Hi, I'm a member of this site and absolutely love the people and support I've found here. I'd decided to have the sleeve, however when I met with my surgeon he suggested the gastric bypass. He does...

Best of luck to you! Stay strong!

I had surgery 8 months ago and I'm still not hungry. I used to be a terrible diabetic and am completely cured. The only thing I experience is low blood sugar so I'll eat to get over the weak feeling....

I was told it was ok to take mine with a sip of water. Best of luck to you!

It took me months to get past this stage, but hang in there because it will get better. Now it's GAS and I mean there is no holding it back. LOL I can be leaving the checkout line or walking in...

Please call your doctor tomorrow. I had my surgery just shortly after yours and I'm doing great. I can drink pretty much all I want and there are only a few things that I can't eat. My thoughts and...

Hi! I had my surgery a little over 6 months ago and I'm able to drink pretty much now. I haven't tried to drink a bottle of water without stoping, but I can drink as much as I'd like and I get pretty...

I'd speak with your surgeon and see if he'd write a letter of recommendation saying it's medically necessary due to back, leg, or joint pain. Also, diabetes and other illnesses help. In addition, the...

It took a while for me. I've lost over 100 pounds and I went from a wide to a regular width. I haven't gone down a size just yet. Great job on your weight loss and well wishes for continued success!

I had the gastric bypass, but I have 5 small incisions like those that get the sleeve. Feel free to message me with any questions. I'm doing great and couldn't be happier!!!

You will love your new life! I actually had the gastri bypass, but the foods etc. are similar. I feel like you'll do fine, even after meals. I'm never hungry and do not feel weak even though I eat...

Remember everyone is different. However, with your determination and hard work I see you being able to reach your goal! Try not to weigh too often like I do. Keep focused and best of luck!

Call your physician and double check because I was sent home with pills. I would cut them in half until about two weeks after surgery and then I was able to swallow one pill, but had to wait 20...

Awesome job! Woohoo I'm so happy for you! Be sure to tell your wife I said hello and how excited I am for her and her progress too. I think it's wonderful that you all have been doing this together!...

It definitely gets better. Just remember to get your protein shakes in and take your vitamins. You're doing great! Best of luck as you venture on.

Awesome! I'm so excited for you! There was a guy that had the surgery the same time I did and we keep in touch. It makes us so happy to be able to shop at more stores now than ever before. I even...

Awesome! I love it when I find a good deal! Always nice to find something new that we can have.

Hi, I had a gastric bypass, but the diet and meds are pretty much the same. You're able to take pills, but you have to space them out and may have to cut them in half. I wasn't given any antibiotics...

Feel free to message me if I can be of any help!

I had my surgery November 20th and don't come back here as often as I should. My best advice is GO FOR IT! I'll be 50 next month and I wish I'd done it when I was in my twenties. I have a 15 year old...

It must be late and I feel so STUPID! I just realized it was you. lol Past my bedtime. Either way it's good to see you and yes, they say any seafood is good. Oysters and fish have done well for me...

Hi! Crab meat was the easiest thing I was ever able to eat after surgery. I cheated and tried it 4 weeks after my surgery. To this day I have to limit myself if I decide to dip it in a little butter....

Could you be having caffeine withdrawals? I've heard that will do it. I had back pain after the surgery, but it was off and on. They say gas gets trapped in there and it can take a while to work...

You'll do great! Best wishes as you start this wonderful new journey!

Awesome! You've done an amazing job! I can't imagine no longer being obese. Continued success as you reach your goal! Congratulations!
