Hello all, I'm 6 days post op Gastric bypass, and I am never ever hungry. I've been forcing myself to eat a few sips of Protein shakes and some sugar free Jello. The thought and action of eating makes me physically nauseous. I've been taking my anti nauseous medicine, but I don't feel like eating at all. I've been trying to get my fluids in...I generally do okay. I guess I just wanted to know if this is something everyone deals with or if it's normal? ❤️8/17/16

Anyone else have the constant feeling like you have to move? I can never get comfortable and I can't sleep for the life of me. I'm 6 days post op, ran out of pain meds (which were helping me fall asleep...that's all), and literally just want to cry all the time. Lol, I know I sound ridiculous but I cannot describe it. When does this phase pass?! Haha. ❤️8/17/16

Oh I completely agree with you. It was an awful mistake that I literally cannot stop thinking about. It's not something I want to mess with. I will be firmly sticking to the plan and I'll get to eat food when I can. ❤️8/17/16

When you put it that way... Lol. I was terrified to eat the bread but it smelled so damn good. Haha. ❤️8/17/16

Wasn't ever worth it. Not as good as I thought it would be. Lol. I'm trying, every day is a struggle. ❤️8/17/16

Hello! This is a short story as I only had the surgery on 8/17/16! I was discharged from the hospital the next day and have been sitting on my couch ever since! Lol. I've been in moderate pain, mainly where my incision sites are (one is really located at a bad position and is the largest which is causing me the most pain). I've been trying to get my liquids and Protein in but haven't been too successful. My goal right now is not to throw anything up. I have a hard time with the Protein shakes in general and don't really care for any of them, which doesn't help. Haha. Basically I'm looking for people to talk to about this major life change. I am only 21 and don't know of many people my age that have had this done. I want to know your guys stories and successes! It encourages me to keep going and keep strong. Thank you all! ❤️8/17/16

I wish everything the best for you! Enjoy the experience, it's once in a lifetime And congratulations about the weight loss, that is absolutely fantastic. You're doing amazing Keep up the great work and you'll do awesome ❤️8/17/16

It's so rough right now. My first post op appointment is tomorrow and I plan of discussing this issue and seeing what she tells me ❤️8/17/16

Thank you all for your replies! Since then I've been mainly focused on eating. I found myself going 6..7..8 hours without eating (and not being hungry). The thought of eating makes me nauseous. I'm working on it. Lol. Unfortunately I'm unable to sleep most nights. I can't get comfortable and often get restless. So I'm running on maybe an hour of sleep. I have my first post op visit tomorrow and plan to discuss what my options are regarding that. This lady right here needs her sleep! Lol. I love hearing about other people's stories and advice. It helps me cope and not feel so alone. ❤️8/17/16

I'm feeling about as good as to be expected. Rough times for me happen at night. I get restless and can't get comfortable enough to sleep. /: But overall I've been decent ❤️8/17/16

I'm going to, I have my first post op appt on Wednesday ❤️8/17/16

I had my surgery at Royal Oak Beaumont on 8/17/16. You can do it:) I quit smoking beforehand as well...it is tough but worth it! ❤️8/17/16

That is absolutely amazing! I've just had surgery on the 17th and you're going to be one of my inspirations! I hope to be as successful as you are a year from now. Congratulations! You look like a newer you! You are doing awesome ❤️8/17/16
