    Miserable

    One month out only 16lbs down. Constantly constipated, no weight loss in 2 weeks. Lots of meds to make me go, no dairy at all. Still having sharp isolated pain when I cough, sneeze or turn over. No energy, no desire to eat cause I know it's just clogging me up.....and the list goes on and on....not to mention depressed!

    5 days post-op

    I'm 18 days out and my advice is don't go against your Dr's plan. I started purred food yesterday and pushed the envelope a little and had a soft food and threw up right away.....not plesent at all.

    Full liquid diet and pain

    Don't worry, while I was in the hospital I thought I was gonna die. My bladder was slow to start and didn't pass gas till I got home. But it does get better. I'm 14 days out

    Anyone getting married?

    I had Gastric bypass 3/25 and am getting married 8/1/15. Having surgery 4 months before getting married kinda freaked me out because I already bought my dress, but my fiance said we can get a new one :-)

    Weight gain

    I came home from the hospital 19lbs heavier.....but from reading the posts about it I expected a gain and it took a week to get back to my surgery weight.

    14 days to go....

    Drink it through a straw....I used a tervis cup straw and was able to down all 10 ozs at once. I ended up having to drink a 2nd bottle so the straw definitely helped.

    Any Advice

    I know I'm 10 days out and a basket case! I cry at the drop of a hat and go from happy to sad to happy to mad in 10 seconds or less. Hoping this ride stops soon before my family commits me.....lol

    Sleep flat? Post op

    Been in my bed since the first night but propped up on 4 pillows....hurts to lay flat or on my sides still. I only sleep about 2 hours at a time for some reason. Sorry to hear of your abscess hope all heals well.

    Two days out.

    Glad to hear you are doing ok! I'm 9 days out and still a little uncomfortable at times, but headed to Universal Studios tomorrow, so I know I will be worn out. How did you like the staff at Tampa general? I thought they were amazing!
  21. My NUT gave me the suggestion while on purred food to use a cream soup like cream of chicken and add baby food chicken. She said once u blend it together u would never know it had baby food in it. I'm working up my brain to try it when I switch to purred.....lol

    Gall Bladder

    I had my gall bladder removed along with having my gastric bypass. My Dr said he wanted to be pro active, that he knew I would have to have it removed in the near future so why cut on me twice :-)
