  1. Two days post- op from my gastric bypass. The abdominal pain is the worst part particularly in bed finding a good sleeping position. I don’t take pain meds at night but they probably would help. Sipping water and getting proteins in is a full time job but I’m getting the hang of it. My favorite drinks so far have been the unjury vanilla premade drink and the unjury chicken soup. I plan to try yogurt with unflavored protein powder in the next few days. Best wish to everyone wherever you are in the journey!
  2. Thank you. Everything went well. Surgery was at 7:30 and I was in my hospital room by 1:30. Sipping water as I can and dipped my spoon in the various protein drinks from room service. Gas pain was not too bad, thankfully, but I’ve been walking the hall as I can. I dozed off most of the day on and off.

  4. Just finishing day 1 of a 3 day liquid diet. Gastric bypass on 9/6. It was mostly okay. Had to break up the sweet clear protein drinks with chicken broth with unflavored protein powder.
  5. I’m scheduled for gastric bypass on Sept 6th.
  6. Thank you! I haven’t tried FairLife yet. They are going on my shopping list.
  7. My gastric bypass is May 23rd! Surgery twins! My pre-op is not until May 11th and I find out about my pre-surgery diet at that appointment. When do you start your pre-op diet?
  8. My gastric bypass is scheduled for May 23rd. I’m over the nervousness and am excited for a new chapter. I’ve read and watched as many YouTube videos as possible. What are everyone’s favorite protein powders/shakes? I’m still looking for mine.
