Gastric Bypass Monday morning check in 515 am. I have researched this for 6-7 years and it's now finally happening!!! Wish me luck

Best wishes! I had mine 16 days ago at Alexian Bro. in Elk Grove I've had a pretty easy time and they said I am doing great. I wish those reports for you. You'll be going through all kinds of emotions, just focus on the positive ones and your goal.

Best of luck to you! I had surgery just 5 days ago and doing great!

Hope you are doing well. Can't wait to hear from you. Wishing you the best.

Good luck.

Thank you guys I went in this morning so far everything is going good. I can't believe I am over on the post op side of things now. I was so nervous this morning I was seriously thinking about bolting out the door 30 min before surgery lol

I woke up with some pain (gas) and the nurses quickly took care of that problem. Been super tired all day. I walked twice so far but each time I feel extreme burst of nausea which I believe is coming from my medication so I'm going to try and see how I feel without pushing that little medication button thing so I can walk more. I been eating my ice chips (stage 1) 1 oz of tiny ice chips per hour.

All the nurses were complimenting what a nice job my surgeon did on my tummy looks small I guess? - I won't look yet!!! Lol

Drifting off to sleep again I'll update more in the morning. Thank you guys for all your support you have no idea how much it means to me.

So glad you are on your way to healing and losing. I pray you continue to improve each and every day. It's these kinds of post that give the scared ones (like myself) the courage to press on. Looking forward to following your progress.

My last post "tummy looks small" was supposed to be nice incisions LOL ...drugs .... what can I say?

My tummy actually looked like I was 6 months pregnant again and hard.. full of gas they kept saying it will pass soon soon it will pass ...4 days until i finally started getting rid of that gas wow!!! ( TMI - sorry) Now I am at home doing so much better.. it was difficult getting fluids in at first I know logically that it wasn't going to be forever but still emotionally it felt like it was.

today I hit my protien target 60g and I drank 2 bottles of water plus ONE of my vitamins ..ha its a start! Getting better every day. Today I even walked down the street and back with my daughter. I know we aren't supposed to weigh in this early but curiosity got the best of me and I am down 5 lbs. Nice....

Follow up on Tuesday.

@@mmrennau, what are you drinking for protein? I am one month post and struggle every single day! Honestly, I don't think I have hit my protein goal once. I have hit fluid a couple times, but not consistently.

I've been drinking premier protein it 11oz and 30g of protein. 160 calories. I drink 2 a day but it is an effort. Like a job. I'm working on my last bottle of water now which will take me till bedtime 16 oz and I got all my vitamins in today which is a first.

Ugh, that is what I was drinking, guess I'll have to revisit it :-)
