New Me 31317 25 Posted April 28, 2017 I am six weeks out from bypass… Feeling very discouraged, only 23 pounds lost, dealing with major Constipation and can hardly eat anything other than yogurt and cottage cheese… I hope I didn't go through all of this for nothing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redmaxx 740 Posted April 28, 2017 It gets better. Try to keep a positive attitude. 23 pounds is a lot in just 6 weeks. Give yourself some credit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Navigating the Wilderness 824 Posted April 28, 2017 Instead of 'growing pains', you are experiencing 'shrinking pains'. It comes with the surgery, Don't give up, it will get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New Me 31317 25 Posted April 28, 2017 Thanks all. I have been pretty positive before and since my surgery so I think the emotional part is just catching up with me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crocodoxie 223 Posted May 2, 2017 Prior to surgery, think how thrilled you'd have been to lose 23 pounds so quickly. Perspective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dredfern 24 Posted May 2, 2017 Make sure to get all of your liquids in, that will help with Constipation. Also walk as much as you can, that helped me tremendously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
