I had my gastric bypass December the 10th so Monday I will be 4 weeks post op. My weight is driving me crazy. Surgery weight was 240 lbs. its been up and down today its 234.9 is this normal. I am getting my water and protein in . I hoped I would be down more than this.

I am going to download it now thank you

I had my gastric bypass Dec. 10th. I have been doing fine I have been getting 60oz of fluids down and 30mg of protein every day, Well today I started worrying that I am doing something wrong. My weight loss has been slow 12.5 pounds since surgery. How much protein was everybody else doing 10 days out. Its hard to get down 3 oz at a setting. I don't want to mess myself up.

Thank you guys so much. Sometimes I get so anxious I am calming down some ya'll make me feel so much better. Please excuse the underline.

Oh good

toodlerue, You said its part of my liquid intake. Do I have to wait 30 min after drinking my shake

Thank you so much I am defiantly getting my fluids in I will try to get in a little more protein but I am not going to force it.

Thank you I was thinking that, I am increasing my protein tonight. Sometimes this gets a little confusing to me.

Hey every body I had my bypass on the 10th. I had to stay in the hospital 4 days. First day after surgery I was up walking and doing well. 2nd day I went into Atril Fib so that stopped everything no walking until they could get me back in regular heart rhythm. Then my I.V infiltrated with that harsh heart med and to this day site is very hard and painful But now I am 1 week out and doing good getting my shakes and fluids in and feeling so positive about the future cant wait until I can stronger and stronger.

I am having my surgery tomorrow also. I am nervous too. When I think about it I get butterflies in my stomach. We got this!! our lives will be so much better.

nursenays thanks for your reply. I am so sorry you are having a tough time. I hope all gets better for you soon.

I am 61 and having bypass December 10th

Hey everyone I am having my bypass this Monday the 10th. I am so excited and nervous. I don't have to do a preop diet, I am glad about this but also a little worried. What if I gain a few pounds will this increase the risk of surgery?please if any body else on here didn't have to do a preop diet how was your surgery?

I am 61 years old and will be having gastric bypass Dec. 10th. I am so nervous.

You look great. I am having my surgery 12/13/18 and this is very inspiring

Hello, I got my surgery date today. It is December the 13th, but because of a previous surgery I was told that I am not a candidate for the sleeve but I can get the gastric bypass. I have spent the last few months researching gastric sleeve. I understand the difference with the surgery procedure but is the diet and weight loss the same. Has any one on here got the bypass and wished they would have got the sleeve. I'm a little nervous about this surgery.

Thanks for your reply, I was just surprised yesterday when I was told that I was not going to be able to get the sleeve. I had done so much research on the sleeve but now I am researching the bypass. Today I am doing good and very excited about my upcoming surgery. I cant wait to get healthy

I have an appointment 8/1/19 with the bariatric surgeon. Has anyone had any other abdominal surgeries? I am worried that he will not do my surgery because in 2012 I had several tumors removed from my stomach. I am so excited to finally be able to do this for myself. I am 61 years old my health is not that great mostly due to obesity.

I was going for the sleeve, The insurance I have now is going to pay for the surgery. So I will be having it in Jonesboro Arkansas now. I'm a little nervous but excited/

This is all good to hear . I was worried because early last year I was going to go to Mexico to have this surgery, the surgeon there told me he would not do this surgery because I had those tumors removed from my stomach. I am hoping he denied me because of not really having follow up when I got back to the states but I'm not sure about that. This was Dr. Alverez

Thank you so much. Hopefully I will be able to have surgery the first week of November.
