Gastric Bypass

Hi im in the first steps to getting the gastric sleeve done i have 4 dr visits one a month to go. Im looking for a before meal plan to help for after any segestions?

I just started to join my fitness pal to help me to start losing weight. I have been to the doctor twice now. Still need to see a nutritionalist and a psycologist and then the surgery for gastric sleeve will be done

I just had the gastric Sleeve done on 5/17. Down 20lbs since my surgery. Would love to make friends going through the same thing and to motivate each other. Cause surgery is a tool def not a quick fix

Have struggled with my weight for yrs. Last August i was at 270 now at 237, my weight always goes up and down but i seem to now be making better choices and have stayed under 240 for a few months, have recently recovered from a sprained ankle that kept me less active but starting to do a lil cardio now, just what my ligaments can tolerate. My Dr says ill benfit from a gastric sleeve since ive been able to keep my weight in control. This month ill have completed 3 visits with nutritionist and surgery is scheduled for September but kind of anxious and nervous at the same time. Its something i really want to do ,i am a 34 yr old single mother of 4 ranging from 18yrs to 3yrs i have my childrens support and my families and that of my x husbands thou now my 4 yr relationship ended and alot had to do with my decision to continue with my weight loss and his insecurities from it. The surgery is something i really think i will benefit from not just for myself but for my children but sometimes everything before it seems overwhelming....anyone feel free to add me, can really use the support!

Hi, sounds like your doing great. I just had the gastric sleeve 3 weeks ago. Down 17lbs so far. Please feel free to add me. I'm also looking for support, advice, stories from people going through the same thing

I had the RNY March 2007 at the age of 45. My weight at that time was 234. Within a year I was down to 130 but looked very anorexic. I moved away from my doctor 6 months later and did not follow up or monitored. At about 3 years in I slowly started gaining weight back. I found a Dr. where I moved to who will follow me and monitor. 10 years out, today I have gained with my weight back up to 180. Working hard now to slowly lose weight and become more active. My doctor reassures me that if you still have 50% of your weight off after 5 years you are considered a success. I do not feel like a success because of the weight I gained back. I am now actively trying to manage my food intake and exercise. Hopefully I will get back to around 145. I feel that it will be my "feel good" weight.

I just got approved and have gastric bypass RYN scheduled for July 10!

I have a question. How can you use MyFitness Pal when you have had gastric bypass or any other weight reduction surgery? It doesn't allow you all the features if you go below 1,000 cals per day.

Hello All,
I had gastric bypass Jan 2015, weighed 527lbs. Currently 317. It's been a struggle. Diagnosed with Uterine Cancer last year, treatment didn't work. Had to have total hysterectomy. Didn't have kids but hoped to be able after losing weight. Well that didn't work out. So aside from still recovering from WLS, I was dealing with emotional and physical distress oh and early onset of Menopause (I'm 37) because of surgery. But i am Cancer Free but still struggling with weight loss. Regardless of everything I've gone through I still maintained my positive optimistic attitude. It does help. I've pretty much platod at 317. So I'm back here trying to restart my weightless plan. I've maintained so far but now need to amp up the exercise regimen and start losing again.
