Yes. Before the weight gain I was a size 7. I went up to 8 1/2 - 9 . I’m 7 months post op and I’m in 7 1/2-8 now. It will go down.

Weighing is definitely important. My surgeon and team say it allows us to see what we are eating and taken in the proper portions so we do not overeat or stretch your sleeve or pouch. I do measure and find it helps me a lot. A friend of mine began to gain... she was not weighing her meals. Unintentionally overeating. Soon as she began weighing meals the weight began to drop again. Good luck and I hope this helps

Thank you, I really appreciate the encouragement!!!

I Absolutely love all my pieces in my closet and have had such a difficult time letting anything go. I am exactly 7 months post op and ... yesss I still wear my pre surgery clothes. I try and alter them or take and have them taken in or just wear it. Lol , my family tells me to go purchase new clothes. I am having a difficult time with doing this because I don’t want new items just want the items I already have lol...... all my shoes are to big and I walk right out of them... I need to purchase items but I am opting on waiting another month or two if I can. I’m roughly 94lbs down from my highest weight. I find leggings, drawstring items or skirts work with the constant weight loss.

Thank you, it’s a work in progress... looking forward to conquering more milestones!

Thank you very much!!!!

Congratulations!!!! That is phenomenal. Great job!

Thank you for the encouragement! I did have my doubts at times as to when I would finally reach that milestone. So I wanted to share with others just Incase someone out there is experiencing doubts as well. Stay encouraged everyone!!

Hello there, how is your journey going? I had gastric bypass on January 25th, Surgery went well. However began to have these servere kidney stones that caused blockages and resulted in two more surgeries since. I suspect it has something to do with the large quantities of protein! Needless to say I’m moving along now. I am down 66 Lbs. every day gets a little better. Just trying to stay focused and remain on track. Hope your journey is going well!!!

Hi there, welcome to the group!!!! It gets better. I had RNY 1/25/19. I felt the same way for the good part of my recovery. I healed a little slower than average as well. It does get better. I worked on my fluids, protein and eating a little more. I was not consuming nearly enough. Once I made those adjustments my body kicked it together. I began to feel better around three wks ago. I’m now down 50 lbs. Stay encouraged it does get better. I also upped my b12. As it helps with energy. Good luck on your journey. I had trouble eating and still do, at these times I don’t even want to eat. But I stick with it an sometimes even end up replacing my meal with a yogurt. Whatever healthy you can get in there.
