Almost one year out!!! Who would have guessed life would be so different???
LOVE IT!!!

Had my surg may 4th 2009. Did really well comparing myself to other stories heard. Almost wondered if i had surg when it came to eating for a while till i started experimenting with coarser foods and then KNEW something was different. I was down 25 lbs by my first month anniversary. Walking 4 days post op and feeling great. Just hope the WL keeps up. Hard to imagine sucess when you have never tasted it before. Hope it tastes better than what I have been eating the last 20 years

Really thinking of Gastric bypass surg been through all my pre op stuff and just need to push a letter of medical necessity from my pcp to get surg scheduled. I am 5'6'' and weigh 266. I exercise semi regularly, more than most of my thin friends. I am 42 yrs old but like myself and enjoy myself just wish I was healthier. The problem is I LOVE food! I don't know how I could do it with out a stomach. DO you really have less hunger after surg and can you still enjoy food sometimes (like not gluttony but just enjoy a meal) HOw do you deal with the loss? Was the surg worth it with the malabsorption of vitamins? I am so confused, I want to be healthier but I hear all kinds of advice saying don't do it you are not that bad, but then I am doomed to keep "trying" and failing like the past 21 years and wait for diabetes to set in full bloom. Any advice out there from those of you who have walked in my shoes.
