Can anyone tell me once they went home after Gastric Bypass , if they had to stay with someone or have someone with them for help in your care? I live alone and hate the thoughts of not coming back to my place, looks like I'm gonna have to go to a friends. If you did it alone share that with me on how it went !! If you recommend being with someone let me know why?? Thanks

That's what I'm afraid of. I want to be prepared but I don't know what I'm going to like. I'm really hoping you can't taste the unflavored whey Protein in creamy soups. I'm pinning a lot of my hopes on that. Can you have broccoli cheese soup?

Yes I can. I bought some but haven't had it. I did have split pea yesterday. I pureed it with Greek yogurt to add protein and it was so good I added the unflavored to cream of wheat and I could taste it. Ill have to try it in soup tomorrow. I found that the Chike brand of protein isn't too sweet for me and you mix it with only alittle Water or milk, so its a lot of protein without a big drink!

Do you mix plain Greek yogurt in it? What ratio?

I just put the soup, water, and a big scoop of yogurt. Was actually really good, had it again today!! I only measure the portion right before I eat it.

Hey guys I am in desperate need of help, I'm having a very hard time with my Blood Pressure running high, I've been on meds for over 10 yrs and until Yesterday I had not had them since 3 days pre op. 1st 2 days after surgery I was getting best reading in years 3-6, it has progressively gotten worse ?? I take Nadalol 40 mg 2 times a day and Diovan HCT 12.5... After 5 hrs in ER Sunday they finally agreed to let me take 1 40 mg a day 1/2 at a time!! BP still way to high??? Go back for my one week check up today and need to know if any of you have had any high BP issues after surgery from coming off cold turkey?? I just don't understand that ? Skinny people have Hbp ? Please help me!! I can't relax and my stomach is in knots over it !!

Does it get better? I had gained 7 lbs of fluid since surgery , Sunday when they weighed me ??? 4 days after?
