And all has gone very smoothly. The pain is not nearly as bad as I'd imagined. Lots of burping seems to be keeping the gas down so far, and After my scan in the morning I'll be ready to drink liquids. For now it's ice chips and lots of napping. I honestly can say my anxiety was far worse than the reality! Nursing has been great and responsive, and having my sweet husband here all day was wonderful.

I'm wondering when or if my hunger will return? Nothing so far!

Same for me with the type II. Left the hospital not needing any meds.

@@Susan33, I had bypass on 1/6. Before bypass, I was on medication for type II though not insulin. I left the hospital completely off all meds to control diabetes. I have been monitoring my glucose level 4x/day to see what happens, and so far the highest I've registered is 124. All others have been in the 90-110 range. So... right away, basically.

Thanks Cat,Mb, and Anaxila. I have type2, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I know the gb isn't a magic cure and that I need to change my eating and activity habits forever. I don't want to say tmi but I need help. I have tbi(traumatic brain injury) with short and long term memory loss from getting hit by car. So I don't understand things right away. My thing is I just need help on what I should eat and workout info. I have gym in apartments and I do the,leg weightlifts and arm weights(3 diff ways), bike for bout 20 min and elliptic for bout 5. Should I be doing more? Any info anyone has I'd appreciate. Thank you.

Congrats on being healthy an welcome to the losers bench. I am glad it is smooth sailing for you remember to sip your water and ice chips and to blow in that machine and walk as soon as you can good luck and welcome to the new you.
