The best and worst bits of having a bypass

[Nanny Og]

Worst bits the gas pain and sicky feeling

At 8 days post op the best bit is trying on my fav pair of size 18 jeans (tried these 3 weeks ago when started pre op and couldn't get them up) and they went up and buttoned with no probs and I could get my hands in my pockets easily. And I have a jaw line again

Weirdest bit is under my chin, I used to pull and play with the fatty bit under my chin now there's hardly anything to grip onto.

This is a great thread...
I am a pre-opper, hoping it will be June.

I went to Chessington last week and I was too paranoid I wouldn't fit on the seats so I didn't go on some of the rides, and I had to sit for over an hour at each time and watch my husband with my two boys......
But all the time I kept thinking, not for much more...........

Nice to hear all you positive comments.

I went on some slow rides Tueday. Wouldn't risk fast ones yet. But wanted to scream, look people, I fit and it's not even a squeeze lol

Oh that's great!
Can't wait to do these things however it's doubly alward as I am 6ft so where my legs supposed to go with a podgey bottom?! Lol

Just thinking, with the weight loss being really quick is it a dramatic change in your body shape or does it catch up with what it says on the scales? Does that make sense?
Does it feel great?!

My body is losing size faster than my weight at the moment. Lost 2 inches of my waist and an inch off each thigh.

And I am 6ft 2.5, so I feel your pain lol

Wow that's great to see your body change shape so quickly. Fantastic!
Gosh, I thought I was a tall lady!
Horrid being tall and fat, and when I was pregnant that was just another terrible combination! Lol x

Hi thank you so much for a great thread. I'm just waiting for funding but I'm with you all. I don't want to inject myself anymore and to not be diabetic any more seems like a miracle. I haven't told anybody this but, and please don't laugh, what I can't wait for is to be able to run again or even jog. Last year I hobbled round the race for life but next time I want to run and get a stitch and look terrible but it will be my own little miracle. And you will see me on the pictures I will have a big sloppy grin on my face x

Thank you everyone, reading this has made me so excited.

Hacing the confidence to get my hair done and go out in public in a dress.

I like that too lol.

And the bath water can still fill behind me while I am sitting in it without me rocking to the side lol

Plus, not sweating half as much in the heat

Now I am settled into my bypass I love a lot about it:

Eating a small amount without worrying. Actually feeling proud its all I can and want to eat.

Feeling some bones starting to come through. Imagine what I will be like near goal! Lol

Compliments are nice.

People happily sitting in the seat next to me on the bus. The seat next to me was the last one anyone would perch on at my biggest

I spend a lot less on lunches and eating out. That's a good bonus for me

Knowing this summer I can go to theme parks

There are more, but I won't thread hog
