I don’t see where we have a thread on the post op side! So I figured I’d make one since very soon we will all be on this side!

I'm 9 days post-op bypass. Yesterday I had my 1 week appt and I'm down 23 lbs [emoji4] I haven't been this weight in about 10 years. I'm already very excited that I went through with it!
I'm mostly meeting liquid and protien goals, walking my 10k steps/ day, and dr cleared me to ride my beach cruiser on flat trails.

I’m on day 4! Learning how to deal with this new stomach. The only problem I have so far is dealing with pain from the incision that my stomach was pulled out of. I also made a “smoothie” earlier with whipped Peanut Butter, that was a big no. My stomach let me know right away. Other than that, I’m just sipping along 🤗 Hope everyone else is doing good!!!

That’s great!!! I came home 5 lbs heavier than I went in and I lost 4 of them.

Dang!! It still hurts me walk to the bathroom 🤣🤣 Glad you’re rocking it!!

[Mom_of_Chaos 545]

Day 4 post op went well still up and walking a lot were both feeling well still other than the pulling feeling. Introduced a couple sips of full liquids and we’ve both lost 2 more lbs! Oh and although I never liked popsicles before, outshine sugar free popsicles are life!

Oh and No BMs yet here.

Did they give you stool softeners when you were in the hospital or a prescription when they sent you home?

My first post-op bm came day 4. Yours should be happening soon lol.

They didn’t give me any but I knew from family members who’d had VSG before that I should start taking them.

[amaynard 151]

I’m 1 week and 4 days post op today! I am down 22lbs since surgery! Feeling great. I haven’t had any real cravings, started missing texture so I did add in Soups and had some ricotta bake to help satisfy that! Purées start on Monday but I’m a couple days ahead.

Oh and the “pipes” have been working since post op day 5 for me. Pain has been gone since post op day 6. I’m waking regularly, no 10k steps, but walking nonetheless. I will get the exercise ok at post op appt on Monday!

[KatieMc 55]

I'm 11 days out, down 9lbs. Only real problem I have is bending over to pick something up. Fluids and shakes are no problem, I hope to say the same about purees soon! Walking is a bit uncomfortable, with gravity pulling down on my belly jiggle and therefore my stitches, so I'm not doing as much of that as I'd like too.

[DianaP 38]

I'm 12 days post op. Feeling really good, walking a good bit, hitting my Protein goals every day, but still trying to get more fluids. Can't seem to get more than 50 ounces. I'm only 5 pounds down from surgery day; that seems low to me, especially now that I'm seeing other people's numbers. I know the weight will come off, and we've just barely started, but isn't it supposed to be jump started now during the liquid and puree stage? I've just been on liquids (purees start on Monday for me) and following things pretty precisely. Anyone else not lose very much yet?
