luvingme 9 Posted May 21, 2016 Started at 304 pounds..14 days after full bypass I'm 284 pounds. I must say gas was the most painful part.Hot tea is my new bestie I have kept everything down that's a plus. I just listen to my body. I'm not very hungry I'm thirsty. Im having a hard time getting fluids down. I'm always feeling full quick. I started eating soft foods day 14 ....four spoonfuls and I'm full.

kimsport 16 Posted May 21, 2016 I am so excited for you. Sounds like you are doing great. I am scheduled for surgery in 5 days. Can you tell me what that first week post op was like and when were you able to be up and about with your regular routine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luvingme 9 Posted May 21, 2016 I am so excited for you. Sounds like you are doing great. I am scheduled for surgery in 5 days. Can you tell me what that first week post op was like and when were you able to be up and about with your regular routine?Well I was up walking around the nurses station next day. They will force you because of gas. You MUST walk to remove it. Otherwise the pain is horrible. I also had my gallbladder and pancreas removed..that contribute to my down time. I'm still down..no house work but I'm driving and moving slow. I have staples and had my drain tube removed on day 17..normally in a week your good. I have 4 friends to have the bypass procedure!!!!!

James Marusek 5,244 Posted May 21, 2016 As far as your daily Fluid requirement, remember everything counts. The Water that you drink. The Water that you use when you take your Vitamins. The water component of Soups. The water you use to make your Protein shakes. Milk, tea, Decaf coffee. Sometimes people find that hot fluids (such as tea) work good for them, other find cold fluids works better. For me I know in the winter that I really enjoyed hot cocoa (no sugar added variety) and then in the summer Crystal Light flavored drinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
