I had the gastric bypass !



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery Aug 11th . Um I have been walking a lot but I still have pressure and soreness. I think I will puke if I taste or smell broth again. Oh and if one person tells me I'm taking the easy way out ... Hasn't had the bypass and need to shut the fuck up :)

Hang in there betterme008! I totally get it with people talking about "taking the easy way out..." Well, if they were caught in a tiny crevice between a rock mountain and an iceberg [fallen 300 ft. down in there], and their choices to get out alive were to 1] make it to the opening at the top, OR 2] allow themselves to fall another 20 feet [some cuts and bruises along the way] and get out through an opening in the rock that leads out the side of the mountain. There is no way any sane person would choose #1 when there is an "easy way" outta there. This surgery is a matter of life or death for most of us. When facing certain death who wouldn't choose the "easy way out". I'm totally proud of you and myself for choosing bariatric surgery. We are not lazy or stupid...we are courageous and strong!

I only had broth twice.......but my surgeon said I could have the Protein Shakes after I got out of the hospital, between that and my Water, I did not want anything else. Hang in there.......ignore the ignorant

People are bold in their judgements. Some of the things they say are just incredible and reveal what asses they really are.

Hi, I had the rny gastric bypass last Thursday 8/14/14. I am home now, but I am in so much pain. I can't find a comfortable way to sleep. Getting off and on to bed is excruciating. I have been walking around through, I still feel bloated and bruised. When does it stop hurting?

I had my surgery done robotically on July 28 & my only issue in the hospital was the anesthesia.

I got up the next morning & walked my laps around the floor. I sipped my Water & that night they added crystal lite, was good. Next morning I had a Protein shake, drank it in about an hour & went home @ 11 that morning. I took a Tylenol 2 days later, other than that I took no pain meds.

I'm on stage 4 now, mashing up my food isn't so bad. It's just amazing how full you get so fast on so little. I made the mistake tonight of eating a bite too much of my egg salad......feel uncomfortable now.

I really didn't know what to expect & it surely is not taking the easy way out, but I'm glad I did it. I do no regret it & I think I had it easy. I hope others had/have the same experience.

Congrats! Mine was on 8/11 and I'm still on Clear Liquids. Nothing about this is easy! My recovery was smooth until I started hemorrhaging so I was re-admitted 2days later for a couple nights. Glad you're doing well!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
