I had my surgery on Monday and today it is Friday. I've been able to eat a little scrambled egg and I'm getting my liquids down fine I got on the scale today and weight is the same as the day I had surgery. When did you guys start to see the scale move?

Hi I was sleeved on 3/13 also! My dr has me on liquid diet until two weeks out. I haven't been consuming the recommended Protein but I try! I also try to get at least a 20g yogurt in but it usually takes me two days for that and I was on whey protein but just switched to premier. Last weigh in at my Preop was 237 (with heels and clothes on) this morning i was 217. I know I've lost abt two pds a day since 3/13

I was sleeved 3/14. I have been using Isopure (gag) with nonfat milk for part of my Protein and then taking a New Whey Shot (also gag) to get the rest in. The isopure is 50g protein for 1 serving so I do half a serving in AM then whey shot (42g protein in only 3.5oz liquid) in the evening. It has been working well to hit my protein goals even though it doesn't taste very good. Got both products at GNC but noticed that Walmart had the shots they other day.

I stopped weighing myself because I was starting get scared at how rapid it was falling off last week. I've done SOOOOOO much better yesterday and today with getting in my Protein. I've already downed 30g of protein today and nearly a 17oz bottle of water/juice :) My concern is losing to fast and having gallbladder problems, lol. Other than my main incision pain, I feel like my old self!

I feel like I'm losing very slow I have PCOS so I think that might have something to do with it though yea I'm getting in about 30-40g of Protein in a day as well and I have pain around my belly button right now my left side was hurting me but I was picking up my son too much now it's better.

Yeah my doc says it's normal because they placed a stitch in main incision area and also pulled out 75% of stomach from there. I went back to work yesterday and wore spams and placed a cloth towel over the area and it helps . :) Today I will likely get in about 60g of Protein as it's only 1pm me I've already done 30, each day gets easier😀

And I thought I had pcos but was told I had normal levels! Pcos is hard as far as losing weight but I think you made best choice as you have tool that has proven to work for millions!

I was also sleeved on 3/13. I am still having trouble with getting liquids and I can begin to think about getting Proteins in. I still feel a spasm everything I take a sip of any liquid. And I have been having heart burn really bad here lately.

Lady Tee, are you only intaking Soups and Water? I honestly hate the way water taste now. I have to dilute it. I'm drinking at least 30-40oz or water or liquids and a Protein Drink as of yesterday each day is better. I don't get heartburn but I do burp alot

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
