I had the bypass surgery yesterday and experienced no issues other than the abdominal pain you experience which honestly feel more Ike hunger pains. My question is how much were others able to drink one day out of surgery? I’ll be lucky to get in 2 bottles of waters today! And am worried about hydration here!

Ok, this caught my attention...do you happen to know the reasoning for this?

My nutritionist just told me the same thing last week.

I did v8 on my preop diet and that helped with salt. I also had miso broth (got a thing called minute miso that worked great).

One “pro” for losing some before surgery is that you lose it slower so less loose skin from that weight.

This is incredible success! My surgeon said most people don't make the kind of weight loss, and with my weight he said I could expect to lose 75 pounds and 100 was unrealistic. Yet YOU did it and many, many other people have too! I wonder what makes the 100 pound mark so unattainable in his eyes? If you did it and so many others have, I can too (right?)

I didn't lose any weight before surgery. Started out at BMI 46, now it's 23 since a whole while (no plastics so far). Would BMI be lower if I had lost weight before surgery? Who knows. Can't go back in time to give it a try, right?

I also had problem with scrambled egg for the first few weeks

Of course there is time to turn it around. Can you make an appointment with tour dietician and get a plan to get back on track? Hopefully, there are more than 3 healthy things you can eat—if there are more and you just need help cooking them—maybe ask the forum for some recipes? Don’t beat yourself up—tomorrow is a new day—make a plan and start anew!

I eat a "kids" hamburger with one bun off and maybe a few fries and that is usually too much. I am 6 months post op Roux en Bypass. Honestly, most hamburgers do not taste as good as they did "pre-surgery" too me. My stomach does not like the taste of red meat as well and is very picky on where it "likes" these hamburgers from. Freddies that do steakburgers is one place it does like. The meat is shaven thin and falls apart easily. It does not like cheap hamburger.
