Congrats, Karl!!!!!

Hi Karl! I have had some upper back pain, but I am thinking mine is exercise related. You may want to check with your doctor just to be on the safe side.

Yay, Karl !!!!!!!!????????????????

You're doing awesome!!!????????

That's about all I am able to eat at 6 weeks out. It amazes me! lol

Thanks for the advice, guys. I find that my tastes are changing and am not able to tolerate protein drinks like I once was. I have been using Unjury, but have also tried Premier Protein.

I slept one night in my recliner, but then slept fine in the bed. I propped some pillows around myself. I was lucky that my incisions did not cause me any pain.

Great job, Tcon!!!

Hi friends! Yesterday was my 4 week post-op. Things are going well. I have been able to tolerate soft foods and am beginning to add "regular" goods a little at a time. The only issue I have is the one that most of you have talked about.......constipation. It is a struggle to get in the 80 grams of Protein and 64 ounces of Fluid, but I will continue to strive to make it!

Thanks!!!

Karl, I am now 4 weeks out and just now able to walk about 30 minutes. Take it easy. I had very little energy the first two weeks and just walked in my house; however, I live in Texas where the lows have been in the 80s and the highs have been 100-101. That was another good reason to walk in the house! lol

Great news!!! I bet it was as good as filet mignon!!

I have been using Biotene mouth spray.

Keeping you in prayer, Karl! Glad you are on the bench!

Excited for you! See you on the losers bench. I just scooted over to make room.

Great news, KeddyKat!

Yay, Karl!!! Welcome to the bench, sir. Please keep us updated.

I am so happy for you, Karl! We are here to support you. Please keep us posted as soon as you feel up to it. Congrats!!

Thanks for sharing. I am getting tired of shakes!

Woo Hoo!!!!!!! Happy for you!

I felt the same way in the days leading up to my surgery. I was elated, yet terrified. I knew I was making the right decision and am so happy I went through with it. I will say a prayer for you. You can do it!

I promise it gets better. By day 3, I was finally okay and was not craving foods. You can do it, Karl!

Gumpgal, I am sorry to hear you are having some issues. I would definitely check with the doctor on Monday. It is always better to be on the safe side.

I am so excited to hear you had your surgery and that you are doing well. I have been remiss in checking the forum. Welcome to the Losers Bench. I am scooting over to make room!!

I also had the bypass
