Hi! I just had my gastric bypass 5 days ago. I see improvement every day. Which is great. I pass a little gas. Not much. I have had 2 tiny bowel movements. Very tiny. Does it take a while this close to surgery to get " normal?"

I am so ready for some food tho! I have to have shakes and Water for 2 weeks only. Then can graduate to soft foods. eggs sound so freakin amazing right now! Lol. It's funny how fast everything changes. I went from craving a bunch of tacos and soda to now just one egg. All I want is one egg! Lol

I had my surgery on MOnday. My Protein has to come from the three my NUT and surgeon recommend. Barbaric Advantage, Chike, and New Direction (I think). It has something to do with the type of Protein these deliver.

I'm on all liquids (3 4oz protein shakes/day plus 64 oz water) for the first 10 days... Then on puréed foods for 2 weeks (I think I can get pretty creative with this one LOL)... And then finally soft foods for 2 weeks (We will be in Florida for the beginning of this visiting my dad... I want lots of fish and crab! LOL)

I can use high protein skim milks in my shakes if I'd like to to get more protein and a few calories in during the beginning.

I'm supposed to be on powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or Celebrate per my nut. I cannot tolerate either. So I'm on premier. It's amazing. And it has more Protein anyway. Luckily I'm able to get it down.

Just a heads up: Unjury and Celebrate were recommended to you because it is 100% pure whey isolate protein-- it's basically a super clean and pure Protein without the fillers. While Premier is a great, quick ready to drink go-to, I'd never use it as my main Protein Shake (but that's just me). it's a protein blend full of fillers and while it boasts 30 grams of protein, you're not really absorbing 30 grams of protein, b/c its not pure whey isolate. My NUT told me you're probably absorbing about 15 grams of it. Just letting you know, in the long run, you're better off with the dr. recommended protein.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
