Today marks one week since my gastric bypass. It has been a rough start, but I’m feeling and getting better everyday. I make sure I’m walking at least 30 minutes every day. I am still struggling with hunger. But I assume —it is my hope— that the hunger goes away. I have 12 days until my first follow-up appointment. At that point, I hope the doctor will move me to the next level.

I’ve dropped 10 pounds since surgery day. It’s a struggle, but I’m taking it one day at a time.

Are you sure it is true hunger and not an acidy feeling in your pouch? Are you on any meds for heartburn? If it is true hunger it will get better as you move through the food stages. Sorry you're feeling this way.

I’m not Really sure. Monday was just a bad day for me.

Hey guys...

I’m looking for an accountability buddy in or near Memphis.

Let me know.

I’m 4 days post-op and I find that I am struggling with hunger. I’m drinking the Water and Protein Shakes, but I’m still very hungry. Am I the only one who is/has struggling/ed wish this? If so, what did you do? What should I do?

Normal. I gained almost 10 pounds of Fluid while in the hospital!! It took me about 6 days to lose it and get back to my surgery weight. Hang in there!! Congrats on your surgery!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

I had GB on Thursday (4/18) and now that I’m home, I’ve gained the weight back I loss during the clear liquid stage. I’m assuming it has something to do with the swelling and all the fluids I was given in the hospital. However, is that normal or should I be concerned?
