Hey november11, this is a great forum, but I thought it was for sleeves, and I had a bypass so I thought I'd start one on the bypass forum.
Hey, I can tell by your stats that we've lost the same amount of weight! Yay for us!?

Sheila, Hi! I’m averaging 2 lbs a week, which to me, is phenomenal. Just started back at the gym yesterday. I realize I have to up my water. Im the type that doesn’t sweat externally, and didn’t pee at all.
Haven’t been in 2 yrs. Starting at Silver Sneakers and it’s kicking my butt. Starting at an every other day regimen to heal my muscles, and hope to go to everyday. Final plan is to attend Zumba and other classes at my gym.

I was Nov. 6th too! How are you doing so far?

Calories for the First Six Months
Immediately after surgery, your doctor will place you on a liquid meal plan, which helps your stomach heal from surgery. You gradually progress to pureed and soft foods before eating solid foods and establishing a normal bariatric meal plan. Once you're able to eat solid foods, the typical gastric bypass meal plan for the first six months consists of three small meals and two snacks for a total of between 1,000 and 1,300 calories per day.
Calorie Breakdown
The goal of your post-surgery meal plan is to get enough nutrients while adjusting to the smaller size of your stomach. Aim to balance each meal with protein and vegetables or fruit and get at about 50 grams of protein daily. If you're following a 1,000- to 1,300-calorie post-surgery meal plan a good goal is to have two snacks contain 100 to 150 calories each. Based on the calorie range of this plan, your three main meals contain roughly 250 to 350 calories each.

Hey! So I was worried about the same thing. The day of

hey girl.... you may need to increase your calories... that's kinda low for all the you do even without the workout it's low . your body may be in starvation mode which makes it hold on to the weight... try increasing those calories with good stuff though...

Thank you. I'm getting really excited now, two more days and off to surgery I go!!!Congratulations on returning to work. I'm only taking one week off, I hope that's enough?

Good luck !

I'm right there with you. Protein water and really, shakes, make me gag right now for some reason. My saving grace has been adding Genepro to soups and sugar-free hot chocolate. I also couldn't stomach the traditional protein shakes for some reason, so I switched to one cup of skim milk with Carnation Instant Breakfast Light Start (no added sugar), with a scoop of Genepro. That packs a protein punch of over 35 grams. You can add it to anything. I haven't tried adding it to regular water, though. I personally have a Moroccan Mint green tea bag in my water bottle and I sip that all day without a problem. I think the mint calms my stomach.

Wonderful!

Hey @november11 you haven't updated in a while, are you doing ok?

I'm having a gastric sleeve on Nov 26th in Tijuana. I only have a 3 day pre-op diet of clear liquids and protein shakes, so I won't be starving for 2 weeks like most of you have. I see most of you have had your surgery already. How did it go? How do you feel? I plan on taking a week off before returning to work....anyone having a hard time recuperating?

Getting close!

On the loser's bench and feeling quite good. Tired and feels like too many situps. Just so happy it's over [emoji2][emoji380][emoji2]

Mine is on 11/19. Please add me. Thanks.

Awesome! I'm having mine done tomorrow as well! Good luck to you!

Howdy!
This is my very first post. Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday 11/19 and tomorrow I do clear liquids only, then... THE DAY. I’ve lost 25 lbs so far - 10 to get clearance and 15 in this two-week pre-op diet.
I’m nervous/excited!

Hey guys
Just a fast update. I lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks and I'm feeling good mentally but fatigue is creeping up

All set for tomorrow ! Super nervous I feel like I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight ?
