Hi I had a bypass 7/28. I live alone. Had no complications. For the first couple of days a friend would stop by to see if I needed anything (the company was nice)
But that was it. I was very very weak but managed.
As long as you don't have any complications, you should be fine.

Amazon. How are you doing? I had my surgery on 7/28 @ lahey in Burlington. I had Dr Brams. No problems
Feeling good now.

Thanks everyone. You're right a loss is a loss.

I burp a lot too and hiccip after drinking. What's up with that??? Doesn't matter what I drink from, star, no straw, cup, water bottle, I still drink too much air even though I don't feel like I am....

I want to be able to ride properly again. Having horses and needing to ride almost everyday (that I'm home) having an extra 70 pounds on my body has thrown my balance out beyond comprehension. I have trouble walking out to catch them as I'm out of breath and in pain trying to climb the small hills where they graze, and I really want to be able to wear all the cute clothes available to girls of smaller sizes. I hate wearing my stretchy pants with boots and spurs. I also want to be able to get up on my horses without the aid of a mounting block, my arms just can't boost my butt up any more. So much to look forward to, A life of not hiding from the world I once knew and loved!

Are you not taking a sublingual B12?

Just a hint: I get bashed for saying this exact thing. I got wls cuz I was tired of dieting. I don't count anything. My labs r good and I only have a few lbs to goal. I plan on continuing with my way forever.
While the loss was much slower than those who got to goal within 6 mths (I'm a yr out), I'm happy with the way things are going.
Not many people here believe this theory. Prepare to get some comments...
Congrats on ur refusal to continue dieting. If I wanted to count everything, I coulda done that wihtout removing 85% of my stomach...

One week out and don't have any strength. Went out today to Dr follow-up. Brought Protein Drink with me but I still felt like crap when I was brought home . Had to sleep. Anyone else still dragging around?

THANKS everyone. I can do this!

I came home 10 lbs have not lost yet

Hi. I'm feeling better . What happened to you. Did you have a compilation?
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Had mine July 28.

How'd your surgery go Casey999?

THANKS everyone. I can do this!

My doctor never suggested a calorie limit either. 11g of Protein is great. I have an Excel spreadsheet that has almost 100 grocery store, frozen, and fast food items that are all high in protein (and I'm adding to it all the time). Forum rules don't allow me to post it but I'd be glad to email it to you if post your email address or PM it to me. I've sent it to dozens of folks here on the forum. One of the biggest (and best) surprises I've had following my RNY has been the number of delicious, high protein options there are out there!!

Don't let a high BMI alone dictate your choice of surgical options. Any procedure can and will work if your head is in it.
I started out with BMI of 78 at 488lbs. Regardless of which option you choose just know it is going to be hard work and it is going to take time. WLS is not just about weight loss and physical change. You need to change mentally and if you don't any option you choose could wind up being temporary.

All will be fine. Don't work yourself up to a panic.
You can do this! We are all pulling for you

I did the same thing. Right now I'm on the pre op diet. But I have had my ducks in a row for awhile.

Auntie rose
