One Week Post-Op

[Maestro1279 5]

Today marks one week since my gastric bypass. It has been a rough start, but I’m feeling and getting better everyday. I make sure I’m walking at least 30 minutes every day. I am still struggling with hunger. But I assume —it is my hope— that the hunger goes away. I have 12 days until my first follow-up appointment. At that point, I hope the doctor will move me to the next level.

I’ve dropped 10 pounds since surgery day. It’s a struggle, but I’m taking it one day at a time.

I’m 2 weeks out. Definitely still a struggle, but gets a bit better every day.

I'm glad you are both healing up. I am just 3 weeks out and it's like learning a new language but every time I feel a bit overwhelmed I query the forums and it really help

Hi everyone,

Hope you are doing better! If you don't mind me asking: when you guys refer to "struggling" quite a lot during the first weeks is to the physical aspect (pain/discomfort) or just the overall process of adjusting?

I am trying to better to understand what to expect. Thanks.
