Would like to get connected with anyone that had bypass July 16thish. Share experiences and talk..

July 10 ?

How are you doing?

Great! No pain, no nausea. Walking. Everyday. Just having trouble getting all my protein in. How about you?

I'm July 16th. In hospital I felt like a champ. No real issues. Just sore. I've lost 13 lbs thus far. Since coming off pain med, i feel like I've down a thousand crunches. Sore. My taste buds have changed. I don't like anything too sweet. I have to really focus on getting my protien and water in. My wounds are healing nice. Still itchy from steri strips.

July 17th here. No real issues. First few days was very uncomfortable, but much much better now. Just have to stay on myself to keep on top of my fluids. Able to get protein in.

On the two week "liquid preparation" stage to advance to "flakey foods". Never thought the water hydration thing would be a challenge. Had to get a nalgene water bottle with actual measurements. The biggest challenge I guess is staying positive. It is helpful to connect with others that are going through the experience. For some reason just feeling flat... My doctor warned me about this. With the weight loss and changes, there would be fluctuations in hormones. Also my family piece. I'm not sitting at the dinner table with them or having meals. Its weird. But I am cooking them. Cooking food I am not eating is strange. With the protein those shakes from Costco are helping me. They have 30 of protein and 5 carbs per shake. So two a day and I am good.

I had mine done on 7/26/18.

And you go moving on towards good health and a good future. Stay happy, stay healthy!
