Sept 17 here for bypass. Good luck everyone and godspeed.

September 9th here for gastric bypass!! Hoping everyone has a safe surgery and fast recovery 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Same as mine. It will be an interesting 5 days!

I am 4 days post and my tummy hurts! The larger of my incisions is on the upper right side of my abdomen and is so swollen it's like a knot. Add in the never-ending bloating and gas pain...geesh. To add insult to injury my Dr. Decided to change my BP MEDS to one with no diuretic at discharge. I think that's the reason for the horrible bloat. Because of bloat & gas I seem to be gaining. This is depressing

I haven't found anything that I can't tolerate (which is good and bad....) There are some things that I don't care much for anymore (got out of the habit, tastes change, etc.) Pot roast doesn't settle or satisfy as well as good steak, but it still works (have one cooking now...) bread is fine - make a couple small sandwiches for road trip days, but otherwise don't have much. Fruits and veg are all fine (except for the ones that I never liked); lettuce works fine for salads (some have problems with that for some reason) though I usually use spinach owing to its somewhat better nutritional values. It is not uncommon to acquire lactose intolerance, though I haven't.
