FishOn, I would really like to see your Weight Loss Tips. I can’t get it to open. Any suggestions? Could you email directly to me? boardlady@netptc.net

I was 65, almost 66. I will be 66 in 8 days. I’m 5 and 1/2 weeks post op gastric bypass. I wanted to have surgery 3 years ago, but insurance didn’t cover any WLS. So I waited to enroll in Medicare. Very happy I had surgery.

Wow! Something to be proud of!

My bypass surgery was 8/10. I haven’t lost for 5 days. Walking 30 minutes/day, water at 64-80 oz., 300-400 calories, and taking vitamins. I don’t know what else to do?

Sorry! Surgery was on 8/10. Typo!

Help!!! Bypass surgery was 8/10. scale has stayed the same for 5 days. Consuming 300-350 calories per day, 64+ ounces of Water, walking on treadmill 3 days per week for 30 minutes and taking all Vitamins. 15 lbs down, but frustrated! What am I doing wrong!

Help!!! Bypass on August 10. scale has stayed the same for 5 days. Drinking 64+ ounces of Water, 300-350 calories per day, and walking for 30 minutes 3 days per week on treadmill. General walking the other days too, taking all vitamins! What am I doing wrong???

You look great! Hard work and perseverance does pay off. Any surgery needed to get rid of unwanted excess skin?

11days post op. What did you take for constipation and how much? How often?

I had to take a swallow test to determine if I was a candidate for sleeve. Turns out I’m not. I had acid reflux and esophagus muscles that would not push the food through. So 8 days ago I had bypass. On full liquids still, soups, yogurt, etc. but, so far, so good. Sleeve-bypass May be your best bet. Good luck!

Frustr8, had RnY on August. No prediet required. One day ahead of surgery all liquid diet. I’m 65 years young. 8 days out of surgery and doing great. Transitioned to puréed soup and yogurt yesterday. So far so good. Good Luck to you.

You got this! Just follow instructions and you will be fine. The physicians and nurses know what they are doing. Trust them.

One week out! Thank you

I just learned of this app. Exactly what I’ve been looking for. I am one week post-op from RnY. So far, so good. Minimal pain, minimal gas. Had my first “meal” after one week of solid liquids. I slowly ate 3 ounces of nonfat plain Greek yogurt. It was awesome to have something other than broth and sugar-free popsicles. Good luck to all of you who are still waiting for your surgery. I am 65 years young and anxious to be healthy. Down 12 pounds.
