I'm two weeks post-op and just got weighed at my PCP. I'm down 20 pounds and I still can't believe it. Ahhhh! ????

KylieD87,
I have only been told it's different for everyone. I wish there was a way to say it feels like this ... but how I perceive when I am full won't be how you feel it. I know that sounds messed up, but it's the truth.
I hope you figure it out with out getting sick, because that is the worst ... I mess up ever once and a while and over do it. I spend all day & night feeling horrid ... sweating, in excruciating pain, light headed (even passed out), shakey, and the worse is the vomiting. One lady told me I could feel cold liquid as it "dumps" from my pouch, in all my years I have never felt it.
Good luck.

Thank you! I'm honestly so surprised how good I feel. On Tuesday, I never expected to be able to go. I'm feeling better every day. Hopefully I continue to.

Thanks, Trish!
My discharge nurse told me to measure and time everything I drink so that I don't get too full, and ultimately vomit.
That's where my question stems from.

Yesterday was pretty rough, but I'm 100% better today. Going home later this morning.

Kylie. I'm so glad you're feeling so good gives me hope. Continued great recovery to you v

I feel like a kid on Christmas. I woke up well before my alarm and couldn't go back to sleep. I report at 8 and have surgery at 10.
Good luck to everyone starting their journey today! Sending love, prayers, and good vibes your way. ❤

How's everyone feeling? I must say, I'm feeling pretty fantastic, all things considered.

Thanks so much, guys! I have season tickets for the Pittsburgh Penguins, so missing one game wouldn't be the end of world, but I was hoping to get to this one.
I'm already planning to take it slow and not push to go. If I feel up to it, my mom will be driving and I may ask for a wheelchair to get to my seats. I can get up and move around or stand during the game if I get uncomfortable, too, so I'm taking that into consideration as well.
I had emergency back surgery in April and was in the hospital for 38 days, so my pain tolerance is already high, lol.
I appreciate all of the responses! <3

Don't forget to take a "before" photo and measurements today! I did my photo last night.

My bypass surgery is on Monday. I'm getting so excited!

I've been posting for 12 hours and already feel surrounded by love and support.
I'm much less scared and way more excited now.

Great job! So happy for you.

My surgeon also does not require a pre-op diet, so I'm thankful for that. One less thing to be nervous about.
