So good to hear how other August bypass folks are doing. I had my surgery Aug. 8th and tomorrow I celebrate 4 weeks post op. 40 lbs. lost pre- surgery and 12 lbs. lost since. I am feeling great and eating soft meats now, so much easier to get in the protein now. Good luck to all. Stay on track and it gets better. Hydrate and protein everyone.

When you start soft / puréed foods eat some Activia. It helps settle your bowl track. It really helped me along with the Gas X and I am 16 days post op.

I had the same thing happen to me when I had my bypass surgery last week on 8/8. No real issues except one more thing to deal with. The hospital made me switch to a pad from a tampon and wear it the whole stay. A little tricky when you are trying to walk at first down the halls with little to hold it up. Felt like it was going to fall and several times during the night I had to readjust. Underwear not very comfortable at first. Hope this helps and good luck to you.
