6 days Post Op happiness

I got the bypass done on Monday the 1/13. The first two days were rough but it has been pretty smooth since! I don’t have any pain drinking water anymore, taking my vitamins or drinking protein shakes! Thank goodness because I have a TON of protein shakes, I always loved them even in my regular day to day diet before all of this. My calcium citrate is a dissolving tablet that tastes pretty good, I actually enjoy taking it! I can sleep on my side, stomach, any which way which is great because my husband and I are cuddly sleepers lol. I’m on liquids for the first week and Purée/Minced for week 2. I’m super excited about that, I can’t wait to chew any kind of food lol! I started at 242 and now am at 231. I know it’s only been a few days but wow, I am SO happy I finally got this done! I wanted this surgery for years but something always came up. Unplanned pregnancy, insurance stopping and just the fear. I got it done in Orlando as a self pay patient. My team is a bit strict in my opinion, they said no starches for 6 months which sucks but hey, it’s ganna be okay. They allow straws at least so I’ve been using them since day one.

Just wanted to share my thoughts!
