Unappreciated Comments
I just wanted to voice my opinion....I heard a co-worker the other day comment on how great someone looked due to their weight loss. I then hear someone else say that is because she had help with weight loss surgery. That is the obvious fact, and yes, it is a tool and does help lose you lose weight but I hate how she had…

11 years out-Gastric Bypass Patient
Hello, I am a 55 year old female who had Gastric Bypass surgery nearly 11 years ago (2003). Overall I feel like I've done pretty well. I started off at 5'1 and 271 pounds and lost 111 pounds the first year but never made it to my "dream" goal. Now, 11 years out, I've put back on 40 pounds. After all I've done and gone…

What's your favourite protein shake?
I'm specifically looking for a brown rice, pea or hemp protein powder that isn't super gritty and thick and would work for sipping slowly. I am allergic to a whey, soy, nuts, wheat, carrots, bananas, MSG, and caffeine. I've contacted about a dozen different protein powder companies and asked for samples, 3 or 4 are sending…

Is that the…

Pre op liquid diet heart palps

The first couple days I was fine, continued my water aerobics on thursday and seemed to do okay, but the day after I noticed when I got up and moved around my heart was beating harder then normal. Not necessarily fast but I could feel them against my…

Slacking. How do I get out of this funk?
Okay, I am slacking. My weight loss has stalled in the past two weeks, and it is my fault. Aargh! I am not drinking as much water as I should, and I am not minding the macro-nutrients the way that I should be. I don't want to exercise. I just want to curl up on the sofa with a nice blankie, cup of hot cider, and read a…

My calorie intake has averaged 1600 for the past two weeks. My macro carbs has been very low usually under 25%, while my protein is very high usually over 45%. Friday…

Maintenance help after gastric bypass
I was wondering if anybody was to maintenance yet. This is hard for me because I only know how to gain and lose. I read that gastric bypass patients have to eat less than 1000 calories to maintain. Has anybody found that to be true? I've been on maintenance for about a week and my weight fluctuates up and down a couple…

Weight loss stagnation
Hey all! I'm currently 4 weeks post-op and had really steady weight loss all through the first three weeks. I weighed myself yesterday (Tuesday) for my weekly self-check in and I've not lost any weight at all. I know, I know, it probably shouldn't be that big of a deal, but it's distressing me a little.
