June 29th Bypass Surgery

How's it going everyone? I'm wondering at almost 6 months in if anyone is having any setbacks or issues?

I am at a stall but am hoping I jump out soon. I have had horrible bloating and gas pains for going on three days. Any advice on getting it to mosey on its way? I'm a 1st grade teacher so I'm always walking. The gas just feels "stuck"

No setbacks or issues going on here. Things are going really well. Losing has slowed down, but is still happening. I've lost about 35% of myself (about 118 pounds) at this point.

Hey ! This past month has been at a stall for me, only losing a whooping 3 pounds ! But in fairness i started a new habit called chips... Yep, stupid. I got off the chips and back in the gym with the trainer for the last week and the pounds are dropping again.

Sorry you're having gas pains, I wish I had a helpful tip aside from "let it go" lol lately I'll randomly get a sharp/burning pain in the area where the internal stitch is after eating, has that happened to you ?

Hey people, random question here...

Any of you at some point start feeling super tired really fast and/or had that "I wanna faint" feeling ? I've been experiencing that the past week and not sure why. Everything I consume is hitting me extremely faster than before. Like wine, or coffee. Within minutes I'm tipsy or super caffeinated. I completely forgot about the Vitamins and have started taking them for the past 5 days but I'm not sure if that's what's causing this.

When I get up I get lightheaded now. Idk if it's from surgery or not, but it lasts for a few seconds then goes away. I'm having a hard time remembering my vitamins! So bad!! Down 75 pounds since surgery and I actually fit into cute clothes at target now!! So exciting! I also noticed that some days I'm so hungry, while other days I could care less if I eat. Still small portions which is fantastic, but my eyes are still bigger than my stomach.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
