How to know if you've had gastric bypass (Funny)



Recommended Posts

You live in Texas and for the first time in your life you have SWEATERS on your Christmas list!!!!

You go through the drive through at Sonic and when asked "Do you want the foot long or regular size?" you immediately come to the rationalization that there is NO WAY you can finish the foot long!

Merry Christmas Ya All and God Bless!!!!

I had a GVS but I can relate! My fanny hurts from sitting. Never in a billion years did I ever think those words would come from me. I can still compete with Kim Kardashian but as I shrink my bones are telling me not to sit long. Thats a good thing! ☺️????☺️

Liprippa, I can so relate to sweaters in Texas. I live in the Waco area and it was 50 degrees outside when I went for my walk this morning. I was wearing a jacket, knit hat and gloves! I'm 12 days post-op and haven't felt warm yet! I expect that as the weight comes off the cold feeling will only get worse. I may actually have to buy a real coat this year!

Oh the cold! I live in MICHIGAN and had surgery in November!!!! I wish I had known better, I should have done this in July! I have to wear double socks, one pair for hunting just to go see a movie. I am constantly under a heated blanket at home, and I now wear three layers to leave the house. I have an outdoor job so I am dreading my return to work.

Me too. I am always cold! I find myself crawling under the covers earlier too. Just freezing!

I can relate to both the cold and the sore rear! I live in Minnesota and let me tell you, I have had a heated blanket in my living room since 2 weeks post op. I am always freezing. My behind gets sore, what the heck! I have lost about 65lbs so far but I still have some junk in my trunk, I do not understand why my butt hurts. I have a 6 hour drive home from Wisconsin to Minneapolis tomorrow and my rear is already sore????

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
