I had lost about 20 pounds in the 2-3 months pre-surgery, and have lost about 20 more pounds in the two weeks since I've had the surgery.

Hi Liz! I'm Chani. I just restarted on MFP after a long hiatus. I'm not a bypass patient, but I am always looking for new friends. I'm sending you a friend request now.0

My mom had gastric bypass 2 years ago October. She's doing wonderful but there was a stretch where she was miserable. Anything even the least but greasy - like a single bite of bacon or less than 90% beef- made her throw up. Like, immediately. At the table. Same with drinking even 1 sip of water until at least 30 minutes after she ate. Her hormones went nuts and she has to carry a Chinese fan with her because of hot flashes
She's through it all now and SO much better
She's lost probably 150 pounds since surgery plus what she lost before.
I don't tell you this to scare you. I tell you this to let you know the bad period will pass. Good luck to you!0 -

Glad your mom did so well!

I'm 6 months post-surgery and 100lbs down total in the last 12 months. It's a lot of work, but absolutely worth it.0

Hi Liz! My name is Nichole. I'm glad to hear about your weight loss so far. I am planning to do bariatric surgery as well, however, I have to wait another 5 months. I am trying a weight loss program through my doctor and have lost 8 pounds so far since starting almost one month ago.
May I ask if you did the sleeve, lap band, or the actual bypass? Also, how are you feeling physically after the surgery besides the hot flashes?
Thanks!0
