I had gastric bypass surgery on Dec. 27. I'm on full liquids now, and I'll start puréed meat on Jan. 2 I haven't lost any weight yet, in fact I show a 3 lb gain, but I'm sure that's still IV fluids and bloating from the hospital. My first dr appt is 4 weeks after the surgery, so I should probably wait and see what the scales say at that time.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi! I'm new to this group also. I haven't had surgery yet but hopefully by march everything will be finished with insurance approval etc. How are you feeling?

Welcome to the boards... After lurking we are glad you joined us!!!!

Hi Melynie, I'm okay, just very sore... More than I expected. Luckily, I haven't had any nausea or queasiness. I haven't had any problem with eating or drinking anything. Right now, my stomach is very sore and a lot of it is gas, which is AWFUL. I feel like something is stabbing me in the back and shoulders! I think I will be at a turning point when this goes away.

Welcome, I wish you luck on your journey. I've haven't had my surgery yet either... mine hopefully will be in the beginning of April... I have to get through all the classes and stuff for the insurance company. But I'm really looking forward to it.
