Well that is a serious over reaction my friend. My grandfather, my father, my cousins, my husband all Navy so no need to suggest I am not respectful of our armed services. I am just trying to prepare you for real life. You are 2 months out. Slow down. Learn to live with your new stomach and take every persons views good and bad to heart because we have been there. I hope you stay. It is a hard road with no support system

I know a lot of people like you. Newbies who swear up and down they will follow every rule. Who go gun ho into the possess. The ones who Jump into and swear by cross fit and a new pure life. They are usually the ones who fall the hardest. You can read and do research and you can post about it but wait. Just wait. I challenge you to come back to this post in 2 years. After you have learned your body and you have made your mistakes again... And again lol This is not meant to be mean. I love your spirit. But you are at the start of your journey. The glory days. You have not felt with the stalls, the deficiencies, the hair loss, the hanging skin ( though it has been comical hearing about your ass). This is not a sprint. It is a marathon. Slow down rabbit. The turtle wins, every time!!

I am 3 years out and can still not eat more than 5 bites of anything. If it was not for my morning latte I would not be able to keep down my protein powder. On top of that my iron levels are extremely low due to the fact that I can't eat any meat at all. I had to have 2 blood transfusion on the table during my c-section 11 weeks ago.

Sugar is so weird for me. I can drink a latte and be fine. I eat like 5 raisins and I want to DIE.

I am in Clovis CA. FRESNO Heart and Surgical has support groups, never been.

I would dump and have the foaming puke stuff after even a tic tac consider yourself lucky lol

I have been talking on another weight loss forum since before my surgery but it kind of just up and died and so I thought I would find a new support system in you guys. I use to weigh 368 pounds and I am not shy about it. I had 4 kids then years of unexplained infertility. Since my surgery in June 2012 I have had two beautiful girls. This time I have not bounced back as fast. She is only 11 weeks but I have broken some Cardinal rules and I was thinking about doing a 5 day pouch reset. Well here I am...

I was 368 the day I went in. I had the roux en y got pregnant 5 months later and by the 18 month mark I had a new daughter and was down to 155 pounds.

I had surgery in 2012 Single Birth (baby #5) 2013 Single Birth (baby #6) 2015 I am 37 (increased chance of multiples) I have had multiple pregnancies (increased chance of multiples) I do not think there is a correlation. I think it is more genetic and or drug induced.

I too gained almost nothing 5 months out and pregnant. This last pregnancy I gained 50 pounds and wanted to cry. WLS 6/12 Baby born 9/13 Baby born 10/15 She is 11 weeks. I have 30 pounds to go.

I started at 368 and my goal was 215. I ended up 155 with bones and spine sticking out. I just had a baby and I am up to 190. I would like to,get down to 170 ish. My doctor is pushing for 140 but come on, this is just gross..

Please remove post. I had to redo it. Sorry.
