i was having the same issues ,I now take all my vitamins and iron via vitiamin and iron patches which you can get from the bariatric store and find them great

i was just like you I came out of hospital 4 lbs heavier and was horrified!! not only that but it was not shifting at all for the first week,i was convinced there was some thing wrong .I am happy to let you know that I had my surgery 11-2 21 and I am now 18 days post op , 12 lbs down. I know everybody says dont stand on the scale but after you have taken the big step to have the surgery its only natural to want to see the results .I have become addicted to standing on the scale every day and am now seeing it go down daily which is great.I hear a lot of people on the forum say they had a stall at week 3 so at least i am prepared that if i see this it is nothing to worry about.You have taken the brave step to have the surgery and the weight WILL come off dont wory .I am like you I take 400 calories a day ,70 gr protein and 2 litres and its working . Good luck on your weight loss journey Mary

i just want to report that i have finally seen some weight loss!! I am 16 days post gastric by pass for the first week i weighed more post op than on the day of surgery have now lost 11 lbs which i guess is ok .My calori e intakei s 450daily ,70 grm protein and 2-3 litres of water have no problem eating but i have devloped a haematoma at the main incision site ,it is swollen and painful if I walk too much but doctor says it should re absorb on its own So to anyone else like myself who gets a bit of a fright when they come out of hospital weighing more than when they go in ,just to let you know it comes off eventually. I guess the thing to remember is that this surgery is not a magic bullet. You still have to restrict your, intake and ensure adequate protein intake, the best result for me from the surgery so far is that I am not hungry at all and I can only tolerate small amounts of food at a time . So good luck everybody in your journey and success to us all,we have done a brave thing and we will make it!!

Yes we are very similiar profiles would love to keep in touch i have finally list some weight happy to report down 7 pounds in 13 days post op well done To you on your weight loss a long and hopefully successful road ahead for both of us 🤞🤞🙏🙏😂 mary

Its hard to believe that there are people who dont believe in wearing masks it is an airbourne transmitted virus that means that you are in danger of contracting the virus everytime you are near someone not wearing a mask i wear two surgical masks ensure the nose clip is. Tightand a visor on top of that as you can contract it via your eyes as well Wearing a visor on its own is of no use without a mask i work as a nurse in an intensive care unit and it is so sad to see young people dying who we simply cannot save .This is a deadly virus and the UK variant is much easier to contract .I think wearing a mask a small price to pay to save your life and that of others in Spain you cannot even be on the beach without a mask The huge problem is all these covid patients worldwide are taking up ICU beds which there is a limited amount of it also means that patients are having procedures postponed as there is no ICU beds available i think if everyone spent one day in a covid unit watching people gasping for breath it might sink home to stay at home and if u must go out please wear a mask it just common sense really

Hi All Has anybody used the vitamin patches in the store here and if so do you find them good also has anybody got the protein shakes and what do they taste like .Anybody found anything in particular in the store that they would recommend

thanks for your reply ,yes i might try them,finding it a bit hard taking all the supplaments and the protein shake just turns my stomach

For breakfast i take protein shake and for dinner i take soup and some hummus i have discovered fantastic yougart Made by nestle its called kvarg i get vanilla flavour one large pot has 90 calories protein 17 gram tastes lovely

Sorry i meant i had my surgery 10 days ago gastric. By pass

I have just made a gorgeous lunch which i would like to share with you all i had my surgery 19 days ago and my surgeon has me on puree diet now i had a poached egg quater soft advacodo and some smoked salmon it was really easy to swallow , high in protein and tasted delicious i also had an expresso with a drop of cream all stayed down and it felt like somewhat normal eating calories 280 protein 20 gram i was starting to gag with the awful taste from the protein drinks this is like mana from heaven 😂😂😂

Hi there I am new here too,had surgery 9 days ago.My weight loss so far is zero which is a bit alarming but im told not too worry too much about it, I am 59 years old ,maybe the weight loss is a bit slower for us older ladies.Like you I have struggled all my life with weight but despite a bit of pain initally I am delighted to have had the surgery. We have begun the journey.I have not suffered heartburn but maybe your doctor could increase the dose ,i hope that is some help.Good luck on you journey Mary

thanks all ,actually my pain is much better to day,the antibiotics are helping a lot for the wound infection think im getting there slowly but surely!!

Hi All I am 9 days post op and still need pain killers x 3 in 24 hours ,has everyone felt the same need for analgesic also how long is it before you can sleep on your left side ,i normally sleep on my left but find I cannot lie on my left at all at the moment ,it is too uncomfortable

Hi All Can anyone give me a rough guideline of how many calories daily they took in the early stages post gastric by pass and how many is enough to maintain continued weight loss Thanks Mary

yes i guess you are right ,I have decoded to take the scales away and not weigh myself until my first post op appointment or I will drive myself nuts!!

Thanks jaelzion just a bit anxious as 9 days post op and am same weight as day of surgery despite intake of 600 daily and 2 litres water

Thanks Crick i went back to the doctor to day i actually have a haemotoma / infection at the wound site ant they started me on antibiotics i am still the same weight tho , doctor says not to worry about it but it is a bit disheartning am drinking 2 litres of water a day and a good protein intake calorie intake is about 600 daily so cannot understand how im staying the same weight it is now 8 days since my surgery Things can only get better🤞🙏😂😂 will keep you posted appreciate the feedback well done on your brilliant weight loss it gives me hope mary
