June 29th Bypass Surgery



Recommended Posts

How is everyone doing today? 4 days out and I feel I am now starting to turn the corner. sleeping better and starting on my Protein replacement. I've reduced the dosage on my pain med but not the frequency which I think helps me function.

My stomach is still very swollen and full of Fluid. It may be a week or so before I start to see a change in my weight. Thinking positive and long term!

I'm happy to hear you are starting to feel better!! I'm one pound down since I was weighed in before surgery. But I still feel hungry. It doesn't help that my husband is watching the food network. But I know if I eat something it's going to hurt so it's definitely not worth it. I'm having a hard time getting my 40 grams of Protein in with the Isopure. Not that I dont like it, but after 3 sips my stomach hurts a little so I stop and then forget to go back for more. I guess I have to get into that habit.

I just had surgery on the 30th and this is my first day posting to any forums. I had the gastric sleeve. Hoping to find some encouraging friends that can relate to what I am going through

Kell,

Me too ! I'm still here, I'm getting out tomorrow. This has been such a

Bad experience for me. The pain is ridiculous, when I go for a walk, I still can't stand up straight. I got my drain out today and now I'm on Tylenol 3. I got my drain out today which was awkward and bloody, and now I'm just trying to release gas whenever I can. We're almost done with the worst part girl !

Ah TeeNahh

I'm sorry you had a drain and so much pain. I was just telling my husband, "what the hell did I just do!" The gas pain, the bloating, the food cravings, I am struggling a lot. I got no sleep in the hospital which sucked and I'm sleeping as much as I can now.

On pain meds for sure! I have a sharp pain in my right side sometimes so I will have to ask dr about that on Monday. Trying to be positive but it's hard. Plus, my addiction was food and I'm struggling saying goodbye to it. I guess I'm just in a funk.

Happy 4th everyone!! Today was a true test for me. Independence Day is my all time favorite holiday and it is surrounded by food, friends, and fireworks. My absolute favorite thing to eat is grilled food. Watching my friends indulge in all the goodies while I sipped my Isopure was hard. And I did not budge! Partially because I know if I ate it I would be sorry! But now that I'm home I'm realizing life isn't always about food. Even though I wanted it, I still had a great time with friends and still laughed.

How was everyone else's 4th? Anyone else have temptations? I hope you all had a fun, safe, and healthy holiday!

Temptations bad today foe sure. I so wanted a nice big juicy burger with all of the fixings and some baked Beans. But I held strong and just watched everybody else do that

One of the reasons why I had this surgery was because if I didn't have something physically stopping me from eating unhealthy foods I would never achieve my weight loss goals. I know eventually that day will come where I have to resist my urge to indulge again, but by then I will have lost enough to know it isn't worth it to eat so much. If it wasn't for this surgery physically stopping me right now I would have caved and not gotten back on the eating healthy wagon again.

Today was definitely difficult for me while everyone was eating. I wanted a hot dog so bad! But I eventually snapped out of it and ate my 1 oz of Soup and went on with the evening. But seriously I can't wait for some actual food.

It's crazy how different everyone's eating regimen is. Since I got home from the hospital I've been on a liquid diet which has consisted mostly of 1oz of something every 15 minutes but 2 of those have to be Water or a water substitute and the other 2 can be something like: sf Jello, sf pudding, Soups (liquid or creamy no chunks), Protein Shakes, cream of wheat, malt-o-meal, yogurt, etc. Then when I see my doctor on my 2 week follow up he will let me know if I can start soft foods. Scrambled eggs here I come! ???? I can't complain though in 6 days I've lost 15 pounds. woohoo!! How are you doing on weight loss?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
