I was absolutely Blessed I had Zero issues. The only discomfort I had was from my Haital hernia. The sleeve was perfect and I’m losing every day. From 240 to 222 now. Surgery on March 8th. Just know everyone’s journey is different, everybody body is different. I know people who had pain after surgery and got sick or had dumping syndrome, me however had no issues.

My first couple of days were tough given the issues with trapped wind. But that’s abated. Been walking since Day 2 - slowly increasing the time spent each day. Going for 40 mins today. Have already lost 10.9kg (24 lbs) which is really encouraging.

Wow that's an amazing progress congratulations! I've lost 10 pounds in 6 days and thought that was a lot! Felt my first hunger pang this morning and panicked a little.

I just got my surgery March 22 . The gastric bypass. After surgery it was very painful. But gets better with some time. You will feel like you can drink much at all. Good luck!

Hi all

How's everyone doing? Hard to believe that today's the end of the first two weeks.

I've been so very pleasantly surprised at how well this second week has gone. I'm having the best sleep I've had in years, and still amazed at how little I feel like eating. The hardest thing seems to be ensuring I drink sufficient water!

      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.
