I had gastric bypass surgery 5/23/14. I was discharged 5/25/14. I had surgery at Cuyuna Regional Medical Center. My surgeon was Dr. Roberts. I had been considering WLS for a couple of years and finally started my journey 8/19/13. I had WLS to become healthier. And to be arou d for my childrem and grand children.

Today has been a difficult day. I have felt exhausted most of the day. I have had diarrhea and nausea. I went back to a clear liquid diet and have taken a couple of naps. I do feel a little better.

I joined this group for support and tips along with giving others support on this weight loss roller coaster.

Welcome and CONGRATS on your new life!!! I join this group a few days ago and I'm already in love with all my supporters. You're freshly out of surgery, so you will be tired for a few days. Your tiredness, pain, and soreness will get better. I am almost 11 days out and I'm back at the gym and running errands. Again, congratulations on your new healthy life!!!

I feel your pain, I had my surgery on 5/21/14 and I can't meet my daily Protein goals because the drinks make me sick to my stomach. There's very little food I can eat at this point so it's all I can do to keep myself together. We just have to be patient and let healing happen. Good luck and talk to you soon!

I'm sorry you guys are struggling but I'm glad you found this board. I'm preop but I'm learning so much about what to expect and how to be successful with the surgery. I'm sure you'll all be doing so much better in a week or two. Be sure to come back to the topic and let us know how you're doing so someone following behind you can learn from your experiences.

Best wishes

Ginger

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
