Is anyone else having bypass surgery tomorrow, December 26th? Just wondering if I'm all alone here or if there is a twin out there! If so, let me know! ?

WOOHOOO that's great! I'm doing really well. I've lost 22 lbs My pants are are much loser and so are my tops. I'm having problems with the protein drinks and the vitamin. I need to call my NUT and ask for another one. I just can't stomach them. I basically get my protein from the foods I eat. I can pretty much eat anything as long as I puree it or chew it up really good. I made sloppy joe's the other night. I ate a little bit of it, without the bun of course. It was delicious LOL. I'm trying to get the water in but that is just too hard. I'm probably getting about 40-50 oz of water so not bad.

I had my surgery on Dec 13, 2018. I’ve lost 20 lbs, but I have stalled last week and this week. Any suggestions on what to do to get weight moving again??

@jean9 The vitamins my Dr recommended are the one a day chewable, they’re not good but they’re doable. I make sure I have water to drink right after. The protein I’ve been drinking is made by Sascha Fitness it’s sold on amazon. It’s powdered but the nutrients are amazing, they have no aftertaste.

Maybe lower carbs and fat?

Doing good here and trying to navigate the soft food phase. Seemed so much easier in liquid phase as I didn’t have to think about what to eat as it was the same every day. I don’t seem to be able to eat over 1/8th a cup of anything. Made a scrambled egg today with some bell peppers & onions and chicken sausage crumbles. I was only able to eat half and my food got really cold as I had to eat so slow. My weight is at a stall for about week but reading other post it seems this is to be expected. Sleeved Dec 26 - lost 28 lbs overall.

Hi,

I had surgery on December 26th as well. Loosing weight well, however having a hard time with the protein. I'm down 30 lbs.

I'm struggling with protein and water, too.

Well, it’s been 4 weeks since our surgeries. So far I’ve lost 25.5lbs and I’m super excited about it.
I’m still struggling with my fluids and learning how to eat slowly.
How’s everyone else doing???

I'm down 25 last time I weighed )a day ago, I think). Since surgery was a Wednesday, I'll be weighing tomorrow. We shall see!

How y'all doing? I am finally feeling more myself. Getting a few things done and resting often.

A month out, I am starting yo understand the new inner me. I had a few uncomfortable moments the first week I was put n purreed. But I've figured it out and don't hurt myself anymore. ? YOu?

Hello!

I also had my surgery on the 26th. So far I’ve been feeling ok. The gas pain was pretty bad but other than that it was just a matter of being tired. Today I drove for the first time and I feel great. I’ve decided to only weigh my self every Wednesday so I can track weekly process. With that being said after week 1 I had lost 18.2lbs. My eyes almost fell out of my head!

I am craving different things like cheese and savory foods. But it’s not a hunger issue, it’s all in my head, so it will take some time for me to fight the bad habit of eating when bored or feeling blah.

SO glad its progressing well for you. How is it going now, 1 month out?

I was on Clear Liquids for a week. Now I am on full liquids. I had a little cream of chicken soup (strained) today. My program is pretty strict.

I was on clear liquids for 2 weeks post surgery. I thought I was going to die of starvation! But alas, here I am! I am now on a 4 week stint of pureed/soft foods. I see the surgeon again on Feb 7th. I have no idea what's coming next. I am down 25 lb post surgery at the moment. Its never been so easy to so consistenly lose weight. Really amazing!

I’m doing the protein shots because nothing taste right, and I’m having a hard time finding really soft or mushy foods. I’m also doing yogurt.

Way to go!! I have lost 21 since surgery. I had a bit of a stall when I went to pureed foods. I think I had lost a lot of muscle weight during the pre-op liquid and post op. I went back to work on the 9th, so my activity level increased about 500%. I was having a hard time getting in protein, but doing better now. Staying hydrated is a little hard. At work, I keep a small bottle with me that is a mixture of Powerade Zero, water, and ice. All my work clothes are too big now. Lol.
