I just had my bypass 2 days ago. It's not painless, I have been very sore. I haven't been hungry at all. I have felt thirsty and I just wish I could guzzle my water down but I know I can't. Don't be scared. So far I am VERY happy that I have done this. I am also down 4 lbs since my surgery on Tuesday. Feel free to ask me any questions. Good luck!

I am 2 days post op and in feeling pretty good. Of course I am having a lot of pain and my pain meds make me itch all over. My biggest problem is that I am soooo thirsty. I cannot just gulp my ice water down line I want to ????. I never feel like I have quenched my thirst. I have actually learned to spice my chicken broth up enough so I look forward to it. Lol. I am so excited about this start to my new life. I am dreading having to drink the protein shakes. I just feel nauseous at the thought of it. I don't like them. I do know my dr told me it will probably take me all day to get the 8oz shake down. I would love to hear from other bypassers and how you are doing.

Thank you all for the advice. What protein shakes so you like best?

I'm having mine in Atlantans, GA on Oct 8th.

Thank you so much for the encouragement Jodi. You are so sweet. I have been waiting for so many years to get this done. I guess I just want to make sure it's successful. ????

Ckaymo23 I am using Dr McGill at Piedmont. I love him.

I live in Newnan.

Good luck to you too amp2014

Thank you Angelyaya5. You are so right and I am trying to keep that in my head that I don't need to expect to drop as much as quickly as others have. I am nervous about being able to not go back to my old ways in the future that got me where I am now. I will definitely use this for support. I really appreciate you advice and kinds words.

Good luck. Will be thinking about you. Keep us posted.

Thank you so much!!!! I have been researching this for years. I am so ready to get my weight off and start feeling better.

I am very nervous but excited. I have been wanting to have this done for years but just got insurance that actually covered it this year. Any suggestions or tips?

I am set to have my surgery on October 7th. I am so excited and nervous. I was just looking at the calendar and realized it's about 2 weeks away. Would to love keep up with you and see how things are going.

Congratulations!!!! I just got approved and found out my surgery date is Oct 7th.
