I had Surgery the 5 th . Gastric Bypass with Hiatal Hernia repair. I also struggle with having energy ( when I first wake up) then I start doing normal things like laundry and then I am drained. I hope this gets better, I would like to start exercising more

I’m with you. I had mine on April 5 th. Trying to go day by day. Thinking of you. Hope things get easier.

I am at day 8 post op after having Gastric Bypass Surgery with Hernia Repair. I am also struggling to get what my doctor wants me to get down. She gave me a chart and every hour I am supposed to drink 4oz . That is not happening. I am lucky to get 2oz most of the time in per hour. Today was the first day that I was able to from 8a.m. to 12 p.m. get a full 9oz of the protein shake in. I can't wait to have Cottage cheese. Right now I can have broth, Creamed soup and Low fat yogurt (I like Two Good) I drink plain water and Gatorade Zero and Crystal Light. I pray this gets easier, I have had pain off and on and also severe gas at times and I do walk. Gasx has been helping with that also.

I wouldn’t recommend going to work 2 Days later. Have you spoken to your Bariatric Doctor to find out what the recommended time period off should be? I also had a Hiatal Hernia and on a strict liquid diet. Till Day 7 then I go into phase 2. I am very sore and swollen and taking one thing at a time.

Had Gastric By Pass April 5 th. Left the Hospital Thursday the 6 th. Doctor was concerned I wasn’t walking enough and put me on Heparin shots once a day for 2 weeks. I am walking, even took my first shower this morning. Hardest thing to deal with at this time is gas and Diarrhea occasionally. I am not sure why the Diarrhea is even happening since I am drinking mostly water.
