Had my bypass on 6/09. Recovery for me was better than expected pain wise. Only thing that happened was I had a really bad allergic reaction to the skin glue they used to close the incisions. I am on my 2nd round of steroids. Hopefully this will work it’s magic, my belly looks like a welted lobster, red and itchy. I am on purées now and in about a week can move on to soft/mushy foods. I go back to work on Monday, so can’t wait, I have been going stir crazy at home. Hope everyone has a great day.

I'm 5 days post surgery and today I managed to get 3 of my tablets down - I did discover that I shouldn't have them just before a meal, I only managed 70mL of Protein Shake after 3 tablets(vit D, probiotic and multivitamin). I am drinking about 1.5L of Water in addition to my meals and I know I need to focus on getting more meal volume in. Who else gets bored of drinking their soup/protein shake before they are finished or full - I just enjoy drinking water more haha.

I had surgery on Monday as well. I’m doing okay on fluids. I had horrible gas and stomach spasms. I’m glad you’re doing well. Keep up the good work :)

I had surgery on the 24th. I have had no problems with Fluid intake. Had urinary retention and terrible gas pains for the first 24 hours.

My bypass is tommorow!! Whoohoo!! Finally!! After Covid it was pushed back! I’m ready to get this done. I hear people saying they had to do a liquid pre op diet. I didn’t. I was on a 1000 calorie diet!

Good luck with your surgery today. Mine is today too after looong 6 months. Thats great 1000 cal instead of liquid diet you can't beat that . Sending positive vibes.

I joined the lover's bench in the 25th. Havent had much fluids and teying to consume Protein Shakes. They are just too darn sweet now. I've noticed that I weigh the same amount of weight as I did when I did on the of my surgery even with me not consuming much fluids. Whelp! I am determined to let this tool work for me.

I can’t seem to balance my sips with good timing. And after a few sips I feel like I need to walk and burp. I could literally burp after every sip. I hope this won’t last forever.

Hi all! First post for me. I had the bypass on June 3rd, and I am almost down 50 pounds. On July 7th I had my gallbladder removed, so I'm in "recovery" again. My question is, is anyone struggling to eat? Like the thought of eating makes me nauseated and so does drinking warm Water as well. My family is worried about me, and to be honest I am worried as well.

I also feel like my throat is tight as well. I'm thinking that it is my medicine that I have to split to take. Any advise would be great.

I honestly feel amazing. I am down 11kg (25lbs) since surgery on June 9th.

I had a bit of a stall on week 4, but I am killing it this week.

I work out every day via rhythm games like StepMania and Beat Saber for AT LEAST an hour, but I try to go for 2+ hours. I get about 80-85g of Protein in a day, while also drinking 1.5L of Water, and keeping my carbs below 30g (primarily from veggies/fruits).

I hope everyone else is doing well too. I haven't been super active here, but I am almost always sitting on Instagram!! LOL If anyone wants to follow me, you can! @Stephiverse -- I am sharing my progress, journey, and a whole lot of complaints there. There is a great community available. I will try to be on the forums a bit more tho!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
