Hello...I live in Baltimore, MD and I just had gastric bypass surgery Friday, July 17th. I did very well and was able to go home the next day. I am able to walk, go up and down stairs, and sit upright position in a chair. There is not a lot of pain, but I am uncomfortable from the gas. I have yet to make a bowel movement or burp. I have been practicing my breathing exercise with my pump. I have to remind myself to drink more frequently because I'm just not hungry or thirsty.

Congrats for making it safely to the other side. Sounds like you're doing well. I couldn't be happier for you!

Yes!! Please make sure that you are drinking fluids. It is extremely important !

That's for the suggestions. The gas has passed. I had my follow up appointment today with my doctor, Dr. Li at Sinai hospital in Baltimore. She was really impressed how well I'm doing just 5 days post surgery. I'm off all pain meds. Today is my second day drinking Protein shakes (total 80 g) and 48 + oz of Water. I feel great. I walked around Walmart and walked the neighborhood twice.

Any east coast inquiries should check Dr. Li at Sinai out. Her track record is phenomenal.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
