Hi Everyone 👋🏻 I had bypass surgery on 9th January, currently on day 4 of blended diet. What a rollercoaster so far!! How is everyone else doing who has had their surgery so far? X

Will keep on following the plan and take each day as it comes. Right now 4 weeks seems a long way off!

Discovering those signs is probably the hardest part of this process. Have you seen the hunger scale? It looks kind of like the pain scale, that doctors use. That scale meant nothing to me, prior to surgery. I was always either starving or stuffed - there was no in between.

Now, I can actually use that hunger scale! I will start feeling a little bit hungry and then over time the feeling slowly builds.

I'm still not super-good at judging when I'm full. So, I just eat really slow (30 seconds after I swallow, I will take another bite) and as soon as I kind of maybe think I might be feeling a little bit full, I stop eating. Eating too much is quite painful and the couple of times I've done it, I've regretted it. So, I try not to do that.

Ahh ok so as long as its normal! Im trying to find signs of being hungry and being full….. i dont think I have either yet?

Hi guys, I am day3 post op, am on puréed or blended diet. There is lots of bubbles and gurgles after eating ….. or drinking anything . Is this normal?

Hey guys, can anyone recommend shopping list definites for post of week 1 and 2?

Wow! What a great update and such a positive journey! Well done, you are a rock star 😁

Hi guys!
I have bypass surgery on 9th January, and overall very nervous!

I had a gastric sleeve in 2016, and the gas pain post op was horrendous, I am seeiously freaking out about this happening again.

Has anyone got any advice from their experience apart feom peppermint juice?
