July Gastric Bypass?

Had my sleeve surgery on Tuesday 7/17. It went very well and was actually less pain than I anticipated. Did run into trouble today and had some gas pains and dizziness. I’m pretty sure the gas is from being constipated and the dizziness from dehydration. I really concentrated on getting Fluid in me and that seems to be better. Good luck to everyone!

Had my sleeve surgery on Thursday. The pain is not as bad as I thought just a lot of gas pains. Hard to drink the 4oz every hour? Anyone else experience this?

How is everyone feeling right now? I get paranoid about aches, and someone told me a stomach binder might be helpful for back pain? Anyone of an opinion?

I had bypass on the 17th. The days in the hospital sucked. Working to get liquids in the first four days was tough and I thought I would need something for pain management forever. But now I’ve gone a day without the Lortab and feel like I’m on the mend. My abs hurt much less.

My weight has been crazy. My starting weight was 344. My surgery day weight was 299. I left the hospital weighing 312, and now I’m back down to 295.

Congratulations on surgery. Mine was the 19th. It’s been hard keeping down the liquid. My weight before the surgery was 252. Day of 245 let the hospital weighing 249 now 243. Can you keep the liquid down now?

I’m on day 7 of my pre-op full liquid diet, and the weight I’m losing is slowing down...I’m curious how much others lost in their pre-op diet? I’m following instructions to a T and I don’t want my surgeon to see how little I’ve lost and think I was cheating!

Hi Everyone,

I had my sleeve done on the 19th. Only a few small issues because of some underlying problems but nothing major. A little sore on the right side but I am looking forward to getting back to my new self😂

Congratulations to you too! liquids are much easier now, but really the only liquid I’ve been drinking a lot of is Water. I’m able to get down a half a Premier Protein shake or half a Protein water at a time (over like 20 minutes). Everything else I’m allowed to drink just tastes a bit blah to me... I’ve occasionally been having two ounces of bone broth cause it’s approved for me... it’s got some Protein and is warm and salty so it’s a nice reprieve.

      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.
