Hello all

Hi. I am currently 15 days post op. Down 19 pounds. Sometimes I wonder if it will ever all come off. Trying to get used to the food thing but I definitely don't eat enough. I have no hunger. I'm already sick of the foods that I am allowed to eat. I was looking for ppl to share stories with, so I don't feel like I am the only one going through these things.

Hi Kris I am also Chris and live between Rochester and NIagara Falls. don't worry the weight will come off. I am 1 year out and down 139 pounds and 101.5 inches. It really works but you can help it by eating right and exercising. In the begii=nning I too was tired of food. Try changing it up a bit. I never got enough protein in at the beginning so I started on protein drinks. I add it to my coffee and it is like drinking a french vanilla coffee. You definately are NOT alone.....Good luck and feel free to chat any time.... ~~hugs and well wishes~~ Chris

Hi Kris I was the same way Not hungry at all Thats common with the gastric bypass But you have to eat. You have to get that protein in and liquids Stick to protein shakes for a while if the food isn't helping. If you need any other suggestions, just email me. Marie

Hi YOU ARE NOT ALONE--I PROMISE. I made 2 months post op on Feb. 7th. I feel the same way you do. I wonder myself if it will ever all come off. I just hit about 60 lbs down-still a way to go. My family sees it but i still see myself the same way. Im like you still trying to get use to the food thing. I thought I would be more hungry. I'm sick of the food that im allowed to eat too. I know that im not eating enough. I try but just cant get it in. The one thing to i make sure i get in is the protein drink. I dont want to lose my hair. I make a protein drink in the morning. I use Isopure powder chocolate. I mix it with skimplus milk and its great. I tried the ready made flavored liquid ones they were terrible. Just hang in there, it does get a lil easier. We already begun the journey-that was the biggest step. We can do this.
