I'm going for Gastric bypass (sleeve) in two weeks. Lost 14 pounds preparing for it. Are there more members who went this route?

    Why, yes. I had my surgery six months ago. Are you stocked up with soft foods for afterwards?

    i didn't go gastric bypass, but i did opt for the realizeband/lapband as a tool to help lose weight. be prepared that it's still a lot of work and you may possibly take flack for "using an easy route" because people don't realize how much you still have to work your butt off to make it work. weight loss surgery is a tool, not a fix. make sure you're prepared mentally and physically for that. also make sure you have a good support system in place. it really does help. above all good luck and congrats on getting healthy. =)

    I had RNY in 2006 and lost 176 pounds. I kept that weight off for over five years. Then I let life get in the way a resorted to my old eating habits. Over the holiday I almost lost my husband. I realized that we both needed to get healthy again and that's what we are doing. My husband and I are doing this together but I need a lot more support than he does. When I had my surgery I used MFP and was very successful. So here I am again but this is the last time weight loss will ever be an issue. I have made a commitment to myself to get back to my goal for myself, my family, and now for my MFP family. Stay in touch with this site and it's members and I know you will be successful!!!

    I blogged about stopping binge sessions which you might find helpful.

    lulu, I hope they don't make you wait too long after goal for your surgery. It's tough to stay on program no matter what stage you are on.
