Jan 2019 bypass buddies

Here I am post OP day 3.
I honestly feel really good.
I haven't taken a pain pill since Wednesday, tylenol yesterday, nothing today.
Tmi...I pooped for the first time this morning, so I am happy that's out of the way.

I am actually debating going back to work on Monday and save that second week of vacation for true days off.

Hi, I have been looking for the January 2019 group, finally found it. I had my surgery on 1/27/2019. My Highest weight was 253, I think my surgery weight was 248 a week after surgery I was 235. Now, a week later I am still 235 and the scale is not moving. I feeling frustrated about that. How can I be consuming so little and the scale does not move? I've heard about stall's but I was hoping they wouldn't happen to me...j/k

That’s the one incision that hurts me so every sip I take, I can feel it going down. Ugh

i was never a sipper either so that’s an adjustment.

I had my surgery on January 31st. Everytime I take a sip, it hurts. Cramps. I think it may have something to do with the gas.

I was fairly lucky, I havent had the gas pains. It's all incision pain. I have been taking my pills ground up with apple sauce. That is the only problem I have, the taste is so bad it almost comes back up.

How’s everyone doing post op. I had the surgery on the 16 th and am back to work tomorrow. Probably could’ve gone back last week but decided not to. Am glad to have the break. I lost 4kg in the week following surgery but not a single pound had come off since. So frustrating. Anyone else’s experience this? I wasn’t expecting to stall so soon

My surgery was the day after you. I’m glad I don’t work because my energy levels are still close to zero. Just walking around a shopping centre wipes me out. Not sure if that is from the anaesthesia, the op, the blood transfusions I received or the middle ear infection I currently have!

Other than that recovery has been pretty good. No pain. Just trying to figure out what foods I can eat as mushies. I’m tired of yogurt and custard and other sweet foods. Weetbix and oats don’t sit very well. tuna or smoked salmon with cottage cheese is pretty good but I seriously need new easy ideas that don’t taste like baby food.

I have lost just over 4kg since the surgery. I’m happy with that as I’m a revision and don’t have a heap to lose.

First thing I’m making mid week is ricotta bake

I’m two and a half weeks out from surgery now. Got the ok on Wednesday to move to full liquids - finally dived in today and had some chicken and wild rice Soup - strained as much as I could of course. Oh. My. Heck. My new friend (whatever I call my nonexistent stomach now) DID NOT APPROVE. The McDonald’s on the way home that I stopped at to use the facilities is now somewhere I can never go again. Uuugh.

      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.
