WLS postops lose tons of weight in a short time. But, there are other lifestyle changes that must be made in order to be successful. The lifestyle changes after WLS (weight loss surgery) can make for a wild and sometimes crazy lifestyle. Once we learn what changes we must make, it is all about living life! Sites in this ring are by/for those who have had weight loss surgery (whether gastric bypass, duodenal switch or some other surgery type) and are Lovin' Life After WLS!
Just shy of the 3 month mark... UPDATE! On Saturday, Feb 25th, I was sitting in a movie theater with my hubby when I suddenly felt pressure in my abdomen. It wasn't bad--more like the feeling you get when you need to find a bathroom soon for a BM. But, after leaving the theater and finding a restroom, it rapidly got worse. It went from a bit of pr...
Wow, I feel bad! I have been crazy busy this last 7 or 8 months! Work is, well, work. I love teaching and it is what I want to do for the rest of my "work" life.

I've read that it's common...

Unflinching, brutally honest look at the ups and downs of my life after gastric bypass surgery. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but life after WLS is not always sunshine and roses. This site helps pre-ops prepare, and post-ops find support and encouragement.
My blog is about my journey with weight loss surgery and dealing with the changes as they come. I am having the sleeve procedure done. I have over 200 pounds I want to lose.
This blog explores my life after WLS and the the process of publishing my memoir on the subject. Butterbabe comes out in November. The blog covers other things, too; I'm no one-trick pony.
How did I become "morbidly obese"? By making hundreds of extremely obtuse choices. I allowed food to become my closest confidant, my best friend. This is my journey to becoming healthy and fit. It will be long, hard, and it won't make much sense to some of you. But I feel that it's something I must do now.
