I had my bypass May 6, 2019 and I also have pcos... I’m also down 23 pounds as well. I lost 9 pounds during my 5 day pre liquid diet and 14 pounds after surgery. This is Day 10 for me from surgery.

I've noticed some people become diet experts after THEIR surgery. Often I see comments about how YOU should eat because that's what works for THEM. You have to do what works for you and don't let others dictate or make you feel inferior because the way you choose to lose your weight. This is YOUR journey not theirs. There is a fine line that people sometimes cross when giving advice that crosses over to being condescending. So if eating clean all the time is your thing, go for it , or if you choose to "eat in moderation" because your a big girl/boy and can add a "treat" into your macros and be accountable at the same time go for it. DO YOU!

Hi Gabybab,
I am sorry you see it that way. I really do try to always be kind.
I just really think we might be getting our leg pulled here.... If you look at some of the other posts (that got shut down by mods) in the last few hours because of proven trolls they look just like this one. Same wording etc.
If it comes out that I am wrong I will be the first to PERSONALLY apologize. Promise.
Either way, I respect your right to disagree. 💙 Take care!

Milk of magnesia is better in my opinion. It works way faster than Miralax. Get a ice pack in case you have an incision that hurts worse than the others. Protein Shakes, sugar free Jello, broth. Plenty of Water.

Let's keep posting and sharing on this thread to keep it active so we encourage each other! PCOS is a special kind of torture!

Awesome and you’re sooo welcome. Make sure you keep that ice pack on it. My nurse said 20mins on and 20mins off but I just kept it on. Made sure I wrapped it in a towel and put it directly on that incision. Take those pain meds and good luck with your recovery :)

Yep that’s exactly how it was with me. That was my first question I asked him. That one just kept giving me problems. Felt like I pulled a muscle or strained something. A weird painful feeling.

I had that issue as well. Had my bypass May 6th and went to my first week post op yesterday and my surgeon said he had to go deeper down in my muscle. I used a ice pack and made sure to take my oxy and Tylenol... I’m doing just fine now. The ice pack really helped me.

I had mines May 6th. Gastric bypass. I was npo after surgery except ice chips. But now I’m feeling sooo much better and down 20 pounds. I’m suppose to be on pureed foods starting yesterday but I’ve kind of skipped to soft foods. Had some Wendy’s chili yesterday. Will be having the rest of it today. Also I’m making tuna salad today for tmrw. I see my surgeon today so hope all good news...and congratulations to everyone that’s already had surgery and the ones that are scheduled. The best thing I’ve ever done. I have no nausea and no vomiting whatsoever. My stomach tolerates everything without upsetting it.

Bypass, and I drink the already made premiere Protein Shakes.
