Today - two weeks after surgery, I am 271.

It is coming off, slowly.... but the fact is.....it is coming OFF!!!

KUDOS to ALL OF US!!!!

I had my surgery on July 22nd. I've lost 9 lbs since the morning of surgery however I have lost 33 lbs since I began all the pre op stuff. Definitely feeling better. I'm able to sleep in my bed and I am only taking Tylenol for my pain. Nice to read about all the folks who are going through this too!!

My surgery was 7/30 and I was out in 1 day. I feel pretty good and my Protein is up to 70 gm today. I realized last night that I need to get in more liquids so that has been my focus today. A few of my glue sites look kind of questionable but I don't have a fever so I'm good. I feel really good and have not taken any pain meds. :)

No I haven't tried fish yet. Not really a fish eater and the thought of pureeing fish is not appealing.

I had the laparoscopic RNY Bypass on 7/30/14, released and home on 7/31/14. Struggled the first couple of days with pain on one side where the largest incisions were but my Dr explained that is the area where the stapler was passed through. He encouraged walking and said that would promote healing. I am now on day 6 Post Op and doing much better. Still sore, tire easily but have noticed improvement. I graduate from Clear liquids to 'pudding and cream soups' today, Yah! I never would have imagined I would be excited over those two food items, but after 3 weeks of all liquids they sound like T-Bone steaks :) I gained 16 lbs in the hospital from fluids and swelling, was a bit disappointed that I was higher than my check in weight, but as of today I am back down 28.6 lbs. I know I will get there, and so will you it just takes time!! Good Luck to you

Had my Gastric Bypass July 14, on my 41st birthday! I had horrible back pain afterwards but otherwise doing well! Still mentally craving some of my old standards at times, pizza, etc. but seeing the pounds come off is great incentive!

How long did your pain last? I had my surgery July 28 and I have been re admitted to the hospital because I have horrible lower left abdominal pain the radiates to my back and I can't get comfortable even with pain meds. I'm worried that something else is wrong. Leak, peritonitis or who knows

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
