I had my surgery 4-8 and I feel the EXACT SAME WAY..... I can't get my Vitamins in I can barely eat and when I do I have to recover from that....They say get your vitamins in her your Protein in AND IT'S LIKE HA HA how the heck and on top of that I have the h pylori virus which means antibiotics 3 pills 4 times a day SO THAT IS WHAT I EAT ALL DAY LONG

I had surgery the same day.. at first when I was on a liquid diet right after surgery it was so easy.. but once I introduced food.. it all went down hill from there

I am 1 month post op and I am so unhappy .. I hate having to eat.. it's a chore.. I never get my Protein in or my Water intake.. let alone my vitamins... Everyday I say this is a new day try.. but I always feel full ..when I do eat .. I feel blah.. no matter what I eat.. I try to follow my plan to the T.. and I've only lost 18 lbs since surgery day.. I don't have energy ever.. I started walking more.. nothing crazy about a mile a day.. I knew this was going to be hard but I am on such a funk.. idk how to get myself out!!! HELP!!!

In reply to everyone:

Ok, thanks.

My doctor knows all this & says that it could go either way, just like my fibro. It could get better, stay the same, or get worse. Maybe if I am lucky I will get the bloody uterus yanked. I have no kids & 35yrs old so he doesn't want me to even consider yanking it.

I use to get really bad periods..I use to wear a tampon and a pad.. I hand the mirena iud .. it lightens your period alot.. maybe is something u can look Into

Hey everybody. I'm 12 weeks post op. My surgery was January 13 and I have lost 69 pounds since then. I have a check up tomorrow so I'll dibs out how much I've lost. I feel like I've been doing well with walking and working out. But right now I feel like my cravings are coming back. I can only eat 3oz of food right now. And my stomach can't handle more cause I get sick. I've been keeping up with my protien intake and Water. But I am craving crunchy in my life! I want crackers or chips or something. Any suggestions. I heard something about kale chips. I'm do worried because the last thing I want to do its go back to being over 500lbs. Btw on the day I had surgery I was 542lbs. Last doctor's appointment I was 473. So I'll let you know how tomorrow goes. Anyways. Help a sister out.[/quote

Quest Protein chips... they have bbq.. sour cream and onions and a few others.. they have 21 grams of Protein

Had surgery April 1st. Going back to Dr tomorrow morning. I can't eat or drink anything. They took me off puree food and said just clear liquids until I see the Dr.

How come you were taken off puree?

Hey I had the bypass done 4/8/15 ..and I am healing well and doing good with my liquids stay strong and would love to be your friend

I am also going good..getting my liquids in and walking

Finally had surgery on 4/8 @730 am

. I'm home now.. pain is manageable.... I had a bowel movement... tryna get my liquids in..

I am anxious.. I have to be at the hospital @530.. I doubt I'm getting any sleep.. we are going to have surgery around the same time.. Twins!! Let me know how everything goes.. I will say a prayer for you!!

I just tried unjury chicken Soup Protein and it was good. It really hit the spot.[/quote

MESparkle83 what is Unjury chicken soup???

It's a Protein mix.

Unjury is the brand and it's like the protein shakes but in chicken broth. You drink it warn n it's one of my favorite so far.

Hey are u excited?? My surgery is at 730 am

I still have 5 more days to go but I could just imagine.. Just close ur eyes and think about how u are going to look and feel in a few months.. God bless u and congrats ????

I did NOT think it would be this bad. I am on day 2 and totally just cheated and didn't strain my chicken and rice Soup ???? I am flipping starving. My family went out to eat to spare me the smells of dinner and while I am grateful I still almost cried when they left ????

I'm on day 4 and today was way better than yesterday.. I cried on Sunday it was that bad.. Not hunger but the headache and feeling dizzy.. It does get better.. I was doubting the surgery also and I'm not having surgery I until April 8th.. chicken broth does help a lot!!
