I just LOVE this thread!!!

I was weak the 1st week as well. I don't think I was hungry. I had horrible diarrhea and I was totally weak but it got better.

I would like to join. Me too.

I didn't know about it

I am on full soups. Any and all ingredients. It's liberating to have some variety in what I can eat. Idk. Solid food is challenging to me. It's uncomfortable so I actually choose liquids sometimes. I am excited that my sweet tooth has not returned. I crave salt. I'm excited overall.

I have a lot of terrified family members that make unsupportive comments. I refuse to keep my lifestyle change a secret or pretend all of a sudden the natural way is working. So I explain I don't want to take medicine for 3 conditions for the rest of my life.. My whole family is overweight.. So it's an entirely new way of thinking

We are surgery buddies. I had a bypass on the same day. I'm sorry this happened to you.

Yes I think it is par for the course

The pain has not been bad. I was feeling really weak. I am on a liquid diet and things taste different also. So I haven't really been interested in a lot of intake so that coupled with the diarrhea has really just made me want to crawl in bed and never get out. I will say my diarrhea has improved and so has my energy along with it.

I do a lot of education on wls.. In my circle there is a serious lack of knowledge

My only complaint is some pretty intense diarrhea. I guess bc I'm only eating liquids maybe my stools are liquid. I'm around 20 lbs lost

When is your surgery? My surgery was 02/12/16

You are new like me. My surgery day was 2/12

My surgery lasted a little over 3 hours. I had a revision of a nonadjustable band to a bypass. I chose the bypass because it is tried and true. When I got my band it was the new thing. It really sucked when I began to have issues, bc a lot of surgeons did not know enough about it.
