Im also having the same issues 1week post op. My doctor attributes it to "what happens to your body after a major surgery." Have you had your blood pressure checked? If not, i would. Keep drinking liquids!!!!!

Lol...yeah it was tough...took me and my buddies 15min to fight him. It was fun. He was 7lbs shy of our state record. I tossed him back

Thanks for the words of encouragement! Thanks Joy! PA IN THE HOUSE!!! I ate them as a dare from my nephews, lol. Thank you for your words, it eases my mind being reminded that I WILL get better.

Its funny, I tried the same shakes today and they dont seem AS BAD. I mean, they're bad...but not like OMFG Bad. I'm taking the same chewables that you are, got them from the great Amazon.com Thanks for liking my fish....here is my biggest

HEY!! I'm pretty much on the same road you are, I had the surgery July 31st (GB) and everything tastes HORRIBLE!!!! I have moments where I feel down and anxious but then I feel better. I started Protein shakes yesterday and they taste absolutely horrible to me! All the vitamins and supplements, ugh....feels overwhelming at times doesn't it?

Hey All....NE Philadelphia here....Had my surgery done at Jeans Hospital on July 31 2014

NE Philadelphia. Mayfair!!!! Hi all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Chrissy!!! I am one week post op and we had the same Doctor!

I sat in my patio chair out front and the side bars weren't digging into my legs!!! VICTORY!!

Hi Everyone. I had my gastric bypass July 31st 2014. I am so happy I came across this forum so I can talk to other folks who also know what I'm going through. I am from Philadelphia PA. My pain 8 days out is MUCH better. My main struggle now is drinking Protein shakes, That taste and smell horrible to me. I asked my nephew and brother to take a sip of my Protein shake and they both said how good it was. I was shocked. I was NEVER a picky eater (I've eaten mealworms, fireflies, raw octopus etc) The one thing I am starting to contribute this to is my heightened sense of smell since the surgery. I can smell everything. Has anyone else had this problem? Does it go away? Anyway... I AM still drinking these shakes but its a tough struggle for me. Another big nasty for me are the HUGE multivitamins i have to take, my word, nasty. I hope eventually I can go on pill forms of my Multi, Calcium Nitrate etc. My 1 week post-op visit was yesterday. Everything looks great except for my blood pressure was high, which is concerning since I had my blood pressure under control for 5 years pre-op. I ordered myself a blood pressure monitor from Amazon which should arrive today. I'm also getting winded and fatigued very easily which is limiting my daily activities. Doc says 1-2 weeks after using my protein shakes I should start seeing an improvement. Hope so. I attached a recent photo of my so you can put a face to this text. Have a great day! Don
