Hi! I just got my surgery date for July 20th. I'm excited nervous and everything in between. Looking to find a pal, to work through the process with, with similar surgery date!

I'm only a month ahead of you. I had my bypass June 20th. I'll be glad to chat and share my experiences if that will help!

I would love to have you as a companion in this journey.

How are you doing post op?

Pretty good it can be hard to get the total amount in but I push through because I know it's important but makes me feel so full sometimes

so its not like a funnel? since there is no pyloric valve i figured it would be like a funnel and the liquid would past thru quickly. But you feel it in your stomach?

What liquid?

Well i mean, your only a clear liquid diet right now, so i was wondering if the liquids your drink just funnel thru your new pouch or they stay in the pouch for a bit.

I feel like they stay but that could be because I have to drink two half ounce things every 15 minutes and it feels like a lot but that's what I thought as well I feel stuffed some times. It's nice cause I have not had any cravings for regular food yet. I can drink Water broth Jello actually Protein shakes things like that Protein shake is what makes me feel most full

Well that is tough, 2 oz every 15 minutes seems like a lot, i have trouble now with liquids. but i just gobble down the rest of my water to catch up and i know i wont be able to do that once i have surgery. Have you been nauseous?
