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?"

Yes, it took me several days to get the gas out and then I felt amazing:) I'm two months out and just now becoming "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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
