Hi everyone I had my bypass surgery 1-11-16 . And I have to say it was the greatest thing . Dr said get out of bed to get rid of all the gas and walk the halls . So I did and it helped so much . Couldn't eat at the hospital but was able to drink ally Water so all was good . Second day went home . Now four five months later still having problems eating certain meats. But I can actually love to get on the scale. Love to see it go down instead of up . By the way when I started off I was 289 and 5'3. And now I'm still 5'3 but 217.2 it's not helping my back yet but I'm praying .

meats can be very hard on the stomach. I tended to stay with softer foods such as chili and Soups. meat in this form goes down easier. I have included some recipes at the end of the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

      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.
