I bought a 2 Oz measuring cup I got at the container store. I uses that to gauge how much I was drinking, Protein and Water. The bottle of water seemed so overwhelming, but when you do a couple of ounces at a time, it does not seem so bad. Keep sipping. It will get easier. I had bypass almost a month ago.

If you have a Krogers, their SF Popsicles are great. I could not stand the name brand ones. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I live in Montgomery, TX but I am having surgery in houston. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App I live in Willis, but had my surgery in Houston at Memorial Hermann in the Texas Medical Center. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

@@FocusOnMeNow is correct. Too much Protein can damage your kidneys if you are not using it up. Athletes need extreme amounts of protein. I know every program is different and I go by what my surgeon tells me. I am only 3 weeks out but I am getting between 50 and 60 grams a day. At my 1 week post op, the surgeon said most people were only getting 15g at that point. I was at 45! He said that was fine. Btw, love this app and forum. I have learned a lot from the group just in the week that I have been on here. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Hi! I am almost 3 weeks out and I started walking when for 2-3 minutes at a time when I got home from the hospital and slowly increased it. I am now walking 10 minutes twice a day. I get tired out, but after resting, I get better. Everyone is different. My surgeon told me to listen to my body and that is what I do. Feeling really good!

I have/had that problem as well. My surgeon said that nausea was part of the process and that it would get better. I am almost 3 weeks out and still have some nausea. I take Zofran when it just gets intolerable. Call you surgeon and ask him for some. ???? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I had that problem as well. At my post op, I asked my surgeon and he said Miralx was good. I have been taking it for a week and I am now regulated. Good luck! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I has problems with constipation 10 days out. My surgeon said not to worry about how often I went, but what the consistency was when I went. He said I could take miralax. I started that last Saturday and I going every 3 days. No more constipation and no diarrhea. Have been getting my Protein and 70 Oz Water at least. Started with puree foods today. So far so good!
