LoveMyBypass

I don't know if you have alread tried it or not, but I put 6 oz of lite apple juice into a 32 oz bottle and filled the rest with Water. I drank that the whole day yesterday and today I had a good BM. I've been so relaxed today after that. I was shocked that it worked since I only used 6 oz. It's worth a try, no?

Yey!!! 15 pounds is great! Congratulations!! Wooahhhh! Chicken & pasta?! OMG. That's insane! Everything I put in my mouth goes through a nut milk bag first. To make sure there are no hidden chunkies that might later be a problem. I was telling my mother that I don't know if I'll be ready to eat pureed foods when that time comes. That is so scary.

Dang, that means it will still hurt after they are removed. So lucky for me, I am not suffering from head cravings. Yey.. I am staying with my mom while I recover because I am single and live alone. She is just cooking up a storm. You know how it is when your mother cooks.. WOAH! I could eat her rice alone without anything. Fortunately for me, it's not bothering me in the least bit. I'm very lucky for that too. I have to say that I have been very lucky during my recovery. Today is my first day without pain meds. Keep your head up ladies, it will only get better now.

I only have pain on my left side now. My surgeon said that when they stapled me on that side, they got some muscle. They said it's perfectly normal. I hope it goes away once my staples are removed. I'm so tired of these staples that I'm actually searching stores that sell surgical staple removers. My incisions are perfectly healed. But my clothes moves the staples and then it becomes irritated at the staple holes. Sorry... short rant of frustration...

That's wonderful @@yescres07 !!! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Good morning and happy 1 week anniversary! Hehe.. What are your weights for week 1? HW - 253.6 SW - 231.8 CW - 225.4 TWL - 28.2 LBS Since surgery, I've only lost 6.4 pounds but, I gained 3.2 right after surgery and I lost that too. So I really lost 9.6 pounds. Maybe I should change my surgery weight to 235 since that is what I weighed right after surgery. What do you guys think!?

I'm so sorry Pup

Yeah I only go for 4 oz of soup. But I only eat it once a day. I try to get my Protein in the rest of the time. And Water after that. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

So, today was my consultation with my surgeon. I was so nervous because I was supposed to lose 25 pounds and I've only lost 22. BUT everything went well. We discussed which surgery was right for me and he agreed with me when I said I wanted bypass surgery. I'm a sugar freak and he agreed that the bypass was the better choice. He explained a few things I already knew, I asked all the questions I needed to ask. My number one concern was... When can I go to Disneyland? Lol. He said right after but please please please remember to drink drink drink or you'll end up in the hospital the next day for dehydration. Anyway, my surgery date is May 24, but I am on the cancellation list. Who knows maybe I can get surgery earlier. It's finally real to me. It's finally happening and I am so excited. Just wanted to express my happiness. [emoji2] [emoji1] [emoji106]

Yes I did, I'm 6 days Post-Op now. Today I'm finally feeling like myself. First 3 days I had TERRIBLE gas. It was so bad that I wanted to go to emergency because it just couldn't be normal to feel like that. I ended up taking milk of magnesium that night and everything was great the following morning. The pain from my insides is still there but it's much improved since day one. I am lucky to say I never experienced nausea, so that is definitely a plus for me. My incisions are mostly healed and I'm so ready for my staples to be removed. I only have pain on my left side, but the doctor warned me about that pain since day one. I'm not up to 64 oz of liquids yet, but I am getting up to 54. Maybe today is the day!!

I completely agree with you @@macdonaldkelly I'm waiting for my pay check to buy 3 different more Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Oh I see it is made with sucralose... well.. this is the brand my nutritionist recommended. So I don't mind it. On top of that, they're really good.

I don't add anything to it. It doesn't need it. It has zero grams of sugar and I posted the ingredients. This particular brand is chocolate truffle. I just add fat free lactate milk and there is breakfast.

Here you go! ❤ _______________ HELLOOO!!! I just wanted to update as of today 3/28/2016, they are still selling the sampler for 16.99 (shipping included). I just called the number and didn't think it would work, but it did. YEY. They said it was only a one time buy for the variety pack. After that we have to buy a jar. But it is worth to try all the flavors and check which one you like the best. The number is still 1.866.333..7403 EX 803 They asked where I heard of it and I said BariatricPal and they knew about the site. lol

nectar is the best! They have lots of flavors and they are fruity too. Even sweets. It's thin and goes down well. I had 64 grams today. Finally. Now I just need to finish my liquids to complete 64 ounces. Earlier I replied to Pup and have her a number she can call to get a sample pack for nectar. Maybe you should call too just to try it out. I'm sure you'll love it too

Man, I think I'm lucky then. We just celebrated birthdays today... they had so much food. chips, cakes, soda, pot pie lasagna, pizza and I don't want any of it. I'm so happy and thankful for that. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

This message is for anyone who is still throwing up, or has thrown up. As I have said before, I was blessed to not experience nausea. When I brush my tongue, I am so careful to not go too far so I don't gag. I don't know what happened just now, but I was no where near careful. I brushed like I did before surgery and I gagged once. It was sooo painful that my eyes teared up. So I want to give HUGE kudos to everyone of you who is or has thrown up. You are some tough people. I don't know how I would have done it. You're awesome and you deserve a pat on the back!

I had the RNY done. So when your day comes, I'll be happy to answer ANY question you might have.

That's great @@Pup if your lack of BM isn't giving you terrible gas like it did me, then you're doing great! I just started taking my Vitamins and my alarm rings every 6 hours. I'm going back to sleep now. ON ANOTHER NOTE: I never realized until today that we have a very good thing going here. I've been to other forums on this app and they're littered with people who are immature and sarcastic. I mean sarcastic to the level of bullying. It's just terrible. Why be a part of any forum with that attitude? I'm so happy to have all of you here participating.

Soooooo... does anyone ELSE have advice they wish they would have listened to after surgery?So we can stop arguing about hair? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Yey!!! ???????????? I drank 55 ounces today. Not 64 yet, but I know there's still tomorrow! How is everyone else doing with their fluids? I have been so blessed to not have experienced nausea. Not even one tiny gag. I'm very grateful for that.

When is it your time? @krazy kat

I was suffering big time from gas. I took a tablespoon of milk of magnesium. My gas is gone and I had a BM. If gas is what's keeping you from consuming liquids, you should consider some milk of magnesium. It helped me a lot! I was suffering so much. Today I managed to consume 42 ounces of liquid and I still have 2 hours before bed. Everyday it gets better. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

After that fainting scare, I haven't tried to cheat once! I'm scared to feel that again. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App
