9 days post-op and finally feeling a little better

[Mickie0130 61]

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum. I'm trying to learn how to setup a profile and other than a name that's all I seem to be able to do. Anyways...I had gastric bypass 1/30/2017...

Went for my one week check up and I'm down 17 pounds since my surgery and have lost a total of 32 pounds in the last 3 weeks. Being on liquids for almost a month now has been a struggle but getting better. I find the mental side is harder to deal with right now than the physical side. It was a relieve to her from my nurse today that everything I've been experiencing is normal. It's a roller coaster but I'm hanging on.

Congratulations on your surgery.

As far as editing your profile - click on your name. That should open up a pull down menu. Select Profile. Then click on Edit Profile. (But if you have not already set up a profile it might give you a different choice such as set up profile.)

Mickie0130, I also had gastric bypass 1/30/2017!!! Had to have a second surgery on 2/4/2017 for bowel obstruction, which really set me back. Struggling to drink enough and right now, really regretting my choice. What have I done? Hope things look up soon for both is us!
