Bypass 7 years ago
My name is Clair. Had RNY May 2016 and lost 120 lbs. Recently 15 lbs have crept back on due to my own loss of motivation. Hoping to lose all 15 by cruise in January. Joined gym and now trying to get back on track with eating healthy and high protein.
Almost 4.5 years since surgery
First of all, I'm always surprised when I occasionally check this group that there is not a lot more activity. Anyone know if there is another more active group for VSG peeps? Anyway, just popping in to share that I am still maintaining a loss of 110 pounds. The longer I go, the more confident I feel that I can keep it off…
Friends?
I had RNY in December 2022. I am looking for others who share their diaries so we can see what others are eating. No judgment just accountability. I like to see how others are doing compared to myself but don't believe in Yes and No foods.
Hi and hello! Please add me as accountability buddy!

7 months into my new life after gastric sleeve
Hi everyone, my name is Jeff I’m 57. I had afib, high blood pressure and sleep apnea and struggled with my weight for the past 20 years. I was pushing 280 lbs.

Hi Everyone, My name is Melissa. I'm post op 3 weeks of bypass. I can say its been very challenging. I've had quite a few problems since having surgery. Since I couldn't keep anything down I was pushed forward to very soft solids. However I feel full all the time and having issues with getting liquids and food down. Since…
New to the group
Hi, I had the gastric sleeve done in May of 2013, went from 270 to 180 in less than a year. I got pregnant with my first in May of 2014 and with my second in May of 2020. Now I am back to my original weight of 270 and can't seem to lose it. Any suggestions to help with the start of getting back to what I worked so hard for.
