I just crossed my legs. I could never do that before. It was so natural like I've been doing it all my life.

grilled tilapia, haricovert and mashed potatoes.

I had about 3ounces of fish, one whole green bean and just a taste of potato. Wonderful!!

First day of stage 3. I had a scrambled egg. It was good. I was expecting amazing. I think I'm just happy to have the sensation of chewing and eating again more than anything.

My Sx is Thursday! Very excited question ... What Protein Drink did you use???

I use Muscle Milk. Low sugar and they have a high Protein version that has 32g per serving. The less I had to drink to reach my daily goal the better. They come in vanilla, chocolate, banana, and Cookies and cream. I like the taste but I haven't tried any of the other kinds other than Slimfast which is great but had more sugar.

I'm three weeks out now. Get plenty of rest and do your best to get in your fluids. Make sure you do your walking and, if you are staying in hospital for a few days, make sure you let your nurses know if you are having pain before it gets overwhelming.

Don't be too hard on yourself. It's a little different for everyone. You can do this!

I haven't gone clothes shopping yet but I'm sure when I do I'll need a smaller size and can go to stores other than Lane Bryant. As of today I've lost 25 pounds!!

Still on the liquid phase of post op. I'm on a week out. I'm using Muscle Milk. Tastes fine but it does get old.

Hello again and thanks for the welcome. I was released yesterday my only requirement was too pass gas and I was good to go! My pain is minimal and very grateful for that. I'm having no problems drinking liquids, still not feeling the sensation of fullness not even after my Protein shake. I'm using Muscle Milk. I like the flavor and I'm a very picky eater anyway so I can eat the same food over and over again.

I can't wait to eat food again. My post op is actually three weeks away but I'm going to call and see if I can get something around the two week mark.

Hi

I had gastric bypass surgery on Monday. I had a hernia and some scar tissue from a previous surgery that was corrected.

Today is my third day in the hospital and I am so ready to go home. I can actually drink plenty of liquid in regular sips. Not sure if that will change because I can't tell if I'm full or not. I'm burping a lot and feeling the gas move around inside my tummy. So weird.

Bye for now.
