Bypass vs Sleeve
I had a question ❓. I've noticed that people that have the sleeve are up and at um fairly quickly. Yet I had the bypass and I'm walking like the hunchback of Notre Dame. Anyone else have the bypass and still not fully functioning?

My cheerleading is also what keeps me sane love. This process is a big deal. Don't want anyone feeling alone. ?

I had hernia repair too. And I guess the bypass is worse because the first few days I dropped f-bombs everytime I moved, breathed, or thought. And coughing......man My soul left my body. The gurgling is probably gas, or your food settling in your pouch. I got that too. We are gonna make it. It's up from here.

I don't think anyone here can give a definite yes or no. For me it's not that I'm hungry as I've said before. I just miss the social eating and snacking while watching tv. 5 days in on liquid. Fam had takeout today. I had 1ounce cups of Powerade and chicken broth. The only thing keeping me sane right now is researching and planning for my pureed food next week.

My mind is hungry not my stomach. I need some other coping mechanisms.

JUNE SURGERY BUDDIES
Nah because it's all mental. You won't be starving but seeing commercials and ads and others enjoying food is hard AF. You just have to remind yourself why you did it in the first place and how hot you're gonna look in that ? bikini next year ?.

I'm not hungry but my ? is thinking about food. I had a dream about it. Lol. The gastric bypass is supposed to be the "gold standard" for weight loss surgery. Apparently you lose more weight and keep it off.
