I know...it's really rough. But it's like childbirth one day you won't remember the pain :-) I spent the first week in bed pretty much. But once I got through that it got better fast. -
Was anyone still interested in meeting?

Hang in there I was so miserable the first week. But it does get better I promise. Just take your meds and try your best to stay comfy between walks. -
This week's marks 4 months since my gastric bypass was done. So I figured it was time to do a side by side comparison and boy was I wowed at the result!! Pic on left was me at my highest of 278...day of surgery I was 256, the pic on the right was this past weekend at my Bachelorette party and I'm at 216! Seeing the difference is really shocking and I can't wait to be able to post goal pictures!!!

Being informed is a great start but remember everyone's experience is very different.

@@ReadyFourChange it's been a struggle but getting better everyday. I'm 6 weeks post op and just starting to feel a little mormal. Good luck with your surgery and may you have a quick recovery.

I am 6 weeks out today and until just a few days ago I felt the exact same way. It does get better. I'm still struggling with protein and water....but seem to be adding a few more ounces every day. Keep your chin up and your eye on the prize.

My best NSV yet....no more ppi's....dr. removed me from all Gerd related meds today!!! Now if I could get rid of these pesky allergies I'd be med free!

Buddies (Gastric Bypass)
skc72 replied to Prada-Savassi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@tanya131313 so sorry to hear that you're having such a hard time. Are you up walking? The gas pains were the worst and the only thing to help is walking. I was off pain meds by day 4. And I thought I was dying the first 2 days. But it gets better quick. I hope it gets better for you soon. -

Checking in to see how everyone is doing....little over a month out. Down 20 lbs. Still sore but back to work. Soft foods are working out great and meeting my protein goals but not my fluids :-( working on that. Can't wait to start weight training in 2 weeks!!
