Checking in after August by-pass



Recommended Posts

Hi, Pals. Just wanted to check in now that I am 7 days post op. I had my gastric bypass on August 29. Went home on August 30. I have been on liquid diet since coming home. About to start pureed phase tomorrow.

Everything has been going well. The pain has been manageable. I still have some bouts of pain, but much less than before.

I have not been exercising yet, but plan to start that soon.

I hope all other August surgery patients are doing well!

I had surgery on the 29 too. Doing good up to 64 oz Water and 75 Grams Protein. Walk walk walk. Sip sip sip gained 8 pounds after surgery but today is 8 day out and lost those 8 plus 5. Had number 2 now which helps a lot

My NUT told me there is no way to get enough Protein at that point

That really depends. Some of us had no problem drinking enough Protein Shakes to hit the Protein goal. It all depends on how much swelling you had, but it is certainly not impossible.

No way to get in all your Protein six weeks post op? I have zero problems with it and I don't supplement shakes either. I average 60gr+ to my highest day at 93gr. I also eat 4 - 6 small meals every few hours at 100 cal each to ensure from the time I get up 5:00 a.m. to my last meal - never later than 7:00 p.m. all my goals are met.

The post I responded to, she was still on liquids. My NUT also told me I should not be eating more than 3 meals a day.

remember everyone's plans are different and mine has it printed it may take multiple meals. Also my NUT has approved 3 meals and 2 Snacks even b4 wls.

However with 3 meals alone you would have to have up to 30g Protein per serving and cals would be upward of 900-1000.

my cals remain at 600-700 @ 7 weeks post

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
