Bypass +Hiatal H+ Barrett's- Two Months Out from Surgery

[Deep6 66]

I had my two month anniversary, and second post op exam/meeting. Bloods good, I lost 35 lbs so far, but one of the drivers for me was Barrett's and the GERD I was experiencing is largely gone. I still take an H2 blocker as a precaution and got cleared for real exercise, not just walking. (Had a hiatal hernia that got repaired).

I gotta say, having done this, I couldn't be happier. Yes, I'm still trying to draw lines but the surgeon said to measure portions, even though his dietitian does not address portion size.

I think it is important to have resources as you go through this, not just for support, but for info. I consider this such a place.

I'm far more mobile and agile, can do stuff I couldn't before because of oversize/bloat/weight. I'm fitting into clothes that I couldn't. Not that this should be a reason, it's just a benefit.

Congratulations on doing so well.
I had a bypass over 5 years ago & I still weight my food at home. I never go over 3.5 oz. I do 2 oz of Protein & the rest in veggies or fruit.
You have a great attitude & will do well.
