I stall all the time!!! But I just keep drinking water and getting my protein in and then out of nowhere I drop lbs again. Just keep doing the program and it will eventually come off. If there is anything I have learned is that the human body is very unpredictable!!!

I have to see nutritionist 1x a month for the first year after surgery. I plan on seeing them every month for the rest of my life this way I stay on track. My insurance didnt cover my surgery so I dont want to waste my money not being successful!!

Muscle and fat weigh the same. Fat just takes up more space then muscle.

I had pain in the same area after my bypass surgery. I knew it was from the surgery because I had the same pain when I had my appendix out. I laid on my back for almost 2 weeks to sleep and it finally went away.

I have IBS-D and I went with gastric bypass. It is true they cant predict if it will get rid or lessen the effects of IBS but with my gallbladder removal at the same time I am now only going to the bathroom once a day instead of 3-4x’s a day and my stomach feels much better. You will still need to stay away from the foods that trigger the IBS but I feel much better since surgery.

I had gastric bypass and was back after 2 weeks. I am a dental hygienist and have a physical job so I was a little tired the first week back. Now I feel back to normal. My Dr cleared me to go back after the 1st week but I took 2.

You can get teal nauseous if you are dehydrated. You might just need an iv bag of fluids and then the nausea might go away. I would seriously consider the ER if your Dr office wont get you in.

I did not have any other obesity issues except being overweight and I am 42. I have a bad family history of diabetes and that alone made me make the decision to do gastric bypass. I also had to pay for my surgery as it was not covered. I have tried every diet under the sun and workout regularly and still couldnt get the weight off. Just be honest with yourself and realistic as to if you really think you can make the life change necessary to keep the weight off. I could keep it off for yrs and then when anything drastic happened in my life that got me off track I would gain it back and have a hard time getting it off again. Its not always as simple as eating bad things for me it was not measuring my foods or being to busy to plan ahead that had me gaining. I am just 2 wks post op now and so happy I did the surgery. I went into it on the healthy side and had no complications and an easier recovery because of it. I am down 19.6lbs since surgery. With all this being said the healthier you go into surgery it should he an easier recover.

I am cleared of all meats 4 wks after surgery. It amazes me how different every Dr is with restrictions. My only restrictions are carbs and sugar!!

So I had Gastric Bypass surgery on dec 7th. Got to go home the next day. Hardly any pain just gas and nausea but still not able to protein drinks yet just water and popsickles.

Dec 7th for me also!!

Im a dental hygienist and 2 main things will cause dental problems 1is not getting the proper vitamins and acids from the stomach can be very damaging to the teeth. I always tell my pregnant pts to rinse with water after they vomit and try to control acid reflux. Dont brush directly after getting sick it will brush the acids into the teeth wait about 30 minutes.

I am having surgery Dec 7th. I live in New York!! The pre-op diet wasnt alot a fun but glad its almost over!!
