August 2014 gastric bypass check in.



Recommended Posts

Has time been flying by. I'm still learning my new pouch. I still get Diarrhea about twice a month from to much sugar or fat. I have a very low tolerance to both and I don't always see the trouble coming. Other than that I feel great. My pants sizes are shooting down so fast I have only one pair to wear. I just went under 200 pounds, which to me was a milestone. I love the changes and I see I carry myself proudly. I hope everyone else is seeing the same thing I am and the best of luck in reaching you goal.

My calorie intake varies from day to day but it's mostly under 900 calories. How about your calorie intake? I don't exercise much because of a bad back so it's all on what and how much I eat. I expect, hope (fingers crossed) to be at my goal weight without to much trouble. I'm in a stall now too and anxiously waiting for the scales to start moving again. How long has yours lasted?

The clothes thing is really a challenge but one I am very happy to deal with!

I haves dropped 4 sizes and am close to needing a smaller size in pants already!

I have gone out and purchased a few pair only because I travel so much lately. I just don't want to buy too much because I know I am going to keep losing.

My calorie intake is between 650 and 800 and I exercise every other day but stay very active on the days I don't. No sitting my behind on the couch all day!

Congratulations on your progress and good luck with your weight loss goals!

Hi everyone! I had my bypass in August 2014 and am down 70 lbs! I am feeling great. I am off high BP meds and acid reflux meds. It was the best decision ever. I just did a major clothes donation and purchased new clothes. it was a neccessity though since they were way too big now. Blessings to all of you!

I guess I need to post lol. Almost 5 months out I am down 103 pounds overall (I lost 11 pre surgery). I am very happy with my loss and only another 60 to go until I'm at my goal. It's been hard at times but totally worth it. I'm down to a size 16 from a 24 and I've gone down to a size 40 bra from a 44.

The only thing that stinks is my hair is thinning severely. I know it's only temporary but it's still aggravating.

Keep up the good work everyone!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
