I had my surgery on 8/23 and am looking for someone to exchange experiences with. I'm from Rochester NY and there aren't many support groups. Thanks

Hi Heather

Thanks for responding!!! I actually have good energy, I was most tired until about 2 to 3 weeks out. The supplements are really helping, my surgeon told me to take Flinstones chewables but I switched to an organic vegetable based Vitamin. You may be tired if you are not getting enough fluids in or Protein. I am on the soft food diet now but I've tailored it to meet my own likes, I'm a very fussy eater. My struggle is more mental, I'm of Italian descent and much of my socialization was centered around food so I want things that I can't have right now. And boy would I love a huge Hershey bar right now,LOL What types of things are you experiencing?

Hi Caylyn

So good to hear from someone that had their surgery at Highland. I'm curious to know how your experience has been. I had Dr. O'Malley, I haven't had any complications but I feel like it's been a slow process. I guess I just expected the weight to come off quickly, I started at 311 at surgery and am now at 280. How have things been for you?

Ann Marie,

I'm glad to hear you have energy, that has been one thing I've been lacking. I know I haven't been getting enough Protein. But lately my problem is non hunger. I don't feel hungry at all. If my husband and I go out to eat we order one plate and I get to eat my little portion and he eats the rest it works out for us

Hello fellow bypasses! I'm

Sarah and had my surgery on May 20th. Weight lost to date is 9 stone. Main problems are feeling cold most of the time and then sudden sweats and sickness after most foods even if it's lettuce! The cold in this country isn't great to start with but I'm sure there's more to it than that! Does anyone else feel this way? DUrham, England

I had my surgery on 9/28 in NH. I am feeling pretty good. I had a wedding this past weekend, and that was pretty tough to deal with while eating my yogurt and baby food! I was also super tired when I got home.

I had been averaging about 1.5 pounds a day loss since the surgery, but it slowed at the wedding. I went into surgery at 279.9 lbs and am currently at 269. I can't wait to eat regular food again!
