Hello August Bypass Buddies...for many of us we are coming up on 1 month post op.. how is everyone doing? I'm still having trouble getting in my fluids and protein. I was doing good with premiere protein shakes but now I can barley swallow them but I feel good so that's a plus and I'm down 27lbs so that's another positive... how are my fellow August buddies doing?

I just had the bypass surgery on Monday was discharged yesterday while walking today I stopped at the scale bc I was curious obviously, but I am 5 lbs more than when they weighed me before taking me in to surgery! Has this happened to anyone else? Should I be worried? I also have a low grade fever the nurses didn't think it was anything to worry about. Looking for feedback from anyone who has had the surgery. I wish the nurses were more knowledgeable where I was, my dr was great but they just started doing the gastric bypass at this particular hospital and the nurses did not know much about the proceedure, one even tried giving me a can of ginger ale to help calm my belly. I told her it's a good thing I did alot of research before hand or her giving me that could of caused big problems. I told her the dr had an order in for meds for nausea she was like "oh ok I'll get that from the pharmacy but in the meantime the ginger ale should help" I kept my cool but my husband was furious and let them all know it.. anyway off topic, weight gain after surgery anyone?[emoji36]

Ok thanks... was freaking out a minute..but that makes sense. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I never heard of the Patches...but just ordered them after reading your post, I'm horrible at swallowing pills so I'm excited to just be able to wear a patch. I got a combination pack suggested for gastric bypass, is it ok to wear all 4 patches at one time? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
