Start of Week 4
HeatherZFeather and one other reacted to GreenTealael for a post in a topic
Very early on, extremely soft vegetables (almost mush) will go down easier. Later on when you are able to eat more (volume) maybe able to pick and chose when you substitute vegetables for other things in your meals. It takes some time but eventually you’ll get the swing of it all. -

Postoperative surgery questions!
BypassedSophie reacted to Michele 2021 for a post in a topic
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! -

Pre op diets
pk88 reacted to blackcatsandbaddecisions for a post in a topic
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. -

Yay or Nay: Weight loss before surgery for better success
XtinaDoesIt reacted to Globetrecker for a post in a topic
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? -

First day of liquid stage 2. Worried.
adamthezombie reacted to Lizzy33 for a post in a topic
I felt the same way. I can drink pretty sizable drinks of water and smoothies. I worried that I wouldn’t feel full and maybe it didn’t work for me. BUT I tried more solid food yesterday for the first time - tuna with some Mayo (about a quarter cup) and boy did I feel the “restriction.” Today one meal I had some hard boiled egg on a bit of lettuce and same thing. Very full. -

The Sleeve vs Bypass?
mandya84 reacted to BypassedSophie for a post in a topic
I was in the same predicament as you—need to lose around 70lbs and wanted the sleeve. My GERD is horrendous and causing scar tissue in my esophagus, so surgeon highly recommended bypass. My surgery is Monday, and I am excited to read that people who had bypass, do not have GERD! Thank you! ❤️
