Aaaaaaamazing!! I'm just beginning the journey- only 8 days post op. Feeling kinda down so reading everyone's successes, really helps! Keep up the good work!!! That's awesome and you should be so very proud of yourself Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Cls...I had my surgery on the 24th and I had my day too where I also cried and once I started it was hard to stop. Reminded me of when I had my girls. I'm 41 and they are 11 and 6 now. Anyway, nice to have someone going through this and these stages together. I agree, feel very lonely at times. I'm a principal so I'm used to a very busy schedule w/ work and the girls playing sports. Now I'm home with so much to think about. I'm still having a lot of pain on my left side. I knew I'd have it, but wasn't expecting it to still be this bad. I'm very lucky as far as keeping things down and getting fluids in. I'm frustrated with not losing as much as I thought I would but I have to remember it hasn't been that long either. Are you finding yourself the same way? I'm looking forward to the next stage of food for some variety Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ahhh...thanks for the response! Congratulations and thanks for the information. You did great immediate post op. I'm not doing that well, yet. I'm hoping to get there soon! I had to have my gallbladder removed a month before the bypass. I never really had many problems with it, but apparently it was really bad. Good thing now is I don't have to take that medication your talking about. That's no fun, glad it's just a short time you need to take it. I live in Ohio, so walks outside for me right now are out. I walk around the house and up and down stairs to move some. I know they say that's key. Thanks again for your response and keep up the good work! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh thank you for responding! Feeling a little alone right now and praying this works for me and I see some progress soon. Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congratulations! Can already see improvement! That has to be the best feeling. I'm 8 days out and in the blah stage. Not feeling the best yet, and not seeing much weight loss. Do you remember this your first week or 2? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm also looking forward to hearing your responses about puréed food. I'm. It going to be one that can purée just anything! That just sounds awful so I hope some others can help out with things that worked for them at this stage that will be coming up for me soon.

Sounds like some of you are at the beginning stage like me. I am 7 days post op. I don't really post on here, I like reading the posts from others. It does help. Anyway, my question is about early stages of weight loss. I think I've only lost maybe 5 lbs. guess it just seems like I should've lost more after not eating for a week. Can someone share their experiences with me or tell me that I shouldn't be worried about it right now OR am I doing something wrong? Think my nerves are getting the best of me. Thank you for anyone that can help me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Try Core Power already made Protein shakes. They taste good and are convenient since already made. They have vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. They have light and elite(42g of protein in a bottle). Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am only 6 days post op and the Dr and nutritionist said to not worry about the Protein right now. Take time to heal and try to get the Fluid intake in. I think we're expecting to see results quickly, but we just went through surgery and can't be so hard on ourselves. It will come off...well, I keep telling myself that Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
