I Can Still Eat Alot of Food At One Time...anyone Else?? Posted: 09-25-03 18:29pm
I had gastric
bypass however, I can eat alot of food at
one time.
For example: I can eat a triple meat
hamburger, large fries, and two apple
pies, with no problems.
I can also eat any food what so ever.
Including raw sugar, with no dumping
symptoms or anything else.
I'm really dissappointed that I spent
$42,000.00, on a bypass, and I can eat
just about like I did before the
surgery.
Has anyone else experienced this???
Does anyone have any advise??

Gastic Bypass Posted: 09-28-03 18:58pm
Hi, I did not have a gastric bypass, but I
had laparospic banding in july, at the
start I lost 32 pounds, but now I find I
can eat almost anything and my weight is
slowiy creeping up again. I do not know
what the answer is for you, but you did
not mention when you had the procedure
done? Was it recent? And have you spoken
to your doctor lately?
With my surgery, I can go and get a fill,
which is where they put some fluid into
the band to make your stomach pouch
smaller, it makes you feel full quicker.
Why did you opt for bypass rather than
banding?

Still Able to Eat Alot Posted: 10-02-03 13:07pm
hi, I am 2 years
after my gastric bypass and in great
health and I can't eat hardly much at
all.I am able to force down maybe 1/2 of a
burger(single meat) no fries and not even
anything to drink. My bypass surgery or
should I say journey has not given me any
complications whatsoever, and I went from
a whopping 302 lbs. On 7/24/01 to my
current weight of 150. I feel great and
folks say I look great, so maybe you might
want to talk with your Dr.. About this
and find out if something was not done
properly. I also paid lots for my surgery
and feel very fortunate as I have heard so
many horror stories form people who have
had it done, not followed instructions,
changed their lifestyles or eating habits
and they gain their weight back or never
lose the sufficient amount to keep from
having health problems again.If you are
serious about losing weight, talk to your
doc, something doesn't sound right. Good
luck on your journey.

Listen...When you have a gastric bypas it
is only to jump start your weight loss, it
is not an overnight miracle. I had the
surgery in 31 march 03. I have had so
many complications since then. I now
have to have another surgery to correct
the complications. Yes I have lost
wieght but it is only because I have stuck
to the diet. Why are you even trying to
eat that much at once anyway??? After
going through all that you put yourself
right back in the spot you were in before.
I also do no think you understand that
this surgery is not all about the
procedure. Your success depends on you
and your will power to control how much
you eat!!! You make me sick, taking for
granted what I almost did not have...Life
itself.

Regarding My Mother's Surgery Posted: 11-21-03 11:29am
My mother is now a week our of her surgery
and has lost 15 lbs. She stuck to the
diet for the most part but still has the
appetite she had before. But, when she
tries to eat what she wants she becomes
very ill. It is working for her, the hard
part now is just sticking to what her
doctor tells her and waiting for the
results.

Hi calikty01
i read your message about your mother and
I hope she is feeling better, but I have
some questions. You said "she had her
surgery a week ago and she stuck to the
diet for the most part"? Why has she not
stuck with the diet for the weeks that are
needed to make the transition positive. I
had my surgery dec. 1st 2003 I am still
on the plan,but I have to admit I think
about the foods I would like to eat and
will! But only a couple tablespoons at a
time when i'am done with the restrictions.
Tell your mom to get back on the ball so
all that pain wasn't for nothing.
