Napua

One year anniversary down 50 lbs, continue weight lifting, gardening, etc. Feel so much healthier and every thing shrank and presently in size small.

BariMelts works great for me. Good luck you all.

FYI:
My husband love to eat on vacation. Told him to enjoy his food. If Soup is available I will order soup and he can have my left over soup.
At my post op appt. my doctor stated to be sure to chew well and eat moist food. If I do not feel like eating, I will ask for hot Water and drink my hot chocolate or Cream of chicken packets from BariatricPal order.
Being one month post op, I do not feel like eating but I meet my Protein intake with the BariatricPal replacement meals and drinks that I just add water.

4 months post op now. XL to small size now. Presently doing strength training. Pass menapause stage that increased weight to severe obesity stage with apnea. I feel healthier and this was my goal from the beginning. I was told one year after surgery for my body to make changes before considering plastic surgery. I take it one day at a time.

I am presently 7 weeks post op. I calculated 5 lbs per week loss thus far. Feeling great, no problem in nutrition due to ordering food from Bariatric Pal. For example the oatmeal Cereal packets, I add in a small amount of old fashion oatmeal to it. My nutrition recommended me to increase to 1 cup verses 1/2 cup. Gastric bypass on Aug 28, 2020 with total loss of 37 lbs. Feel good, some straining in the beginning for BM but now it is much better with increase liquid intake of up to 8 cups per day. Meeting all my Vitamin and Protein intake. I also eat with a baby spoon that helps me control food intake. I use FairLife liquid instead of regular milk for cereal and liquid intake. So much easier with the packets/foods from Bariatric Pal. I do sugar free popsicles as well. No ice cream cause this was one of my down falls prior to surgery. It feels so good to fit in smaller clothing with ease instead of struggling to put it on or off. My husband is proud of me and very supportive. By watching me lose the weight, he is watching his food intake and lost weight with food Portion Control. Good luck to each of you on your journey.

I had purchased patch Vitamins and EZ melt vitamins to meet Vitamin requirements. Purchased Propel Water at Sam's club, 15g Protein, 0 cal, 0 sugar to meet liquid intake to prevent Constipation. Purchased from Bariatric pal Soups, chocolate drinks, shakes replacements to be sure all protein was met. After surgery on the 28th of August 2020, no pain, some discomfort. Went home the next day after x-ray showing no leakage at mayo Hospital in Florida. I did walk in place in the hospital to help release excess gas. I did purchase a abdominal binder on Amazon and used it after the surgery. This helped a great deal and Dr said this was a good idea to do this. My goal is BMI 20 or less. Enjoy your healthy journey. Dr. Stephen Bowers did over 1000 gastric bypass surgeries and he was awesome.

I had reflex, sleep apnea before surgery and did the bypass. During the surgery the doctor found the hernia and took care of it at the same time on 8/28/20. Doing well as of today with no dumping.

Doing well. Surgery 8/28/20...Surgery site all healed. No dumping. Order food from Bariatric pal that gives me the small servings. Easy to take packets when traveling to another state for vacationing and to work. Very easy process for me. Doing light weights 2-3x for exercise regime. Spouse cooks his own meals and I eat my bariatricPal packets. No children at home. I feel much, much healthier. Size L to M with no problem. Tops and bottom L sizes are being donated. Shoes fit looser. Take my Vitamins daily with no problem. Husband is supportive and loving with this process. Hope you all are doing good as well.

Light entree vegetable chili tasted good and not spicy. Easy to prepare and gives a small portion. Traveling to Utah in October and plan on taking hot chocolate, vegetable chili, cream of chicken so far.

Ordered the Meal Replacement prior to surgery, variety packets. strawberry and vanilla did not mix well with attempts of mixing. chocolate and Mocha tastes good and mix good.
Cream of chicken tasted good.
hot chocolate tasted good.
Vegan chicken Curry meal is slightly spicy so I increased liquid before consuming. I will return this item it was too spicy for me.
oatmeal with cinnamon apple is an acquired taste. I am debating if I should return it and get another flavor.
Note: I order BariatricPal items to meet Protein requirements with low carb and low sugar.

I am post op about 2 wks now. No hunger. I make sure liquid intake to avoid dehydration. Includes, Jello, zero drinks, bariatric Soups, Water, Protein Drinks with no sugar, no carb, many sugar free popsicles, etc. Every one healing process is different.

Sorry for your bad experience. When I was taken to my room after recovery, I got out of bed and walked in place to release gas. During RNY, the doctor found hiatal hernia and fixed that issue at the same time. Discomfort feeling with very little pain during my stay at the hospital. After x-ray showing no leakage I was able to be discharge with no problem with liquid intake. Today 12 days post surgery no discomfort, liquid intake with no problem. Did many sugar free popsicles, bariatirc Meal Replacement meals, patch Vitamins, Jello, etc. My goal is BMI 20 or less. Good luck on your healthy journey.

I do not look at numbers either. I focus on making sure I take in Vitamins, liquids intake. My goal is BMI 20 or less.

Dr. Stephen Bowers did over 1000 gastric bypass surgeries and he was awesome.

I tried tuna with mayo and boil eggs puree. Added himalayan salt. Tummy handled it. Will try adding other spices in near future and see how my tummy will handle it. My tummy handled kale, spinach, frozen berries, banana, Protein liquid. I drank this shake as one of my meal shake replacements. I will thicken it for each step ahead as well.

Had surgery on 28th of August. 3 hour surgery. Dr told my husband he repaired a haital hernia he found beside the gastric bypass procedure. Was on Strict NPO till x ray next day to show no leaks. Gave me liquids and tolerated it. At first I forgot about taking small sips, luckily I did not have any effect but could feel the liquid bubbling so I stopped drinking. I walked and deep breath on incentive spirameter to avoid pneumonia and to open up my lungs. No pain, but had abdominal discomfort. Gas pass and felt relieved each time. Now on my 4th day, sipping liquid slowly , but I notice my new tummy likes liquid green smoothie so I named my new tummy Greenie. I have no appetite and smell of food does not bother me. But little Greenie does not like too much liquid at one time. Abdominal discomfort is decreasing each day. Started with weight 200 lbs, today 185 lbs. I am making sure my liquids are Bariatric shakes with Protein and I sip all day long. Thus far little Greenie likes it. Vitamins are Patches from BariatricPal.

Had surgery on the 28th of August, stayed over night and home next day. 3 hour surgery with hiatal hernia repair found by dr doing the surgery. Abdomen discomfort feeling gradually diminishing. The gas in the abdomen after surgery was an ordeal that was remedied with gas release. Named my new tummy Greenie cause she loves liquid green smoothies. Frozen berries and banana, kale, moringa, spinach, hemp seed with Protein Shake. Greenie tolerated mixture well. She enjoys me sipping slowly in small amounts. Good luck to you all.
