Hello! I had my gastric bypass on April 17. Everything has gone well for me so far. The only problem I had - constipation - the stool softener has fixed. I'm grateful that I have done so well but I also follow the rules very strictly. I have my phone timer going off every 15 minutes while awake and drink my ounce of Protein shake or Water. Yesterday I started 2 ounces of yogurt, low sodium v8... 3 times a day. I returned to work after a week but didn't do a full schedule. I have a system set up to keep my shake and water nice a cold throughout the day in a insulated bag. I never get hungry and would rather go without the Protein Shake most of the time but I do as told. I do miss eating "real" food. Hardest times have been when out and about and smelling people or restaurants grilling. I have a good supportive spouse who will be having surgery on June 19. Good luck to all of you!

Hi, I'm 50, about to turn 51. Just had bypass on April 17. Everything is going well so far! I am missing eating though. lol My wife will be having her surgery on June 19. So our eating schedule is off right now but once we finish the diet phases then we will be together on everything. I think that will make things easier. I'm looking forward to being more active. 50 doesn't feel old!
