  1. I’m getting sick of the same ol’ things I’ve been eating! What are some things you eat now that your are after the 3month post-op mark?? If you want to share recipes please do so! I need more ideas I like fun ones! Thanks in advance!

  3. I am very curious to know what a typical day looks like for people! I am only one week out of gastric bypass and I can hardly even get 20oz of liquid down (don’t even ask about protein) that’s non existent in my life right now! I feel fine everyday I take all of my vitamins and I feel great! So what does your food intake day look like from the time u wake to the time u get ready for bed? If u can add times and amounts please do so! I’m super curious even for some ideas of what I can look forward to eating! Thank you all!!
  4. Yeah I didn’t add sugar free popsicles I’ve had a few of those and tolerated! I haven’t taken pain meds since the day I left the hospital I just don’t like the way they make me feel! I did however, just eat some tomato soup and so far so good as far as tolerating it!! I do move (what the doctor considers enough) even through the pain! It’s so hard to explain thank you
  5. I know I am only 6 days post op from gastric bypass! I am super sore and this tightening in my stomach but really high up just won’t go away. I’m not getting anything over 20oz of fluids a day...today I finally got in 30g protein from a protein shake(that was me forcing myself) I feel like any movements I make hurt and even walking is really painful (I’m walking every hour or even more) I’ve lost 17lbs in 6 days which I’m sure is awesome! Is there a trick to this LOL sounds so silly to ask how can I get all this down and when does the pain start to ease? Or atleast this tightening feeling? I know everyone is different and all recoveries are different. Figured I’d ask to try new things...have only been trying water protein shakes and apple juice. I tried jell-o but I felt like it got stuck and the sensation of it after was very painful. Suggestions?? HW:360 SW: 353 CW: 337
  6. Ok I feel better to know that this happens! And I’m doing ok not really reaching goal with liquids I’ve lost 7lbs in 2 days! I really need to push more liquid! How are u doing??

  9. Do your bruises stick out and look swollen? Like puffy around the whole bruise?
  10. So they told me to ice it and the swelling for the most part went away they said to mark where it’s at and if it goes beyond the mark to come right in! As of right now I’m just monitoring it!
  11. No fever no signs of infections! I’m mostly worried about internal bleeding! I do bruise really easy but didn’t expect that big of one! The surgeon is calling me back with that I should do! Thank you for your input I will let u know how I make out!!
  12. I called and without them seeing it they just said bruising is normal I did tell them the extent to this bruising but they just kept telling me it’s normal! I’m thinking I’m gonna be heading back in there within the next few hours because it has spread since last night
  13. Has anyone dealt with pretty bad bruising? I am 3days post op and I’m not sure how normal this is!!! This bruising goes down to my pubic area! Any insight in this? I know they said some bruising is normal!
