Everything has gone by so fast. I had my gastric bypass on Monday 11/29. I'm Finnish so I did my surgery in Finland. Everything went well and the nurses were amazing, the whole experience was loving and calm. I feel extremely grateful for that. On Tuesday I could go home after getting in my 1000 ml of liquids. I never felt nausea, pain or discomfort why drinking and I tried to walk as much as I could. Gas pain was very difficult Wednesday and Tuesday. It's slowly leaving now, Friday. I've taken pain meds every evening and sometimes during the day if I get pain, but I'm trying to manage with the little pain I have.
I'm excited for what's to come, it feels like a huge life changing moment, which it of course is. I'm scared and anxious as well; what if I never can eat a piece of sushi again, my absolute favourite food? What if I can't travel and enjoy the food? Food is such a big part of our lives and has so much to do with our social life and culture. I know it's worth it, I know this surgery is for me and for my future, for my health. But it's still scary. That's why I love going on here and reading everything. It gives me so much comfort to know there's so many people all over the world going through a similar experience.
I'm gonna start weighing myself after two weeks after surgery, giving myself time to heal and rest for now.
Here are some stats that I can look back on in the future.
HW: 308 lb (140 kg)
Operation weight: 291 lb (132kg)
GW: in-between 130-150 lb

My favorite thing to have on that diet was steak and whole onion on the grill. I knew I wouldn’t be having steak for quite a while post surgery and the onion really added flavor to the dish. It’s off cause steak is not usually a favorite of mine but I think it was the onion. You just peel it and spray some cooking spray on alumimum Foil then wrap onion in it and bake on grill till done. It takes a while. Like an hour. I suppose it can be made in the oven too. I’ve just never tried it as I live in florida and we prefer to cook outside whenever possible.
