    May 2023 surgeries

    Ok, I need to know what this thing is. I am fairly certain I am going to need this in my life! I thought y'all were talking about the Ricotta Bake, but the recipe that Lindsay linked didn't say anything about spaghetti sauce (I am assuming that red stuff is the sauce).

    May 2023 surgeries

    Howdy all, just found this forum. Had my Bypass on 5/15, so a little over a week out. I see some complaints about being tired, I was pretty tired my first week, couldn't make it through the day without a 2hr nap. On day 8, I didn't take a nap and have been feeling pretty good since then. Before my surgery, my doctor said that very low energy was VERY common and effected people differently. He did say that after 3-4 weeks, pretty much all of his patients felt good and were back to normal/better energy levels. So I hope you guys start getting some energy back soon!

    Travel after surgery

    A little late to the game, but I just had my Bypass on 5/15/2023. I am flying to Italy for a 2 week trip on 6/28, so around 6.5 weeks total from surgery to trip. I discussed it with my doctor and he had no reservations about the timing, I think he would have been comfortable up to about 5 weeks out. According to my food plan, I will be on soft foods by then, and fish/salmon is one of the best "starter" meats, so I plan on having a lot of seafood while over there. I do plan on taking a healthy stash of 1-off protein powder mixes to dump into a bottle of water if I need to supplement. I would recommend requesting a hotel room with a mini-fridge and putting some yogurt/cottage cheese/protein drinks/etc in there so that you aren't constantly trying to figure out meals.
