Hi there. I had my gastric bypass revision on April 3. My original gastric bypass was in 2004. My surgeon on April 3 fixed a 3-inch hole in my pouch. Good luck all!

I love the Premier Peotein shakes. Lots of variety and they taste great.

Just curious did anyone else end up with a surprise hernia repair? I feel better today but now wondering how the hell they expect me to take all these meds that have to be crushed and are not a delight to take;) all of them but 2 have to be crushed urg!!! But on the plus side I’m finally going pee and had a bm and that did make my stomach feel somewhat better yay!

Ughhhh even though I start the next phase today (yay yogurt!!!) I’m in that darkness where I’m depressed and regret my decision, thinking I’ve screwed myself over for life. Hopefully it passes soon.

Anyone who shares my date (April 4) lose weight yet? I gained 4 lbs in swelling a Fluid retention. Stupid scale. Today I’m getting plain Greek yogurt from TJs and frozen fruit to blend in. I can’t stand the low calorie, pre mixed fruit yogurts. I thank pain meds for helping me think outside of the box!

Hi all!
My surgery was at 7:30am this morning. I was in recovery until about noon so about three hours (I think they were just waiting for a vacant room) and I slept most of the time. I’m on my first attempt to drink some water! Feeling bloated and a little pain in my abdomen, but mostly just like a bad period cramp 😂 so far so good! Glad to be on the losers bench and i don’t post a ton but it has been wonderful reading everyone’s progress! Everyone is doing awesome and I hope everyone else that had theirs today is recovering well!

I'm waiting til tomorrow when I have my one week follow up to weigh so I'll let you know then. It feels like I lost because I can bend over and put my socks on a lot easier. I'm afraid of the Water retention too because of all this salty broth we've been drinking all week.

I am an April 4, too. I was 330 the day I flew to SoCal. This morning, my one week weight was 316.6. I've weighed myself at intermediate points and it does fluctuate (ladies, you will probably fluctuate more than I will monthly) with Fluid balance, but I am down a bunch.

Congratulations! I hope you have a smooth recovery. If the Water doesn't go down well try heating it up a little.

Thank you for the tip @justmetj!!!! I will definitely keep that in mind. @naiad my mom came with me and has been with me most of the day, but they told me there was no visitation limitations so I have a couple friends planning on coming when they get off work. No one could visit while I was in the recovery room but now that I’m in my own room for the night I think anyone can come visit.

I don’t have to crush any pills and I have been taking 3 until tomorrow then I take all of my Vitamins, home now, took a shower and feel sooo much better. Left side tender but dr said it would be that’s where they did most of the work I just found out today no yogurt until I can have milk in 6 months. I start the purées stage tomorrow.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
