My surgeon said the reason is that our posture changes as we lose weight, making us stand more upright. So our muscles have to work in a different way to accommodate the better posture.

Thanks for the replies! I have been slowing down even more and taking smaller bites. I'm sure it was just too much on my pouch. The funny thing is that I was at the hospital because my husband just had gastric bypass, so I went to the cafeteria hungry and that was the only thing they had on my diet sheet. This is a learning experience for sure!

It was a small egg and I ate half and then waited a little while to eat the other half. I'm guessing it was too much and too heavy though. It's just confusing that I had the same thing yesterday and it didn't bother me.

I had a breathing tube during surgery, I was out when they put it in and took it out though. I didn't have anything other than an IV after surgery though. I would ask your surgeon because the protocols seem to vary greatly.

I'm 22 days post op and my diet sheet says I can have hard boiled eggs now. I had one yesterday for lunch, not my favorite but it was convenient, and everything was fine. I had another one today for lunch, ate slowly, chewed well, etc and felt fine for a few minutes and then threw up. not much actually came up, but so many heaves. I felt much better after, but now I keep getting waves of nausea. I don't understand why, if anything I took more time to eat and chew today than I did yesterday. Could I be ok with a food one day but not the next?

I used chewable gas x and that helped enough for me to walk and work it out. It took a few days though. Hang in there.

Good luck to you both! each day has been better. Today I am working on my liquids, I know I haven't been drinking enough.

I just wanted to see how everyone is doing. I got to come home last night and it was so much better sleeping in my own bed! I had a lot of gas pressure, but gasx and walking have help that a bunch. How are you?

I had gastric bypass yesterday and I've had so much gas pressure and pain. They say to walk, but that hurts and all I want to do i sleep.

I am having bypass tomorrow and I'm so excited, scared, nervous, and hungry!!!

My surgery is tomorrow and I am so nervous about not waking up from it and leaving my husband and 19 month old behind. I am also excited to start my new healthier life. I won't let my little one visit me in the hospital because of the nasty super bugs, I've never been away from her so that will be hard.

Day 1 of clear liquid diet, and it's been pretty hard. I'm going to make some chicken broth tomorrow. I like seeing the updates, it helps to know I'm not the only one. lol. Good luck tomorrow!

I start mine on Saturday for surgery on the 17th. 3 days of Clear liquids only. Good luck with your pre-op diet!!!

I started with Aetna, who required a 3 month plan, but on Jan 1 got switched to UHC. UHC requires a 6 month plan, but the 3 months that I did with Aetna counted toward that. They just want proof that you have been in a supervised diet for 6 months. Other than that, they have been fine to work with, I got my approval last week and I go for surgery on the 17th! Good luck.

I've wondered about this too and think I will just do sports bras for a while.
