I had RNY Gastric Bypass on December 23, 2010 and it changed my life! I have lost a large amount of weight and I am still losing, but I am here to help track my calories and protein more easily. So far, I am loving my app and loving this site! Are there any other post-weight loss surgery people out there? I am always looking for a good support system of people who understand my restrictions and requirements on a daily basis!

I had a sleeve gastrectomy on 3/5. I've lost a bunch of weight too..but fairly slowly.
You'll find this to be a great place to read..but note that a lot of people don't believe in the low calorie mentality, and you'll get a lot of people telling you that your calories are too low. I haven't seen too many gastric bypass people posting, perhaps because of that reason.
If you wanna add me you can, and I might have some recommendations for y ou0 -
hi there, i am a new member and also in a pre gastric-bypass weight loss group. looking to lose at least 10% of my body weight in 6mo. i am also looking towards the sleeve instead of the full bypass...can u tell me if u thought ur surgery was worth it and if u think u made the right choice in surgeries??0

I had RNY Gastric Bypass almost a year ago and about 20lbs away from my goal. My "honeymoon " period of rapid weightloss is over and I need more support and motivation to lose the rest and maintain. I am hoping to find a good support system here! Let me know if you have any questions0

I had RNY on Jan 16th of this year. So far have lost 90lbs. I do 1-3hrs of exercise a day and stick strictly to my doc's plan. It has been awesome to do all that work and actually see the weight come off -instead of eating right and exercising and still gaining weight, like before.0

Hi! I'm new to this site - I did a search for gastric bypass topics and found this. I had surgery last June. So far I have lost 80 lbs. I've been struggling to lose more. My goal is another 40 lbs. I lift weights everyday for 20-30 minutes. Now that my honeymoon phase is over, my stomach has stretched and I can eat almost what a normal person can eat. Because of that, I joined so I can track my calories and hopefully see where I am going wrong. I'm hoping with proper diet and continuing my exercise I can lose it.0

I had gastric bypass in 2008. It took me 14 months to lose 170 pounds (I lost 30 pre-op). I have maintained my loss for about 2.5 years now. "Bounceback" can be prevented if you stay diligent. I've even lost more in the last couple months. Life is grande!! : )0

Hi, I had gastric bypass on 4/24/2012. I'm looking for a good place to track what I eat and this was suggested. I also must start exercising. I know it will help in the long term health & weight. I enjoyed seeing others on here that have been successful after surgery.0

Hi all,
Had my GB in 2004. Maintained until this past year when 15lbs crept back on me! Im here to knock that back off! So far I really like what I see with this. Feel free to add me if any of you woud like to. Good Luck with everything! :flowerforyou:0 -
I had my bypass in October 2002 and I have no regrets at all. I lost 114 pounds. I have put on about 20 that I'm trying to get rid of and that is the only downer about the surgery. It seems harder to loose those 20 pounds and I think it's because of the absorbstion of the calories. At one time I went on a 1200 calorie diet and worked out for six weeks loosing 1 pound. I went to a nutristionist and she said I should be doing 1600 due to the surgery (RNY). Even this web site is telling me 1270 a day so we will see. I still am so happy!!0

Gastric bypass in December 2011. 95 lbs lost since surgery. 100 lbs lost before surgery. Yay! I can walk 45 minutes a day now. I'm doing so much better. Greatest decision I ever made ))0

I'm 2 weeks post-op and down 16 lbs. I didn't realize how bad I was feeling until I knew what it was to feel good again. Looking for more support.0

Hello name is Seina and I have just decided to do the RNY also I'm a little nervous but I have decided to go for it. My initial surgery was going to do the Gastric Sleeve but just the thought of removing the stomach was a little scary also, you will probably here from me again just to ask questions but I wanted to introduce myself.0

Hi!
I'm pre-op. I'm currently on the 6-month supervised diet that my insurance requires, and I've lost 21 lbs so far on that. I will most likely be having my RNY surgery after the first of the year, due to blackout dates for time off at my job. I go for my psych eval on Saturday. It's good to see other WLS people here!0 -
Hi!
I had RNY on 12/15/09. I've lost 170 so far. I'd like to lose another 20. I workout at the gym about 6 times a week and have started with a personal trainer two times a week. I'd like to firm up and get some definition in my arms.
The surgery was one of the best things I have ever done for myself even though some days are hard.0 -
I am not having surgery-but I have always been curious with everyones weight loss that has one. What are the calories that are allowed on a daily basis after the surgery that helps you to lose weight easily? i am just curious because there are many days that I am under 1200 and I do not lose weight fast-gets kinda discouraging.0

I had GB in sept of 2009. I took off 260 but in the last six months have put back on 30 or so. I am determined to get that back off and tone up while doing it. My husband found this site and is working on taking off a few pounds. He put on weight as I was losing. LOL...0

I found at first after the surgery I was lucky to hit 300 calories. I focused on getting enough protein in to maintain my muscle mass but still lost quite a bit of it. I am almost three years out and maintain about 1200 calories a day. Certain things are off the table still. Like pork and beef. Sadly cookies and chocolate are okay. So I put back on 30 lbs. I am refocusing on taking that off and have dropped eight lbs. by just staying away from those things and exercising a bit more. I HATE to Exercise.0
