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

One week out, 12 pounds down and only feel full after 4oz protein shake sips on ice.

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.
