Tip to you all! Do not buy too much of any protein shakes, powders and ect. Your taste buds WILL change after surgery. Mine was on 2/23 I am almost 2 weeks post op. 2 protein shakes a day along with a small meal under 300 calories is the good. I did Lean Cuisines, Health Choice because they had lots of delicious varieties so you dont get bored. Good luck to you all!

Mines was the 23rd...The pain is better then what I thought. I just dread having to cough, its the worse. Good luck on your journey!

He said what? What is wrong with dome of these surgeons. They can be so insensitive at times. You're gonna shit him up and everyone else. What is considered enough weight to that man? Ive seen people gain for their pre op and still got the surgery done.

Thank you so much I really needed to hear this...I go for my first post op Thursday I pray my diabetes is gone. I got my glucose numbers low months before this surgery. When is your first appt?

Far as protein I can get maybe 30 grams a day but the protein causes me to cough up a mucus like substance as if I had a cold. I have a small feeling of regret like what did I do myself and other times I feel okay. My husband tries to encourage me and tell me I will do great but rightnow my pain has not gotten any better. My cousin tells me I will feel like this in the beginning but once the pain stops and I get healthier I would see the benefits and feel amazing. I have had laporascopic surgery before and was fine within a few days. Now having a 1, 5, and 7 year old who needs me everyday makes the healing process harder even though I know this was a longer and more serious surgery procedure then before. I think im being impatient and just ready to atleast be pain free.

How are you feeling today? Did or do you feel emotional? My emotions are all over the place and completely out of nowhere. I was feeling so excited up until today. Ugh

I was thinking the same. My cousin told me your full if your chest starts to hurt. She had bypass done 4 years ago

Im doing better then I thought I expected, trying to get some movement in and walk around. Im just being impatient and ready for the pain to stop. Lol, how are you?

I know thats right, good for you! A decision loke this is not easy to tell everyone. We live in such a judgemental word. Sometimes its best to tell a few instead of a million Lol. As of now I feel nothing but pain Lol. No emotions or hormones just yet

Thats sad, I wish my husband would. He helped me take a shower and washed the first day home. Henis a very strong and secure man. If he loves you his love should be unconditional. Did he pay attention to his vows? Good luck honey! Just try to seek some help if you feel the marriage is worth it. But never let a man abuse your confidence and self esteem.

Its very normal, my right side hurts more then the left where my stomach is located. And I have a deeper dent on the left where it hurts. Its from all muscle and tissue they have to cut through. I am a 2/23 bypass

I have that plan in Ohio and they required the supervised diet. I am 5 days post op

Its good to have evennif they dont require it, some places are different buy EVERYONE I know had one. H-Pylori can be serious and lead to cancer if untreated. I had a upper endoscopy done and tested positive for H Pylori. Thanks god I was tested because I would have not know until I caught stomach cancer. I am now 5 days post op bypass. Good luck

This is a good place to start! There are some really helpful forums on here with that kind of stuff. Support is important to have even if its 1 person, or you will stall and become depressed. I truly hope you find the help you need to get thru this storm. God bless you

I did it from my phone but I notice you have to keep pressing that menu area at the top and the timeline. And yes that gas pain is the worse I have been passing since thursday. Make you wonder how much was put in us. I have that same fweling and still trying to figure it out. Those gas x pills are magic Lol
