Hello! I'm almost 7 years post gastric bypass. Would like to lose about 30 pounds more, but I am happy with my long term results and minimal regain.

Dating is not a problem for me, but I'm thinking that it would be a lot easier, if I could find a fellow traveler! Where's the best place to do that? This site's singles section seems a bit difficult to navigate.


Thanks in advance, for any guidance.

Oh ... and all offers considered. Lol!

Andrew

Well, hi, Andrew!

I'm a Michigander, too, and just six days post-op RNY.

You say that dating "isn't a problem" for you... I've been wondering about post-WLS dating. So much socialization happens over food and alcohol. Do you have any tips?

Thanks!

Many hospitals and clinics that perform bariatric surgeries offer support groups. These groups are not only great for emotional support and advice but also for meeting others who have gone through similar experiences.

      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.
