New&Improved

Your stomach and surgery incisions are still healing sometimes you won't feel much sensation until like week 2 just take it slowly

Well I'm nearly 8 months out from surgery and been in maintenance maybe 2 months but yes I do keep my eye on my Weight

It is well documented that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery drastically alters the fecal microbiome, but data are sparse on temporal and spatial microbiome and metabolome changes, especially in human populations. We characterized the structure and function (through metabolites) of the microbial communities in the gut lumen and structure of microbial communities on mucosal surfaces in nine morbidly obese individuals before, 6 months, and 12 months after RYGB surgery. Moreover, using a comprehensive multi-omic approach, we compared this longitudinal cohort to a previously studied cross-sectional cohort (n = 24). In addition to the expected weight reduction and improvement in obesity-related comorbidities after RYGB surgery, we observed that the impact of surgery was much greater on fecal communities in comparison to mucosal ones. The changes in the fecal microbiome were linked to increased concentrations of branched-chain fatty acids and an overall decrease in secondary bile acid concentrations. The microbiome and metabolome data sets for this longitudinal cohort strengthen our understanding of the persistent impact of RYGB on the gut microbiome and its metabolism. Our findings highlight the importance of changes in mucosal and fecal microbiomes after RYGB surgery. The spatial modifications in the microbiome after RYGB surgery corresponded to persistent changes in fecal fermentation and bile acid metabolism, both of which are associated with improved metabolic outcomes.

Well how many calories do you think you're eating? But you do have to train yourself to slow down... It took me a while but after throwing up a bunch of times I had to learn...

Totally hear you mate looking back at photos a year ago of myself I don't recognise myself... Congrats!!

Personally I think it's good to be honest and open communication with your children just explain it so they understand there's nothing to worry about.. Mummy is just going to get healthier

Pretty sure each surgeon has their own rules and guidelines they need you to follow even here in Australia I rang a few different surgeons and each one has their own set of rules...

I've watched documentaries where they are treating serious bowel issues with fecal transplant in humans and it has helped... I feel the bypass has totally changed my metabolism and the way my body now processes food like now I'm in maintenance in eating more calories and still staying the same weight where before surgery I would put on weight so easily... It's like I have a thin persons body and mind now

It is still major surgery and your stomach/bypass will be new so I suggest starting slowly on a liquid diet for even a week plz don't rush into solids

Do you have any set goals they need you to hit

Yes need to look closely at your food intake your calories and stuff

I just find all Natural PB

Yes I lived off shakes for months didn't feel the need for food...

Ur surgeon should tell you how many days in hospital

Most ppl have a date then just wait for approval

Yea my own decision. Took a few months to get surgery so I started my diet early protein shakes

Personally my pre-op was like 2 months

Maybe I was lucky or I was just very strict and I lost over 150lbs in like 8 months

Sorry don't know who told you to eat that much I was still only on like 500cal for months. I still eat plenty of protein but low calories I only just increased mine at 6 months

Yeah started at 322 now hovering around 165-168 most days. Feel free to msg me if you have any questions or need a friend with BYPASS

Duo switch should lose quicker bit can have issues with deficiencies more so than a bypass as it is more aggressive. I had the bypass and I've lost over 150lbs already

So you got duoendal switch??

I would go for bypass if the sleeve didn't do enough

Well need to know how much weight you wish to lose or if you have GERD etc
