    Any April 2021 surgeries?!

    I was having a lot of problems early after surgery. It took me about a week of the daily colace which I just take with my morning meds so my vitamins and Pepcid and it has really helped and made me very regular. I also drink a lot of water (64 oz a day plus) and lemon water which I’m told helps. Hope this helps.

    If it makes you feel any better my good friend got surgery April 6 she has similar stats and she’s lost 24 lbs so far, and I had my surgery on April 27 and I’ve lost 14lbs since surgery. It took you a long time to gain the the weight and it’s gonna take a while for it to healthily come off. You are doing amazing! Your body is adjusting.

    Depends on your sex as well as medical history. As a woman with PCOS studies have found the best workouts for us are strength training(think weights) and yoga which involves strength training. It’s important to remember that every BODY is different. Cardio and high intensity cardio is good for me once in a while(I enjoy HIIT classes and workouts) but it’s important to mix it up. See what works for you and what doesn’t. Just remember to mix it up. (I’m not a personal trainer but I have spent a lot of time researching the subject)

    I see a lot of people still getting nutrition from protein shakes. Which ones are you drinking because I am so over the premier protein ones. Someone said the cookies and cream is good. I liked the boost I drank pre surgery but it only has 16g of protein.

    I called 2x yesterday they told me it’s normal to be feeling pain but I’m gonna call again today since the nurse is in office and explain in detail. I did overdue it on Tuesday and yesterday I had a terrible day pushing from a BM situation so it could be both those things. I haven’t had to take my pain meds today but walking around is hard.

    Incision Pain

    I’m 9 days out and really struggling with pain. I had an incident with TMI pooping today and now my stomach is in so much pain it feels like every move I make I might pass out from pain.

    April surgeries

    April 27th here... the pain is so bad for me. The first week I was doing ok now it’s becoming unbearable for me. Anyone else feeling horrible? Dr said the tugging sensation is normal.

    Any idea when the pain should subside a bit? I’m on day 8 and still in a load of pain. It’s gotten worse over the past 2 days.

    Wonton Soup

    If you’re on full liquids then you should be drinking full liquids if you are allowed soft foods I would avoid it the wonton shell is all carbs and we are supposed to be low carb.

    Because everyone is at a different starting weight and everyone’s bodies react different. As long as in the long run you end up meeting your goal weight that’s what matters it’s not a race.

    Any April 2021 bypassers?

    This happened to me when I came home from the hospital. I was like what are you serious? I was up 8lbs. But it went away. Now I’m down 3 lbs from what I was preop. A lot of this is water weight though I don’t see the weight really coming off until we are healed and not swollen.

    Any April 2021 bypassers?

    Had my RNY done April 27 stayed in the hospital Tuesday and Wednesday went home Thursday evening. Everything went smoothly and I’ve been relaxing at home with minor pain. Everyday I’ve been walking more and more and doing more and more for myself. Only thing I really can’t do is bend over and pick anything up. Yesterday I had my first BM. I haven’t been taking pain meds just Tylenol. 19lbs down since I started preop liquid diet on April 13. How’s everyone else doing?

    I’m 6 days post op and I agree I am so over these liquids it’s been 3 weeks now. I’m dreaming of the day where I can just eat some tuna or eggs. 8 more days for me. I’m down 19 pounds from when I started my pre op diet which I’m proud of. Hope all is well.
  25. Hello love. I’m coming to you with love and kindness and as someone who has struggled with food addiction for many many years. Sounds like you are head hungry and not really hungry. Seek help for binge eating disorder and see a counselor. Get a food diary and be honest. Heal from your food addiction first then you will notice results. I know it’s so hard but this whole change is 90% mental. “Bad” foods can be made healthy we have so much to offer in 2021 in terms of food choices. You can do this!
