Anyone Revision/Band to Bypass in ONE operation?
Jdewv75 replied to abhamiltonnn_band2bypass's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I had my band removed and gastric bypass all in one surgery. It was no problem at all. Best decision I've ever made. I did have quite a bit of soreness where the port was removed from the muscle but pain meds helped that. I was thankful I didn't have to have another surgery. Best of Luck! You Got This!!! -
I am 12 days post op gastric bypass. I had an egg for breakfast and 2 oz flaky tapalia for lunch. Then a few hours ago I ate 5 oyster crackers. I'm still on puréed foods so I know it was wrong. I threw up about a hour ago and my stomach is still having spasms and hurts pretty bad. I assume it's dumping? Is there anything that can help? Thank You!

I know I can't expect everyone around the office to not eat anything I can't have but it's so hard! I'm 4 weeks post op gastric bypass so I'm on soft foods. I've been back to work a week and have had several crying sessions because I feel sorry for myself because I can't have that food. I'm learning a new way of thinking about food but my question is: Does anyone have a tips to surviving life in an office post op?

Am I crazy why am I hungry, depressed, not feeling full.....

For the first week and half I would cry when I saw others eating. It's a little easier 2 weeks out but I definitely get head hungry still. I think that's part of my "addiction" to food. -
I haven't related it to eating but I'm definitely a lot more cold now. Especially my hands.
-
I'm taking 3 weeks. If I had to go back I could have but it's nice to be off to adjust to the new meal plan.

Ok@berry78 I was wondering if I should do liquids. I stopped throwing up but tried some ice and my stomach started to churn.
-
Since my pouch is so small I'm surprised I threw up 3 times. I feel like I could keep throwing up but it's awful and so painful on the stomach.

I'm 12 days out. Day 6 I took some Milk of Magnesia and had a movement few hours later. And the heating pad helped with discomfort. I'm still gassy but it's better than right after surgery. -
I'm having my band removed and gastric bypass done Feb 10th. How long was everyone off work? Most things I see say 2 weeks but some people are saying 6 weeks minimum. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Gas PAINS!!!!! Liquids Post Op!!
Jdewv75 replied to Beavuz842's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I tried Milk of Magnesia and felt great after my first bowel movement. Monday. But today (Wed) the gas pains are coming back. I've also thought many times about chewing a cracker and spitting it out. This is way harder than I ever imagined! But I'm trying to remind myself this phase won't last forever and if we've gone thru the surgery we can do this!!!! -
just sleeved 2/10 and can barely reach my liquid intake

Someone On here mentioned Milk of Magnesia. I took some and walked the steps, i had a bowel movement the next morning and I felt so much better!!! -
Tomorrow I will be 4 days post op. I have severe gas pains. I have started passing gas some but the pains in between are terrible. I haven't had a bowel movement in 4 days and feel generally weak and crappy. Please tell me if this is normal. Thanks!

Jdewv75 replied to Jdewv75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok thanks Martha! I was hoping this is normal. I feel more at ease. -
