Did you get to your goal weight?1

I just met with my nutritionist. She suggested I eat 600-800 calories a day.2

How long ago did you have it? How has the progression from clear liquids to solids gone? How are you feeling? I'm going to be having a gastric sleeve done around the first of December. I know that they are not the same, but I know that there are many similarities. How much have you lost? You look fantastic in your picture.0

I too had Bariatric Surgery! 3 years post-op. I had the Sleeve, but I kinda know some stuff that is the same is as Gastric Bypass Roux-en-Y! If you just had it recently, all you can drink right now is liquids! In terms of moving around, how much can you do right now! Don't be afraid to friend me! I've been there and still struggling! It's a hard and long journey, but you can do it!1

I just met with my surgeon today for my 2nd appointment. Got a surgery date of 11/2. Nervous, and worried about complications like Petersen's Hernia. Did your surgeon talk to you at all about this?1

(I lost 120 pounds, gained 90 back, which is why I am not as thin as my picture. I should change it, I suppose.)1

I didn't have to do the clear diet pre-op. THANK GOD!!!! Post-op I did. It sucked. The hardest was pureed. You get tired of eating mush. But eating normal food scared me to death.
I'm feeling good. I have no regrets!
60 lbs
Good luck on your surgery. Listen to the doctor! Follow the rules!!!!2 -

I was starting to develop health problems. Diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea. I have pcos. Loosing weight is very hard for me. I would eat 1200 calories a day and long hard workouts. And not loose weight.
After I ran a 1/2 marathon I decided I had had enough. I never looked back after I made up my mind.1 -
Can I ask if you tried eating 600-800 a day before having the surgery?1

Four months post op. Congrats! I have passed my two year anniversary.
I notice the American program is very low calorie for the first year. I was encouraged to get to 1200 calories within six months.
With so few calories daily are you experiencing any side effects like brittle nails or hair?
Do you have any food intolerances?
Have you had any "dumping" events?0 -

What are dumping events?1 -
"Dumping" for me anyways is a sudden cold sweat and nausea, and the overwhelmed stomach dumps (vomits) whatever was eaten. It may happen with certain foods, overfull stomach, or eating too fast.
I've only had a handful of incidents but they were memorable.0 -

I had RNy as well 13 years ago. I lost 180 Pounds initially but have gained 70 back. I can say it was amazing during the weight loss phase and I would not change anything but what they don't tell you is that eating 600-800 caloroes a day for over a year is going to destroy your metabolism. Your pouch does stretch in capacity size again and one day down the road normal size meals will be in your future again, and when you start eating like a normal person again and having normal (1200-1400) calorie range, you can regain. It seems really unfair but it is what bypass surgery does to your metabolism.
