It is super depressing. I know I am going to lose the weight but cmon! It's so frustrating! I also have not been cleared to exercise (only allowed walking) so I am guessing that once I start exercising it will start up again.

I have lost 12-13 lbs 2 weeks post op and I am now at a standstill for 4 days. I am getting enough Protein (60g) and drinking enough. Will see my surgeon tomorrow and hopefully with get cleared to exercise. But my question is, this is making me.super anxious. Does this happen to everyone? The stall I mean. I am just very uneasy about it HW-253 SW-229 GW-145 CW-214

I am 2 weeks post op. Things get stuck for me a lot,, which is super painful. I am having A hard time learning to eat slowly. Got any tips? What did you change for "drinking water"?

Omg yes very much so!

I am doing very well! I went home the day after surgery! I was swollen in my stomach but that has gone down. I passed all the gas the day after surgery so I’m okay in the department. I’m just having a hard time with Fluid intake and drinking enough Water

I’ve been home since 3/21. Went home the following day after surgery.

I feel okay. Accept it hurts after I swallow like in my esophagus.

Im down 11 lbs since surgery 6 days ago, that seems like a lot. anyone else?

Lol you could say that! I am in significant amount of pain still but so happy!

Unfortunately yes a lot. Somehow my back got all kinked up. And gas pain.

I am officially bypassed! Yay!

I am officially bypassed!!

Thank you! I will certainly!

I am also a march RNYer! Getting super excited! My surgery is next week (March 20th)

Yes. Liquid diet is tough. But getting through it. And I'm sorry you have to postpone. It will all work out for you I just know it.

How was your appointment!?

my diet consists of 5 cartons of adkins advantage, water, clear broth or bouillon, plain gelatin no sugar added, decaffeinated coffee or tea, propel or crystal light, sugar free popsicles. super strict. I cant have pureed anything. it is a strict diet of 800 calories

thank you! you too! I have my pre op appointments with Pre anesthesia, as well as my surgeon tomorrow (Wednesday). what kind of "liquid" protein are you drinking? I am doing the adkins advantage (they only gave is 4 choices) and its terrible. not sure how I am going to do this for 2 weeks.

I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow! it is getting sooooo close! cant believe I am almost to the other side of the bench! I have been in this process for 2 years almost (insurance issues) and it has finally come! can not believe it! Wednesday 3/7 I have my pre anesthesia appointments with the pre op team and Dr Bencsath (my surgeon). so amazing to be here already!

I just realized this was a sleeve thread. but regardless, lol I am March 20th

I am the day after you! cant believe it is almost here!

I am scheduled March 20th. start my pre op liquid diet on 3/6. my liquid diet consists of 4 1/2 to 5 protein drinks, sugar free jello and sugar free popsicles. and of course water. should be fun. lol ICK
