Ms954jkwd 10 Posted June 3, 2015 Congrats to all that have their dates, I had my gastric bypass May 6th, I'm doing good best I can tell you is follow the diet plan they give you. Don't get disappointed if you do lose a lot right off I'm only down 14 pounds but for me I'm very happy not going up coming down. Make sure you eat slow drink only 20 mins b4 eating and 20 mins after I got sick one time my fault stomach was full but tasted so good ate to much that's a no no.. I feel so much better my depression is almost none existent my energy is coming back. I wish you all good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

srbs62 8 Posted June 3, 2015 Itt's really odd.... I had surgery yesterday and from everything I've read it's so hard to get all your liquids down. I am having no problems. I can drink 4ounces at a time... Also ate a Jello cup with no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can drink 4ounces at a time... Also ate a Jello cup with no problems. I'm 2 days post op and can't get anything down until this gas is out... and I can't seem to get it out for nothing.

caligul 102 Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I have surgery on Monday at 1045. I am on a 2 day all liquid diet starting tomorrow. It's getting realIt really is... well best of luck to you. I am 3 days post op....and nobody told me how painful the gas pains would be (drs pump u up w/gas at surgery. .and they give u meds to stop your bowels). They (gas pains) are worse than the surgery itself....but walk..walk. ..walk around the hospital...and it will pass..mine took about 40 hours...and that's with taking gas-x and lots of walking. Just keep walking. ..and putting heat pads on ur chest. You will be in prayers for a speedy recovery! Edited June 6, 2015 by caligul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

srbs62 8 Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) How are you doing? That was for carebear42 Edited June 6, 2015 by srbs62 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carebear42 82 Posted June 6, 2015 I am 3 days post-op and pooped this morning. Wasn't much but enough to help relieve some gas too. I've been walking a lot and the gas isn't too bad. I came home from the hospital yesterday and I'm feeling not too bad. My stomach is sore but that's expected. I gain a few pounds in the hospital but lost that last night. Now I am just trying yo get some Protein Shakes down and my Water. Little sips...I also exited for this journey to finally be here! Thanks for asking! How is everyone doing?
