Hi, I'm 51 and had my gastric bypass September 28th 2016. This has been the Best thing I've ever done.

4 1/2 months out down 59 lbs. Feeling great.

Had my bypass September 28th 2016.

September 28th for me. Doing great, this has been the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Update I'm 10 weeks out from surgery and have lost 44 lbs since starting my two week Pre-op diet. So happy !! I haven't had a stall yet, hoping the weight keeps coming off.im eating around 800 Cal per day and 80 grams of protein.

Your doing Great! !!

You are doing Awesome! !! Keep up the good work!

That's Awesome! !! Your doing so good!

Wow that's great!!!

Yes I was more emotional the first few weeks after surgery. I'm 5 weeks out now and that has leveled off now.

Update... 5 weeks out, down 31 lbs.

What does your plan say? That would be fine with some doctors plans, too little on others and perhaps too much on some (though I can't imagine that honestly). The important part is what YOUR plan says Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App My plan doesn't include calories, just protien goals.

I was wondering how how many calories a day do most people eat after gastric bypass. I'm 4 weeks out and I'm eating 700-850 a day. 70-80 grams of protein. Losing around 2 lbs a week, just want to make sure I'm not eating too much.

I think your doing great, when you can lose 15 lbs per month back to back that's a good thing! Keep your spirits up if you continue to lose at that rate you will be at goal in no time.

Drink protien, eat protien, stay hydrated " water, crystal light,ect" I use unjury protien, it is good quality protien and you can add equal to it if you want it sweet. I monitored my blood sugar levels and decreased inulin as needed to avoid sugar lows. Talk to you primary physician about this. Good luck and remember to keep your goals at the top of your priorities. YOU CAN DO THIS!

Highest weight 236 Pre-op weight 223 Surgery weight 212 Current weight 200 So excited to be able to lose weight and confident that I can keep it off!

Update on my progress, I've lost 12 lbs since my surgery on September 28th. I go for my post -op ppointment on Oct 20th.

I drink sanka decaf coffee, and my protine shake just as cold as can get it. I've not had a problem with temperature. Sent from my SM-T520 using the BariatricPal App

I had my gastric bypass 9/28, got home late on the 29th. I've been able to get my protine in 60 g and 60 oz of liquid also. It's my only job for the next few weeks so i try to be good at it. I start early 6 am and finish late at 10pm. My pain is a little less each day, and to be honest I was expecting much worse. I hate the liquid pain meds I have , they taste so bad. I guess it's good not to like them !!! Getting some walking in everyday and will start working my arms with free hand weights tomorrow. Losing about 1 lb a day so far.
