Thank you dear. You are always so encouraging and giving me that extra push. Are you sure you wouldn't consider it a stall... I haven't lost a y weight since surgery week and I think that was because I was hurting so badly so I wasn't drinking or anything

Thank you. I am gonna look tomorrow for it. I'm trying my best to stay on course as well as encouraged

Hi.. I'm a little lost with eating myself. I can't do the protein shakes cause they make me sick and liquids don't fill me up. I am always hungry. I did cheat and ate something I wasn't and ended up miserable and eventually had to vomit it up

Thank you so much. The entire transition has been very hard and I was thinking I would have more than 11 pounds by now but I guess my body is slow

Hello Everyone, I am new to the forum and new with my surgery. I started this journey last year in November and I was able to have my surgery last Monday which was June 26th. Today is 1 week post opt and im reaching out for help. Not sure if anyone has been experiencing these things that I have but at the moment I'm so very discouraged. So for starters I am always feeling like I'm hungry. I do miss eating. The thing is even when I try to drink liquids or do the jello it literally hurts my new pouch. It's like I feel a stabbing pain when anything is in there which discourages me to try. I'm very worried because my urine is almost like a dark brown color so I know I'm getting dehydrated. My mouth is always dry and it's hard when you can only sip... Seems to never take that thirsty feeling away. Then I can wake up energized but seems once I start to move around I very easily and quickly get tired /weak. I haven't been able to take my vitamins as well. If there anyone out there that can shed some light on this? I'm very sad and depressed behind this and wondering if I made a mistake by having the bypass. Please respond back anyone. Thank you in advance.

Yes that is a great suggestion as well

Thank you so much. I definitely will try that. I been drinking decaf tea for 45 minutes now... I don't feel bad or full so is that ok

Hi Everyone. I had my bypass on 6/26/17 and I only told maybe 5 people. I got such negative looks or remarks from people when I mentioned I was considering it so I decided it wasn't a need to talk about it. I did have a hiatal hernia so when people ask I am gonna say I had the hernia removed and now I can't eat alot of stuff that I could initially.

Hi there. I had my bypass too on 6/26/17. I haven't had 1 either but I was wondering was it due to the fact that we haven't really been eating? How do you feel otherwise? It's been very hard on me so far with emotions low, hungry all the time, very tender and no energy.

I am late with this but I will some of the suggestion. I am 1 week today with my bypass and I too am experiencing the pain with sipping. I asked around to people in my support group and no one knows what I'm talking about so it feels good to know that I am alone. I think I'm dehydrated because the pain keeps me from wanting to put anything in my mouth but I will try harder.

Thank you ladies. I truly appreciate your help. My daughter found a link on here from 2012 where someone posted about the pain after swallowing and they are saying it's trapped air. Also communicated that if you mix your water with something to break it done it helps because water is a heavy substance. I'm trying praying this is it. So far today I got an entire Dasani water down today. I know it's not much but way more than I have been consuming. Just please keep me uplifted in prayer. I will keep you posted.
