Hello September group!!! It’s been a year. How is everyone? How has the journey been? I’ve had some ups and downs. Still trying to figure this out. Down 92pounds. Hope everyone well. :)

Hello everyone!! It’s funny because the other day I was thinking about my September bypass buddies. I’m doing good. Down 55lbs since surgery. I struggle with eating slowly too but I try to catch myself and slow down. I have menta struggle with the process but I’m going to see a therapist to help. Hope everyone else is doing good.

Congratulations MMME!!! Keep up the great work!!

MissPoodle, I have been walking. A little over 2 months I had an emergency gallbladder removal so I’ve been restricted to walking and treadmill. There are videos on YouTube that you can follow that are short and sweet. At this point I don’t think we need to go too hard on exercise. At least 30 mins of activity to start.

Planochick, congrats on your weight loss. The mental side is such a struggle. I have had stalls, gains and loss. I’ve had dumping syndrome. I had my gallbladder removed earlier this month and everything just slowed all the way down. I definitely have been going through the mental side but just remember to go back to basics and I know I couldn’t lose more than 20 lbs before the surgery before I gained it back. Just remember to step back and try to regroup.

Sleevedshereen, thanks for responding. I was worried.

I had my Gastric bypass 7 weeks ago. Before the surgery they saw a lot of gallstones and like you I would eat and have to run to the bathroom. My surgeon said it was not that bad and we can remove it in about 6 months after the surgery. Fast forward last week I had a bad attack which was the pain in the right side that radiated to my back. I also had bad dry heaving and vomiting. I went to the ER and they said we have to take it out now. So please have a conversation with your primary and surgeon.

Sleevedshereen, did that sensation end. I had my gallbladder removed last week and had the same issue. im 7weeks post op RNY. I was worried also. please let me know

I’m 3 weeks out and still have issues with both. I try to suck on ice for the water and protein I try cottage cheese, some type of meat for lunch or dinner, eggs and shakes too. You will get there.

Looks similar to my meal prep.

This week I had a couple days where it stayed the same or didn't move at all. The next day the scale moved. I weigh everyday which is not good but I want to know what is working and what is not working so far. Maybe it was the about of fluid. Did you urinate a lot or maybe you might need to number 2. Sorry to be gross. BUT DONT BE DISCOURAGED. I was and I had to snap myself back.

My surgery was Sept 24th also. You are right fatigue is quick after any walking or going upstairs too fast. Thanks for the feedback.

Good evening everyone!! Hope everyone is doing well. I am wanting to know is anyone still feeling light headed and out of energy? I am trying to move as much as I can but when I do I am out of breathe and lightheaded. I have trouble reaching my protein and liquid intake. Any advice will help please and thanks in advance. :)

I am darker but mine look about the same. the incision is fine with some darkness around them. They are itchy but not horribly itchy.

Hello everyone, I had my bypass on Sept 24th and I had a doctor follow up this week and he stated I can start eggs. So this next morning, Wednesday I had 1 scrambled egg and I couldn't finish because I started having this feeling like it was stuck in my chest, not tightening of my chest but stuck. I walked around for a few mins then drank some water after 30 mins same feeling with water. It been happening with everything except for popsicles. So I have not been consuming too much because of the feeling. Anyone experiencing this?

I have good days and bad days. I get nauseous easily. A little sore from the incisions. But better than the first few days.

The gas pain are intense. They make you feel soo bloated.

I have been having a hard time sleeping. I tried both sides and stomach. Stomach is my normal sleep position. no side is good and still wake up in the middle of night to adjust myself.

Thank you!! it was a rough first week. But I am getting better. Thank you this site has been helpful.

Mine was Sept 24th

Thanks CRD1981. You will also be great.

Im having surgery tomorrow. I’m nervous but excited.

Good morning everyone!!! I just went to my first appointment last week. Doc advised me to start a 6 month diet. I haven't met the nutritionist yet. Just wondering what did you eat? How was it? Any advice on what I should be doing? Thanks in advance!!

Thank you all for the advice. I was trying to spell mth but my phone decided to autocorrect. Lol!!! I am going to set an appointment up with the nutrients for more info.
