Apprehensive feeling when asked "how much have you lost?"
drw2 replied to goblue9280's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I haven't gotten to the place yet...but I'm dreading it! Also I am friendly to everyone at work so I'm worried they're going to ask if I've had surgery. Have y'all encountered that and is so how do you handle it. Btw I'm a teacher so everyone is up in everyone's business Last thought how long (how much weight) did it take y'all to loose a pants size? Not trying to be rude lol...but seriously -
Inner surfer girl is the chicken soup flavor good?
-
I buy the unjury too and my nutritionist told me to use a half package of sf jello in it to give it flavor..I thought it was weird but I actually like it.

WALK WALK WALK & WALK some more! Glad you're doing great. Best advise I have is listen to your body.

I think I am finally on the road to recovery. I had gastric bypass surgery Monday. I am able to walk around my apartment and am taking my pain medication less. I am still on the liquid stage and had a few questions. My nutritionist said that if I will fill a slight push in my chestwhen I'm full. I haven't had that sensation. Is that because I'm not really "eating" in mainly drinking. I'm taking this process serious and don't want to mess up. I'm scared, is that normal too? Thanks in advance for your support.

I just had my first hunger pain. So I had broth and am sipping it. Honestly it made me a little nervous, I didn't think I would get any hunger pains. For the rest of yall is that normal?

I use the unflavored unjury protein, water and a 1/2 package of sugar free jello for flavor and it's not bad. It sounds weird but it's pretty good. I'm drinking a strawberry banana one now

So much pain! Please help! - Incision Photos included..rough
drw2 replied to Klolojadie's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Omg I had it the same day and had no idea the pain would be so bad. I ended up calling my Dr and telling him that 6 hrs between doses of pain mediation was not working bc then I was chasing the pain. He said he didn't want me to be in pain so take every 4 hrs as needed. That has really helped. Also even though it hurts try to move. I also have a small hard pillow they gave me at the hospital and I hold it against my incision sight and it helps a ton. But gosh coughing is by far one of the pains I wish would go away. Today was my first day to go 7.5 hrs with out pain medication and so I'm pretty happy. Hopefully you'll be feeling better soon. -
Awesome!!!!! I can't even imagine that feeling. I'm 4days post op

Thanks so much for your response. Good to know that I will feel it. It takes me a good 1.5 he's just to finish my protein shakes. Do you have anymore helpful advice I could use?
