Is it possible to over eat and gain weight 4 weeks post-op?
I would definitely up your calories a bit and it should kick in your loss agin— it’s what I’ve found anyway . Good luck to you, hang in there

Appetite back with a vengance!
Thank you to everyone who was/ is trying to help. I’m not sure OP is looking for our help or ways to get back on track.

Pain
Only thing that really helps that is tons of walking. When you think you’re done walking- walk more. Lay on your side and massage your stomach too- helps a bit Feel better

Hydration and exercise after bypass
Hydration isn’t an issue ! Your taste for cold or unflavored water may change but that’s easily fixed with other options! Good luck

Surgery in a few hours!
Walk as much as possible..... it helped the chest pain. For me that was gas trapped there

Stomach pain 8 weeks out
How are you feeling today? Hopefully it either passed or you went to ER

How long off work/disability?
I had the bypass and was off for 1 1/2 weeks. Was more than enough but it’s a different surgery

Goals
I’m thrilled to be where I am now but if I had to choose a goal- I would want to get to 140. It seems like the middle of the BMI range for me at 5’6”. My nutritionist said to cut that 5 more lbs to give a cushion. So I guess 135?? Seems like a pipe dream but then again- I never thought I’d see 152

Surgery day is finally here
Glad you’re doing well! Keep walkin’.....

Where do you live?- Surgery is 3 weeks away- starting to freak out a little
HA.... literally what it sounds like. Isnt a throw up, just a foamie regurgitation of sorts. No food, just foamie saliva. Gross but not painful- 2 weeks post-op
whoops, really sorry-- didnt notice- Anyone in Massachusetts????
How is everyone who had surgery since last week? Good luck to those today!- I hate protein shakes!
Premiere protein has a lot of flavors and 30 g . A bit sweet but easily watered down or added to coffee etc. vanilla is least sweet and caramel is good!- 11 days post RnY
I like the peppermint— soothes your stomach too- 2 weeks post-op
You could tell them that you’re eating many small meals which would account for the size of your meal. Good luck! - Hitting the gym HARD!
