Sounds like everyone's doing well - so glad to hear! I'm back home from my Thursday bypass and like everyone else at this stage trying to get all those fluids in! My hubby's keeping track of the amounts so I don't have to remember them all ?

Sorry to hear you had to wait so long, but sounds like your surgery went well. Now you're on the journey! And, yes, go slow with your movements. I found it was easier to get in and out of my car than in and out of bed! All the best to you in your recovery ?

Congrats! Keep up the good work?

I lived almost 500 miles from my parents, so when either needed help it was a challenge to get it for them. All went well yesterday with my bypass. I came home today. I like my own bed ?️ much better than the hospital's!

Thx so much! How are you doing?

Thanks for sharing! My bypass was yesterday and I go home later today. I feel much better than I thought I would at this early stage of recovery. I remember what it was like trying to get all of that water down -- it's good practice for post-surgery as you have to work back up to that level too. Best wishes on your recovery!

Keep up the great work, RhondaLPN! Good for you!

I really appreciate the details because it helps to know what others have done post-op. Glad you're back home and doing well. My surgery this Thursday is a gastric bypass but I think the lot of the post-op stuff is similar.Keep us posted on how you're doing. Sorry to hear that you're dealing with your father-in-law's situation too. Tough to have both at once -- one at a time would have been enough ?‍?

Thanks for that -- I'm hoping to do the same after my gastric bypass this Thursday! Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Keep us posted.

I'm all for pain con but not too excited about having to take the opiods at first. Did you need them for more than the first day?

So glad for both of you! How was your post-op pain?

Thanks for posting! Glad your surgery went well and hope that your recovery goes well too. Yes, I would love to hear how others have managed the drastic changes of eating. Mr surgery is next Thursday and I've already been thinking about that transition.

PoppyVelvet, I've come back to your post several times as I've been on the pre-op diet preparing for my surgery. Thinking of you and wondering how you're doing ??

?That is great advice and I really appreciate it! Please keep us posted on your recovery.

I'm scheduled for a gastric bypass on January 30. Excited but nervous too!

xoxoMeli, thanks so much for your post. So good to hear from someone like you who have been on this road for awhile. It's motivating and inspiring! All the best to you!

All the best to you in your recovery. Here's to good health!

Best of luck to you -- keep us posted!

Congrats and my very best wishes to you! Today is my first day of the 2-week pre-op liquid diet. Hope all continues to go well in your recovery. Keep us posted!

Hi All! I'm new here, and I have a date too --January 30 gastric bypass. Took me awhile to reach this decision, but weight control has been a life long challenge -- so I'm totally at peace with this now. Took awhile to "jump all the hoops" but we're there now as insurance just approved. Bring it on!
