My weight loss journey.. gastric bypass



Recommended Posts

My name is karly .. I am 21 years old and had gastric bypass on 06/13/2016 weighing 250 pounds.. After waking up from surgery, I was in alot of pain and was very uncomfortable for 2 weeks straight . Finally after two and a half weeks my stomach did not feel so horrible. Yay! Tomorrow will mark three weeks post op and now weigh 224 pounds. Unfortunately for some reason one of my incisions is showing signs of being infected, and now on heavy antibiotics to stop it from spreading! Pray is does not go to far deep or spreads to my other incisions. I will be updating pictures semi monthly or monthly .. love to hear story's and learn new recipes ! ( on the right was taking the night before I started my liquid diet .. and on the left was today 7/3/16) post-293530-14676086338396_thumb.jpg

Congratulations on your weight loss thus far. After you come off the antibiotics remember to take some Probiotics to reestablish the colony of good bacteria in your gut. Here is my experience with RNY surgery. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf I have included some recipes in the back once you get a little further along.

      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.
