OMG October 2013 Post-ops
Earthboundgirl replied to DevilBlueDress's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Ya, I think its normal. Its only been a few days. Have you had your first BM yet? Remember, even though you're only putting in clear fluids, you've got a baby stomach & a whole new digestion system. Think of how much newborn's bellies gurgle lol. Plus your body is still detoxing from the anesthesia & pain meds -
OMG October 2013 Post-ops
Earthboundgirl replied to DevilBlueDress's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had my surgery October 23, so I'm currently 9 days post op. Feel great (other than still being a bit weak/tired) but I'm hungry ALL the time!! The Nut said we wouldnt have any hunger so I'm perplexed! Also, I can eat up to a cup of cream soup or a whole yogurt at regular rate & have no probs. Have even gulped my protein shake (by accident, wasn't paying attention) & nothing happened. I dont go back to hospital til end of Nov -

Thanksgiving ~ One week post-op
Earthboundgirl replied to MindiJean's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Wow. Only 600 cals max per day at 1 month post op?? Seems really really low -
I'm a week post-op (RnY) & kind of have the opposite worries. As a big curvy girl I had no lack of suitors & many of them were not happy about my choice to have surgery lol. BUT most of those guys were only interested in hooking up; NOT in having a relationship But for me, it was about being healthy & being able to be active & enjoy life again. But now I worry if I'll get the same amount of attention as a smaller woman? I'm hoping so. And hoping that I'll attract men that would be happy to have me as a partner also outside of the bedroom.
