Hi All, Heidi again! I'm now 10 days post-op! I'm feeling really good. I have a question for those similar to me or those who are beyond my stage. My surgeon is pretty aggressive with our timeline for introducing new foods. Week 1 -liquids, week 2- purée and some soft food (i.e. Cottage cheese, loose mashed potatoes, yogurt), week 3 soft food with not liquid during and after meals ( canned tuna, scrambled egg, 1/4 slice of toast) I haven't really been hungry, per se, but I want to ensure I am on target with my intake of protein and calories. I'm averaging under 200 calories and I'm trying to walk. Question: what are others eating at this point? I have had no negative effects to anything I have tried. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks! HW 303 SW 290 CW 271 GW 150

I had my surgery at 10am Tuesday 9/5 and I went home the next evening. With that said it will really depend on your surgeon and how you're doing.

Thanks@zallykatz16! I'm doing much better today!

Hi there! I had my bypass on 9/5 and would love some additional support! I'm in Upstate NY. Doing pretty well except for an incredibly irritating cough! Keeps me up so I haven't really had a good night sleep. Other than that everything went great and felling exponentially better each day!

Hi! I had my bypass surgery on 9/5. Everything went great but I have had a maddening cough since the day I left the hospital. Lungs are clear. Hoping that it passes soon. Haven't been able to sleep due to it. Other than that, I'm pretty pleased with my progress. Good luck to those with dates approaching!
