Roostertail2 98 Posted August 5, 2014 YAY!! You know that's what I was hoping for my recovery is also way easier with the bypass than it was with the sleeve, I'm not sure why since on paper the bypass seems (rather is) more invasive. I'll take it though! I'm sure you will do great and be out of there in no time! Thanks Becky.. I am also so happy to hear your doing so well. Hated that you had so many issues at your age especially.. You will most definitely be in my sights as we go through this. Yeah for all of us!!! 1 Beckyyb93 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pions9815 11 Posted August 6, 2014 I am scheduled for August 19th in Texas! I am SO glad I found this site!! I am finding it very comforting to see other people going through this journey to! A lot of people don't understand why you are having the surgery when you tell them about it, especially kids around my age (22). So I'm glad there are people that understand exactly why I am doing this I can talk to now! I understand completely! I am only 26 and so I have had some people question me too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pions9815 11 Posted August 6, 2014 Everything went well. Took a whole hour just to clear scar tissue. Had massive Nausea for a few hours but doing great now. Walking every hour- no gas issues!!! Several others who are here are not doing as we'll- they won't get up and walk.. Do what dr says- they know what they are doing!! Glad to hear you are doing so well!!! It helps to know others who have had bypass are doing so well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlj1110 49 Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Surgery on August 18th....day 2 today of liquid diet. Anyone have any ideas to add to these 2 weeks to eat besides Protein Shakes and broth? ? I am so excited to get my new life started! Love all the support on this site! Timing isn't the best...I'm a teacher and school starts the 25th, but as you all know, after waiting so many months you take the first date you can! I figure my health is the most important, and I'm ready to start losing! I look forward to hearing more about all of your successes!

Roostertail2 98 Posted August 14, 2014 Going for post op netting with dr today. Should be releasing me to go back to work on Monday. Doing great! Only complaint is trying to get in enough Protein, Water, pills and the few bites of food in a day. I'm constantly having to watch the clock! Always feel so full.. Kinda uncomfortable all day long! Down 11lbs lost that in first few days- no movement on scales for past 3 days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
