Gastric Bypass Surgery

It has been a hard couple of years. In the July of 2011 my family and i had a house fire while we where away camping. Leaving us with the clothes on are backs and the 8 boxes of memories we saved from the ashes of our house . This happened as I found out i was aproved for the surgary .As i begain my journey i did not tell the Doctors preparing me for surgary fearing that they would not do the surgary due to the stress i was under having been told many times that if there are high stress isues your going through that the sucsess rate for wieght loss is not good . So i struggled with it in silience. My house was torn down to the fondation and rebuilt over the year as we lived in what felt like limbo , renting , and seemed to put our lives on hold . My surgary was in July 2012 and moved back into my house in Aug. that year and my life resumed . It has been 10 months since surgary and i have almost got the old me back . I am down 133lbs and still going. For the first time in as long as i can remember i have posted pictures that i am in and want people to see them .For years i have always been the one taken the pictures and now i want to been in them.I never thought this day would come I would highly recommend this surgar;y to anyone that has been struggling with there wieght and as i did get my life back to the way i have alway wanted to live it . Start living the life you decieve.

i live in Canada so it is covered all i had to pay was the $250 for the shakes befor surgery. I had the gystric bypass.

WOW 200 lbs on optifast alone Thats great how long did it take you? and how are you doing now ? I am struggleing a bit now . I have been up and down one or two pounds since christmas . Not loosing any thing . I start to exercise for a while and then stop because of lack of time or just pain discouraged . I do realize I'm going to have times where i'm not loosing .But not sure how to get it going again . still not eating great i strugle to even get to 1200 calories . I have been told i 'm not eating enough but still not sure how to get there . Could you give me some ideas of what you eat in a daily meal plane . and is there tricks what to eat and when or when not to eat certian foods . Any advise you can give would be very helpfull. Thanks for your support Kimberly

i have just had the gastric bypass and the doctors have told me i need to be off for 8 weeks . I have three kids and a busy life . You can not do a lot of lifting but you are not out of commission. To me it was well worth it.

Good for you . I know what you mean it is scary and excited all in one but it's going to be great . Not sure how it has been for you but for me i wish i had better preperation with dietary information for after surgary . That is where i am at now not sure what to eat and afraid to eat the wrong things . Best of luck to you next week love to hear from you again and how things are going for you . I'm sure you will do great.
