It got better for me. Don't even worry about weight right now. Your in and out surgery your body needs a little time to rest and recover.

This was my first surgery ever and after it a week to the day went back in for small bowel obstruction (vomited and diarrhea nothing but blood and unbareable pain) which put me back now tomorrow have to have opening to pouch stretched due to scar tissue closed it to the size of a stir straw for coffee so just ice for 5 days. (have a g tube for Meal Replacements and Vitamins and water) but if asked would i do it again. I would have to say yes. I have lost 50 pounds since surgery (april 10) my knees dont hurt I have gotten my Iron level back up so not as tired. feet arent swollen with pain when i walk now.

Sheri congratulations on your weight loss even with all the issues you had from the surgery. Keep up the good work. You are a positive influence to others who have/had issues with their bypass.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
