Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
and I think I did pretty good. I got in 50 grams of protein, and 70 oz of liquid to drink of which a good portion of it was actually water flavored with some crystal light. So far so good nothing has bothered me or made me sick. I am crossing my fingers that I will be one of the lucky ones. I got in 40 minutes of exercise today as well although it was broke up into 5 and 10 minute increments and it was slow walking and some stretching. But considering how I am only a few days out of surgery I would say that's pretty good. Hope everyone is doing good as well. I am going to ride this positive feeling for as long as it lasts because I know from reading the different posts here that there will come a few times when it will be hard to remember the positive. I am also writing things in a journal that I use a pen to write in. Need to remember these days for certain.
I also have a pen/paper journal. In the tech age we're in, I think the old fashion art of writing has lost it's luster.

Others may disagree, and I don't want to mess up what is working for you, but it you can it would be good to learn to drink your water straight. There is growing research that the artificial sweeteners trigger carb cravings and mess up your natural taste (and other metabolic changes). If that's the only way you can get your water in, then go for it...but natural is always best!
