Hello all! I am almost 5 months post op, I'm down as of today 100 pounds!!!!! What you are taking in plays every part of how much you lose, my doctor told me if I am not hungry (which you should not be) then do not eat! Just drink protein shakes... I live off of pro series muscle milk with 40 grams of protein, and yogurt as well as bananas because I'm low in potassium... I also enjoy eating those laughing cow cheese wedges with these low carb crackers (I have one cracker a day only 3 grams of carbs)... And walk walk walk!!!! There is no reason to be eating anything at this point!

Had bypass a week ago and I've been giving myself the blood thinner shots and taking nexium as well as drinking diet snapple... I broke out in hives, any idea why?

My hives went away and came back about a week ago I'm almost 5 weeks post op, they are thinking the nexium so they switched my meds a few days ago... It seems to be getting better but not gone completely

They said I wouldn't be hungry? I feel like I'm starving I'm 2 weeks post op and my doctor only wants me to have liquids... When will I feel normal again? I want fish and beans, healthy things...

Thanks but I did well with it ... Today I had fat free refried beans and so far so good...

M about 12 days post op and I was doing great... Yesterday I included my protein shakes and vitamins and I had severe diahera, today I woke up nauseous... What could this be?

Yes I'm down almost 30 pounds it will be week 3 on Monday...

I don't know the difference obviously, I'm not allowed food until Monday I can try egg whites... Pretty much I can only eat 1-2 ounces slowly and need to pay attention to satisfaction not til I'm full... So I will ask myself the every bite am I still hungry? Which is What I do with my veggy soup now

It's not easy, I'm 3 weeks post op and though I want food bwcauE I cook for my husband still I know I can't... You just know it's not an option end of story... You risk getting very sick if you do eat things you aren't supposed to

Yea me too... I go for my 1 month post op next week maybe I can at least get some puréed food

I'm only two weeks out but were you taking nexium the whole time?

If your having a hard time getting fluids down try iced lemon water... I absolutely am obsessed and can't get enough! 2 weeks post op Beginning weight 357 Current weight 333 Goal weight 170

I haven't had any issues I even suck on the lemons... I drink about 48-64 ounces of this lemon water a day and I'm two weeks post op, although every one is different it's been my go to and I love it

I agree :/ I would call your doctor and make sure everything is okay... And just take it easy

Yea I'm afraid to try the shakes again :/ I've been doing the whey protein shots... Mixing it with water.... This seems to be working better... I've been also living off of lemon water it's amazing!

Yes it's whey shots doesn't taste too bad just sick of liquids :/

Before surgery, it's a new thing they started in August... My doctor was shocked as well

Thank u... It's fustrating I thought I was making progress... I have these protein shots that taste like watermelon so I mixed it with my water I seem to be doing okay as of now with that

I'm using the Walmart one with skim, I can't even fathom having any right now :/ yesterday I only got about 20 oz if water down usually I get 36 :/ this is so tough

Also, my doctor keeps saying to not eat anything unless your hungry, and we shouldn't be hungry,,. Also I'm not allowed to eat anything unless I have all my protein and water and by then I'm not hungry

Congrats!!!! I am 8 days post op and I was taking in about 7 ounces for 2 days... Didn't really measure in the hospital but I loved sucking on my ice chips! When I came home I could only get 1 whole bottle of water or snapple down... As of yesterday I really started to enjoy my ice cold water! And I'm getting two bottles down now good luck!

Had my surgery 2-24-14 and I keep getting cramping on my left side as if I ran a mile... Anyone else experiencing this? And if so why?

I just had my surgery Monday so I'm not on this stage yet, but as far as vitamins are they hard to get down? And do they taste bad

My doc said I should drink protein from 3rd day of surgery.. anyhow I think I should walk around from now on!! Yea every doc is different so I would do what he says good luck!

I'm 5 days out of surgery and I'm walking 15-20 mins a day... I've lost 12 pounds so far but I'm on liquids only doc told me no protein yet just to worry about fluids until I see him Thursday... Are you having bowel movements also? Tmi but if not it can be all holding in there
