it has been about a month and a half since my gastric bypass surgery.....so far i have lost about 40 pounds post surgery and until now.....i have a lot of throwing up if i eat too much or too fast...i was told by the doctor that it was a learning process as to what to eat
Hey guys, I'm 62 yrs. old & my surgury will be 2 wks tomorrow. When I came back from recovery I was walking, the next day I did 10 laps around the ward & the next &7 the next b4 they sent me home. Its tru you cant eat a lot & the protein omg makes u want to puke, its better mixed with fat free milk & 1 T of peanut butter, but this is life changing surgury so just hang in there, keep moving, taking your vitamins & your going to be a size 10 or smaller soon. Good luck.
good luck, i had my surgery 9 yrs ago, weighed 375 got down to 152, then had tummy tuck & have gained 40 lbs back. I lost 27 lbs in the 1st 7 days & 95 in the 1st 9 weeks. I cried whole 1st year COZ I was so hungry & nothing I ate would stay down. i couldnt eat anything & even after 8 yrs I still throw up pasta, rice and fried foods including grilled burgers & steaks BUT I WOULD NOT TRADE ALL THE PUKING IN THE WORLD TO GO BACK TO WEIGHING 375 LBS. REMEMBER YOU KNOW WHAT EVERYTHING TASTES LIKE!
hey you go girl.... I just got mind nine days ago and I have cried like three time because I can not eat. I am so confused. Cool video and support team.
My surgery is in 10 days... but I'm really struggling w/the preop diet. Thus far have been compliant - lost 13 pounds in 4 days. But I'm afraid I may break down. The smell of popcorn, chicken, etc., when I'm preparing them for my child is just KILLING ME.
@LydiaSpunkys check out the raw food diet because that is a very good diet for veightloss. and also it is very smart to check out the sideeffects with that gastric bypass surgery.
@LydiaSpunkys just hang in there!! i know its hard but you can do it!! im 24 and i had my gastric bypass done december of 2010 on new years eve and its been a year now and i lost 140 pounds! its worth it just hang in there!! and p.s. i didnt have as much pain as she did...
Gastric Bypass? REALLY? I was looking up Advocare success stories and this is what I found! Gastric Bypass I WOULD NEVER DO! 1. Gastric bypass essentially puts your body into starvation mode causing your metabolism to slow down much like an anorexic's would. 2. You can kill yourself from the surgery! Is it worth the risk? 3. Now your metabolism is real slow, have fun gaining all the weight back PLUS MORE!
Hey Jenna. You're a crack up! You look hot as a skinny chick. I got a lapband last night and feel fine today. I cant wait to see the weight drop off. I like watching your videos bc it seems like you still party but keep the weight off. Sounds good!
When i did the gastric bypass it was really easy, actualy when i woke up i asked the doc if he did something cause i felt no pain at all....i think everybody is different, hope u are blossoming now...
hey my name is emily i am 18 and i am 350 pounds and i am so scared if you could i need some support if you can email me it would be great i what to know more about it i have a doc apptment weday thanks and eneybody els i would like it very much emily2010g@yahoo.com
My husband and I both had this surgery on the same day 3 1/2 months ago. The first two days after surgery were the very worse!!! I think your recovery really depends on how skilled the doctor is. Both my husband and I were up and walking around (slowly) the house on day three. I had quite a bit of gas pains but after about six days the misery was over!! The message I just wanted to let everyone know is that everyone is different!!! Please don'[t base someone elses' experience on your decision!
i'm scared now :p i'm up for surgery in 18 days, still can't believe it!
i hope i'll be one of those people who don't have alot of pain :p anyways, it's worth it, at least i hope so. thats what scares me the most, not losing weight after surgery. thanks for the vid, it's a huge comfort!!
@wannagetfuckedup Hey there! I know how you feel, I'm actually scheduled today at 11:30 am! its about 2:20 am right now lol and I can't sleep... Im soo scared!! I guess what scares me the most is the pain too,,, well I wish you luck and a fast recovery!
@cassandraasl1 Oh Don't be scared, I was sooo terrified to because you think of the worst thing that can happen... But make sure you have friends/family there who love and support you it eases the nerves and makes you feel good... Im not gonna lie coming out of surgery/waking up was kinda scary thank GOD for the morphine!!! lol i was in a lil pain but not as bad as i thought it would be... But everything will be ok! :)
i had my surgery done at ALSA medical group. i went in for surgery at 10 am. i woke up in some mild pain. i was up and walking around 4 pm and was dischared at noon after my surgery day. i hardly needed pain pills. i am 1 week out and i am feeling perfectly normal. i'm just starting to hate that jello.
hey Jenna, well I did it and I am 2 weeks out of surgury and i am so tired of liquids can u give me some ideas to get over this ,cause I am starting to get emotional..and how much did lose the first two weeks!!! thanks Jenna and congrats on ur engagement!!!!
My Mum had hers 3/4 days ago now, and watching this made me cry, I couldn't be there for her :( Seeing you in pain and so low made me realise I could have done so much more to get to the hospital to her :'( I'm so happy for you, you're a BEAUTIFUL lady :) xxx
Thanks for being so honest about the pain and everything. OUCH! I felt so bad for you post-op! I hope you've got a follow-up video... The women in your family look amazing - very youthful!
I had the RNY two months ago and hardly had any pain at all,two days after the surgery i was telling the dr. no, no,I dont need it.The pain medication. So maybe its who you get to do the surgery. Be careful there are a lot of butchers out there only wanting to make a dollar!
The best of luck to you! your video was so helpful and you did a great job for other people to see. I hope you are doing well and all your dreams come true. Stay healthy! My best, Paula
I shed 100 lbs. in one year after Roux-N-Y. No longer have high blood sugar, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or sleep apnea.
Went from a size 28 to 14, and men do check me out when I walk by....hmmm.
Girl, get ready for the upsurge of energy...You look like a very upbeat person, so you will be more perky than Katie Coury as you progress in your WL journey.
I hope everything is going great! I loved this video! My surgery was last tuesday so I know exactly how you felt lol...It's no bueno...But it will be fantastic in the long run. Keep being awesome!
hi Debbie from Australia i hope you are well and well on the road to your new journey thanks for sharing your most intimate moments looking forward in seeing more blogs from you congrats on making that step my surgery is later this year so hopefully you will see me too.
Good video! Your family was so sweet being there with you- And your bff did an awesome job on filling us in on your condition! It was great! Congrats on makin it to the losers bench!
