MinnieSD 35 Posted February 3, 2021 I had my Gastric Bypass surgery in August 2019, surgery was a breeze but have suffered with sickness and nausea for the last year but due to Covid haven’t been able to see my surgeon. Was prescribed Odensetron which helps somewhat. But regardless of the sickness and not being able to keep foods down I do not regret having it done at all. Have lost over 140lbs .

My surgery is 3/25/2021. Can I ask how long it took to get where you are now ? I am so excited for this change but I am also extremly anxious and really want to set realistic expectations. I see some people down 70+lbs in just under 4 weeks and other under 12 weeks. I feel like I have so far to go to hit my goal weight of 170lb. I am currently on the preop diet at 350lb and hoping to drop down to 345 before the surgery. But after getting some great advice on thia forum I am trying not to stress and let the surgery do its job. Any advice or guidance from your experience would be a greatly appreciated 💞 2 Erinleigh and Pilot my best self reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neensyb 111 Posted March 16, 2021 I never thought I'd post pics of me in undies/bikini! But here goes. 20kgs lost so far. I have none of my full body at my heaviest, I couldn't stand to look at it. The two body pics are after 10kgs lost and after 20kgs lost. No regrets at all. 3 3 A1220M, ms.sss, mae7365 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmmm.... i see you are nicely tanned on the pic on the right...were you keeping your scars out of the sun? I forgot I had to do this too and spent a couple vacays exposing them a couple years back (even though they reminded me not to...just forgot). Apparently newly formed scars don't like the sun. ☹️ Edited March 17, 2021 by ms.sss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are so kind, I am pretty proud of how I am progressing. There is a really good site for swimsuits that are good for big busted women (no matter how much I lose my ta-ta's are going to be a size D or DD!) and it's called Baku. They are priced well for Australia and excellent quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have some oil that I keep forgetting to put on them that helps lighten them...my own silly fault really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ANewJourneyAwaits 155 Posted April 5, 2021 Took the picture on the left today. The right was a couple of weeks before surgery. Almost 70lbs down in total. A little of 3 months out. I can’t believe it. I have long legs?! What?! Just prod that even if I can’t see the changes every day, they are there. So thankful I got this surgery. 9 1 james2021, Summermoose, meathead and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
