I had Gastric Bypass on 11/04/2011 (about 5 months ago) and I've lost 65 pounds so far. It hasn't fallen off like I'd hoped it would--I still have to get my butt off the couch and move and I still have to watch what I eat. I had hoped that I would "dump" with sugar so I would never want it again . . . but that just isn't the case. I'm looking for some others who are on their journey--whether just starting out or already at goal to be friends with.

    Hi, my name is Kimberlee, 48. I had biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch on 9/6/11. I've lost 95 lbs. so far. It isn't easy to lose this weight. It has taken diet and exercise. I have dumping with carbs and fats sometimes. Feel free to add me.

    Hey Ladies, I had GBP 02/26/2005. I am currently working to get my Post baby x2 weight off after 3 years. Please take it seriously, the weight will stop and return quickly. GBP is only a tool to assist but yes you will still have to watch what you eat and work your butts off. Good Luck to you both.

    I had RNY 7/25/2011 and it was the best decision I ever made. I am healthy and as a bonus I am back to my high school weight and size!

    I had GBP in Feb. 2010. I lost about 125 pounds, but have gained about 10 back in recent months. I'd like to get down 25-35 from where I am now. Trying to get myself back on track, focusing on protein and avoiding sugar. Sugar addiction has come back with a vengeance, but I'm trying to kick it again now! Good luck, all.

    Lorianne,
    I am so there with you! I had my surgery on 9/24/11 and have also lost 65lbs. Just saw my surgeon on Friday and had only lost 10lbs in 3 months. We agreed I was 100% non-compliant! That's why I'm here, tracking and walking again. I DO NOT want diabetes again!
    It's been quite a journey so far, and the honeymoon is over as far as weight just falling off without doing anything!
    Best of luck to us!
    Mary

    Hi Everyone,

    I started my weight loss program Dec 2010 and had RNY 10/6/11 -- I have lost a total of 125lbs!! (65 was preop). It's great to see similiar post op numbers because I feel like a "slow" looser". Congrats to everyone and best of luck :smile:
