April 2014 RNY/Bypass Post Op Support
Sounds like everyone is doing well. I too am 3 months out and down 74 pounds. Currently at 201!! It's been about 20 years since I've been at this weight. I'm having gall bladder issues and dr wants to take it out I'm just anxious about having surgery again so soon. I'm having little pain so I go back in September to see how I'm doing and schedule surgery.

. I'm nervous about the possibility of having surgery again so soon. I've heard stories from friends who had gallbladder attacks and definitely hope that doesn't happen. Thanks it's good to know recovery is so short.

Had surgery on April 22. I have been doing pretty well. But I was told on Thursday that I have gall stones. I've had no pain today and still hoping it does not automatically mean surgery again!

So I'm 5 weeks postop and I'm on full liquids. I'm not sure I can drink one more protein shake but I have one more week to go! Anyone have suggestions on some different flavors? I can't blend fruit into the shakes yet either. I do have syntrex nector lemon tea that I like.
