Thought I'd start a thread for those that are having their surgery July 26th so we can all vent/compare how we are feeling at each stage of the journey. How is everyone feeling at this point? I keep getting this question: Are you stressed or excited? My answer is both!

My procedure was the 26th too. I came home Wednesday nite. The first nite home I didn't sleep at all. Last nite was better. My pain has decreased a lot. I do feel a little itchy around where my marks are. Still moving slow. Taking it one day at a time. I'm ready to go outside to walk but it's so dang hot. The dr told me not to go out in the heat. Walk around the house. What have you all been eating? I can do cottage cheese, but I do eat Greek yogurt with one splenda

So today is 4 days post op. I feel super sore but my main symptom/issue is i feel incredibly weak!!! Anybody else? Just wanna lay around and zero energy.

Mudgy6 All I can have for 3 weeks is liquids. How is the cottage cheese and yogurt feeling?

Today I had a post op visit with my GP. My blood pressure before surgery has been consistently high for about a year now. Today it was 122/67! So cool to see signs that our bodies are getting healthier!

Every day is getting better pain and energy-wise. Passing gas, but no movement yet. Have been taking about three walks a day to help move things along. Yay kgarrettsatx on the weight loss!!

2 days post op (surgery on 27th).. My bowels are soooo gurgly and talking non stop. Hopefully something comes from all the noises? I'm able to get my protein and water in OK. Large incision is really tender and kind of concave and weird looking. Made the mistake of taking too large a drink today, instantly felt it in my chest- freaked me out.

How are you getting protein? I am 3 days post op and can barely keep water down. I'm so nauseous, I'm afraid to try anything else.

Had anyone tried eating or drinking since surgery? I've only been able to keep down a couple bites of yogurt and 2 sips of Soup besides Water, which still pains me. I feel like I need calories, but am afraid to eat.

Maybe just stick to liquids for a little bit? And try a variety of liquids. I've heard of peeps not tolerating water, but find something else. I've been drinking a mixture of organic bone broth and organic chicken broth. (Bone broth has a lot of Protein in it, but I need the regular broth to add more taste to it) I heat it up, put it in a small thermos n then measure out my two tablespoon sips every 15 min. I've also tolerated premier Protein drinks, Vitamin water zero, milk, and sf popsicles so far. Keep trying, u r bound to find something. Did the hospital give you anti nausea pills? They sent me home with zofran. Its a pill that melts under your tongue. Tastes nasty, but works. Also, if it takes you much longer to get something down consistently I'd call your surgeon. Good luck and keep us posted.

Premier Protein banana and caramel drinks. They are still so tasty and 1 box has 30grams of protein in it.

Try drinking fluids at different temps. Try tea, sugar free popsicles, broth, etc. Do you don't anti-nausea pills?

I had my surgery on the 26th. I was in so much pain that I kept wondering WHY I did this to myself! Now I am super gassy ughhhhhh so uncomfortable! I pray that I will feel better soon...

Summer Gonzalez bypass: 7/26/16

Just sore all over stomach area. I'm feeling really lethargic as well. All I want to do is sleep. I have been able to drink water and protein (I'm still on liquids for 2 weeks post-op) shakes but I am not at all hungry. I had a severe reaction to the steri strips so the Dr. removed them yesterday. Hopefully the swelling and itching will subside soon. I think if we up our protein intake maybe we will have a little more energy. I start my vitamin regimen back today also. Keep pushing forward everyone your doing great so far.
