i'm really new to all of this.im on here looking for support.i had the gastric bypass surgery done .im 24 years old and weigh 359 .

The pain feels like I'm having a heart attack

I am sorry guy, who aren' so well but vow I am sooo happy today and feeling lucky, because I don't feel any pain I did my first weigh in and I've lost 17 lbs since surgery, in only 6 days, that sounds crazy... I almost fainted on the scale So really I can't complain, oh and I found a Protein shake finally that has almost the same elements as powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury . That was a big research....I love this old continent of mine....but sometimes...

There is just one thing, is it weird that I have shitted only once (sorry i don't know the medical term in english) since surgery?

Hahaha....yes that is normal. Took me about 4-5 days after being home from the hospital before having a bowel movement. It was a great feeling when it finally happened because then I knew everything was hooked up and working properly.

I feel great during the day! Just night time before bed I get horrible stomach pains.. I'm not sure if I'm just eating too fast or what but it's like clockwork! One week out and just over 18 pounds down!! Seems crazy to look at the scale and see numbers I haven't seen in ages!!! So glad we are all in this together! I've had a few bm's never a big amount and always very dark. I pee all the time tho!! Lol

It's such a bummer when you don't know what's going on in there, isn't it? I'm suddenly having a little bit of an issue with plain water. It makes my stomach hurt for awhile after I drink it! Mainly feels crampy... Congrats on your 18lbs gone! What a great feeling.

I think you both are in for an amazing journey. The next year will be one of the most rewarding and life changing experiences of your lives. You will be rediscovering your bodies and all of the truly amazing things they are capable of. This forum will be an amazing place for you to seek help and advice from others who have done the exact same thing as you. It will be one of your biggest resources.

One thing I want to encourage both of you to do in the next year is to set goals; from the mundane to the insane. Think of all the things you have wanted to do, but couldn't because of your weight and make a plan to begin pursuing them. I am so excited for what the next year holds for you both.

If you have any questions or I can help in any way, feel free to contact me at the links below.

Had my bypass done Nov 3 and I feel totally normal. Just not hungry, fluids are a breeze. And I want to go to cedar point in 27 and started 440. Lost 40lbs before my journey. Best of luck to you.
