I had my surgery (Gastric Bypass) yesterday so far recovery is ok, i have been moved up to pureed diet, still in hospital but hoping to get out this afternoon. Biggest problem has been managing pain closely. But i think we got it taken care of now. I have been walking and it is so true it does help the gas pain. Fingers crossed I get to go home tonight🤞🤞🤞

Really? Wow! I thought you’re supposed to be on full fluids for two weeks before soft/puréed?
Glad things are progressing nicely!

I started puree at 3 days and soft foods at 8 days.

I’m jealous. I had two week liquid pre-op; and three week liquid post-op before soft foods.

I start regular food next week at 28 days. Funny how different the plans are, but my Dr is very good, very knowledgeable and update, he does all 3 types of surgeries which I have heard is rare.

I hope I’m in the same boat. After 1 month Optifast preop, not sure I can take just fluids that much longer. I’ll know soon enough, surgery is in 3 days, March 29th.

Agreed. My doctor also is very experienced and does all three surgeries as well. I considered Johns Hopkins and Walter Reed which also have excellent programs but specifically selected the doctor I used. Still, chewing would be nice (haha).

liquids post-op is a million times easier than pre-op because you’re not as hungry. Hopefully Optifast is better than it was years ago when I had it. My friend loved it, but I think I’d rather have starved.

You’re almost there! You got this!!!

Thanks Heather! Optifast has been ok. I don’t have any cravings and it tastes pretty good. Plus , I haven’t had to plan what my meals are this past month. I’m just bored with it to be honest.

I understand. You’ve done the tough part. It’ll be even easier after surgery. Thinking of you!

Just had surgery yesterday. I am trying to get through a Protein Shake - the criterion before I can leave. I’m having a hard time noticing when I’m full but trying not to push it so I do t feel nauseous or foam or worse throw up. Anyone else have difficulty knowing they are full?

Glad to hear pain is not as great. Hope the gas resolved quickly and you are starting to feel better!

I am!! Minor soreness but nothing like I had been feeling before. And that gas has started to pass.

Anybody had any waves of hunger pains that come and go?

Six days post op and only lost 1 pound. What the hell? All this suffering for what. I feel like I am in the twilight zone.

Gas and swelling probably need to go down. Also, they pump you up with lots of fluids via the IV.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
