back to the doc. and cant find my sweet spot. I am so frustrated with myself and have lost all my motivation. and on top of that I gained close to 2o pds. does anyone have any suggestions ? I'm really considering by-pass
