I had a gastric bypass in November 2016, lost 70pounds and kept it for about 2.5 years until I fell and broke the hip. Since than I gained about 25 pounds. Now I am trying to loose weight, but nothing happens. Any suggestion.

I am 3 months post op and always feel hunger. Trying to eat small portions 4-5 times a day. My problem is to consume enough water. Does anyone feel hunger?

Do not worry, I lost 11 pounds as well on 2 weeks liquid diet and the doctor said it is good. After the surgery I was losing 2-3 pounds a day, when I moved to the purée stage, weight loss went down, was losing 1 pound a day. Overall for 3.5 months I lost 44 pounds.

And good luck! I am 3 months after the surgery and feeling great, best decision ever!

Try vitamin patches, you can buy them in the BariatricPal store, I have multivitamins, B12 and D3, feeling great!

That was my problem, still have it, not every day, though

It is individually, for some people yes.

Do not worry, I had the same, just be patient and sip water every 5-10 minutes.

It happened, after certain time the weight will go down

I was sleeved 11/16

I am 2 months post-op, so far doing ok, lost 38 pounds since started 2 weeks pre-op liquid diet. HW 241, CW 209, but always constipated, does anyone have any suggestion? Thank you all. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all for your suggestions! Very helpful! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on 11/16/16 and experience the same thing. Do not be encouraged, you are doing great! First pounds come off easier, after first 15-20 pounds which is more Water, you loose much slower, it is better for your health and more steady loss. As long as you weight goes down, you can be on stall and than it will jump down more. Be patient. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@annanim, I understand that your father worries about you, we all want the best for our children, but the decision is yours and you have to decide what is best for you. I am almost 62 years old, have diabetes, BP, did the sleeve on 11/16. We all have our doubts and worries, but I look at the people who had the procedure 3-4 years already and the results are great. So read, think and decide. Do not forget, you are doing this for yourself, not for somebody. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
