I am 42 and had my bypass on Feb15. So far I'm feeling good. I took a month off of work after and needed it. All my recovery time I focused on fluids and Protein and moving more. I was really sore,but the strong pain med made me sick, so I just used liquid Tylenol. I really wish all the best of luck! We all need it. This isn't easy, and the support is crucial. I would do it again in a minute! I feel wonderful.

Hey @@Papiluv33, good luck! You'll do great. I am just one month post-op now (as of yesterday). I'm down 25 lbs since surgery (and that was with a 14 day stall).

If you're interested in what my first month post-op was like, I did a fairly detailed write-up yesterday.

You can find it here if interested: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/365863-one-month-post-op-thoughts/

      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.
