I am 7 days post op and feel pretty good!

I am still a little soar on my right side. I have been walking every morning and getting as much Protein as I can stand. The liquid bit is getting old but I will hang in there.

I have only lost 8 lbs so far, I guess I need to do more walking.

8 lbs is awesome!! Keep up the good work. I have my surgery on August 12th and I am currently doing a two week liquid diet. I'm both nervous and excited. I hope that i feel OK 7 days out. I am more worried about the after surgery phase, than the surgery itself. Congrats on everything!!

Good for you -- walk walk walk and remember to stay hydrated so drink those tiny sips of Water often! 8 lbs is good, it'll get better and eventually, the pounds will be melting off and you'll feel amazing! Good Luck!

As of today I am 9 pounds and 6 days out. My only struggle is getting all the fluids. Yesterday I had doctors appt and I was at the beginning stages if dehydration. I didn't know. My heart rate was 125 sitting in the doctors chair. He called my surgeon and they said dehydration. Doing much better today. Even walked almost a mike with my 3 kids!

Yes I'm 7 days out and I have pain on my right side.

So you are not alone! Let's get healed before we try any physical activity.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
