New&Improved

That's how it starts "I'll have just one...."

My blood pressure and blood sugar was fine all week so I'm off those medications

Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones

So glad I'm not the only one thought my doctor forgot to do my pouch lol jks had to ask him did you actually do the surgery Hahahahaha

I get that but there were so many people saying they can't drink much...

Shakes. Tuna. Lowcal. Low carbs.

GOOD HABITS START AT HOME

Most protein shakes have the sweetener stuff anyways my shakes are very sweet but only 2g actual sugars

Mine was low cal low carbs shakes and tuna not just liquids but yes it varies depending on your BMI

Thanks everyone after day 3 and drain removed starting feeling better still bloated and farting lol but now 7days post op finally home doing well still a little soreness but minor compared to first few days.. Doing well drinking lots

Drink water and protein and move around and farttttttt

I had no energy or care for shower until 3 days post op very sore for 3 days

Why's wait 3 years

I still cannot believe they only give you one night... I was in major pain for 3 days after surgery hard to sleep had good drugs to sleep.. Rny

And yes a good friend picked me up drove me home :))) nurse man helped carry my stuff to the car even 😛

Yeah was just asking for others experiences ??but yes he said it's safer and better for you not so restrictive to harm you..

I'm 7 days out drink plenty of water just take smaller mouthfuls to be safe and as above takes time for your body to learn and adapt to the changes internally..

Yep my surgeon says its like a revolving door in the USA

I'm taking chewable bari vitamin tastes nice

I was born with kidney issues so they wanted to be sure my meds would work so made me stay the weekend... I was ready to go Friday lol Its weird like I feel when I take medication and the pills go down but I can drink a lot of fluids maybe a 600ml bottle every couple hours... I've always drank a lot due to my kidneys and this is only half as much as normal unlike some ppl talking about struggling to drink 1 bottle a day??? I still take smaller drinks per mouthful but not like I expected only to take 100ml(4oz) an hour...? I'm always thirsty and I'm still on liquids so have my shakes plus I carry bottle of water with me to drink.. It might be due to my surgeon doing slightly larger stomach before the bypass? **Sorry TMI but my first poos were greeeny black lol**

Was a long time at hospital read my new post thanks

Are you for real

Yes I'm starting to feel more normal now That's for sure.. Just made it home.. Btw I'm off all blood pressure and diabetes tablets my levels were great the whole week in hospital

Hey guys hope all is well. I'm just getting nervous and anxious about my surgery coming in 10 days time. I would love to hear from people who had surgery in the last month or so. Can you run down exactly what you went through whilst in hospital? How did you feel in the first few days to weeks.. Where you able to drink much water? Did you feel hungry much? Was the pain bearable? And in the first weeks or months are you still feeling restrictions on how much you can eat or drink in one go? I'm just curious how we're meant to get enough protein if unable to drink much liquids? My surgeon says his directions are 2+2+2 for each phase but if you like you can stay on liquids for 3-4weeks shakes etc Sorry if I'm posting a lot 😬 Mikey

Hey guys just curious if anybody here understands the science behind the pouch size? I've read the standard pouch in a bypass is like a golf ball very small like 1oz? My surgery said he does more like a mini sleeve thinner pouch 1oz to max 2oz? He said it's safer and easier to heal? Ive read conflicting reports but does the pouch size make a huge difference in the long run? If any veterans or medical people can explain?? Mike.
