Two days post- op from my gastric bypass. The abdominal pain is the worst part particularly in bed finding a good sleeping position. I don’t take pain meds at night but they probably would help. Sipping water and getting proteins in is a full time job but I’m getting the hang of it. My favorite drinks so far have been the unjury vanilla premade drink and the unjury chicken soup. I plan to try yogurt with unflavored protein powder in the next few days. Best wish to everyone wherever you are in the journey! -

Thank you. Everything went well. Surgery was at 7:30 and I was in my hospital room by 1:30. Sipping water as I can and dipped my spoon in the various protein drinks from room service. Gas pain was not too bad, thankfully, but I’ve been walking the hall as I can. I dozed off most of the day on and off. -

Just finishing day 1 of a 3 day liquid diet. Gastric bypass on 9/6. It was mostly okay. Had to break up the sweet clear protein drinks with chicken broth with unflavored protein powder. -

I’m scheduled for gastric bypass on Sept 6th. -
Thank you! I haven’t tried FairLife yet. They are going on my shopping list.

My gastric bypass is May 23rd! Surgery twins! My pre-op is not until May 11th and I find out about my pre-surgery diet at that appointment. When do you start your pre-op diet?

My gastric bypass is scheduled for May 23rd. I’m over the nervousness and am excited for a new chapter. I’ve read and watched as many YouTube videos as possible. What are everyone’s favorite protein powders/shakes? I’m still looking for mine.
