If your stomach is being bypassed that means what you eat goes straight through you so I don’t think eating out would be much fun anymore.

I don’t know how much your Dr. has told you. My daughter in law had the surgery & lost over 100 lbs. over a period of 2 or 3 yrs. but threw up every time she ate even a bite or 2 . This lasted a long time. Her sister also had the surgery & went into a coma for 3 wks. Almost died. Is still very weak & it’s been since 2002. There are all kinds of problems this can cause & you have to be very careful to do everything exactly as the Dr. tells you. Even then you will have some problems. For some, this is the only way to go to save their lives but for others, they should try more diet & exercise first.

I had the Gastric bypass surgery done on May 16 and my husband on June 6. I have lost 120 pounds and my husband has lost 140 pounds (guys always lose faster).
I would do the surgery over again. Neither of us have had any complications. I think it all depends on where you get your surgery done. Our place made us go through several seminars before we could meet our surgeon and he agreed to do the surgery. Then once we were approved we met with a dietian and other informative classes (that was awesome)
If you do what you are told to do by your doctor then everything should be fine. We followed every instruction to the letter. Thus having no problems at all.
Stuff that you need to really pay attention to
Watch the amount of food you eat – you can stretch your stomach
Drink lots of water – it doesn’t stretch your stomach it goes straight through.
You should not be throwing up everytime you eat – that is wrong and not good for you at all.
Take your vitamins twice a day – we take something like flinstones chewable with iron
Take your calcium – we take a sugarfree version of viactive from walmart
Take your B12 shot – once a month
Don’t drink 30 minutes before and for 30 minutes afterward – this can make you feel really sick
Chew Chew Chew
Watch the sugar intake – sugar dumping feels awful
Go to all appointments that you are advised to go to.
Just my two cents

I had a gastric bypass October 1, 2004. I was a healthy surgical candidate, with none of the pre-existing conditions often associated with morbid obesity. That said, I was pushing 300 pounds and quite miserable. I no longer fit in an airplane seat or a movie theater seat. My feet were KILLING me due to bone spurs. I couldn’t walk long or far enough to manage a normal shopping trip comfortably.
I had laproscopic surgery so I was only out of work for two weeks. My incisions were sore, but it wasn’t anything that kept me from going about my life. Less than four weeks after surgery, I was in the gym…and already slightly more mobile due to initial weight loss.
It was an adjustment to learn how to eat for my new digestive system. And everyone is different. I still have a hard time with bread, pasta, and rice but I can eat meat and I can take in basically as many veggies as I want. I’ve heard other post-weight-loss-surgery patients say that just the opposite is true for them. So, unfortunately this is something you may have to figure out for yourself.
I have to eat very slowly and I have to chew things very carefully, otherwise things get “stuck” and end up coming back up. Since your stomach won’t produce stomach acid (that will merge with your food farther down your digestive track now) throwing up is not as yucky as it was before surgery. It’s NOT pleasant, but you WILL do it numerous times before you figure out what you have to do to avoid it. And it won’t kill you. It’s not horrible or unbearable and doesn’t last very long.
You probably won’t be able to drink liquids with meals. There just won’t be enough space in there for both. And yes, you will have to take vitamins. I have to take chewable ones mostly because it’s difficult for me to swallow large pills…they get stuck.
I lost 160 pounds. Before surgery I made a list of things I wanted to do when I was a normal size. I’ve done every single one of them. Life after gastric bypass surgery is AWESOME. I had no complications…except the money spent on a new wardrobe.
I wish you all the success I had! Good luck and hang in there!

Life is good and there should be nothing to complain for. There is this “Dumping Syndrome” that is sometimes associated with this particular surgery. Everything that you eat, passes quickly into the large gut and therefore is out in a short time. You shall get used to it and moreover it is not necessary to affect everyone who has undergone this surgery.
