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.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
