Curious to hear people's stories of gastric bypass....

Had surgery on March 25. Lost 35 pounds before surgery and 20 in the last month since surgery. Have had no problems. Hardest part now is drinking enough Water and eating enough Protein. Once you stop drinking the Protein Shakes it gets very hard to eat enough protein because at this point I am full after 3 or 4 bites. Last night I made these delicious chicken meatballs. Ended up only able to eat one. It is a huge adjustment from the way I used to eat. I miss eating some foods but overall am thrilled that I did this.

Hello, I had the bypass 4/8, so I'm a little over 2 weeks post op and my starting weight was 342 lbs and now I'm down to 324 lbs. I'm not gonna lie its not easy but if you put in the work you will succeed. They weren't joking when they said the surgery is just a tool. My reason to have surgery was due to being diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes. I didn't want that for myself. So when I got diagnosed with that last June that was my wake up call that I needed to make some changes. I hope you decide if this is best for you because I don't have any regrets.
