Hi

I had gastric bypass surgery on Monday. I had a hernia and some scar tissue from a previous surgery that was corrected.

Today is my third day in the hospital and I am so ready to go home. I can actually drink plenty of liquid in regular sips. Not sure if that will change because I can't tell if I'm full or not. I'm burping a lot and feeling the gas move around inside my tummy. So weird.

Bye for now.

Welcome to the adventure! My surgery was April 8 and I am down 22 pounds! Check the forums often. There is so much great information on here!

Congratulations! I am sure you will be home soon.

Hello welcome and i too was in hospital for 3 dys as soon as u go #2? Lol they will probably let u go tomorrow. I was in hospital 3 dys since i had complications waking up. But post op 1 month 1 week all is well. Doing great dropping weight not sure how much, I go to see my surgeon 2 morrow and weigh in ! So you take it easy hope to see you soon on the boards.

Hope you found a good shake that will be ur best friend for awhile.

For me worst ones were choc EAS POWDER; vanilla Muscle milk.GNC GOLD STANDARD WHEY eye! Gross...Now i finally found the Pure Protein 100% whey protein, Vanilla cream mix it with Soymilk you hv alot of choices. Almond milk vanilla, plain tastes the same as milk, since we cant hv dairy this is awesome. I also started using 4-7 pieces of ice making consistency of smoothy, tricks the mnd into thinking ur eating something for real got me thru the liquids phase. I still drink 1-2 daily. 160 calories 6 carbs 25 grams protein you get your 60 grams quick! I mix mine now with choc soymilk and 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter mux with ice in blender reese cups! Lol

Hello again and thanks for the welcome. I was released yesterday my only requirement was too pass gas and I was good to go! My pain is minimal and very grateful for that. I'm having no problems drinking liquids, still not feeling the sensation of fullness not even after my Protein shake. I'm using Muscle Milk. I like the flavor and I'm a very picky eater anyway so I can eat the same food over and over again.

I can't wait to eat food again. My post op is actually three weeks away but I'm going to call and see if I can get something around the two week mark.
