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.
I just had the gastric bypass surgery on my birthday 10-17-17. The days at the hospital where ok I was drinking my liquids and doing all that needed to be done. When I got out I continued with the diet the only thing I sometimes think I am not drinking all I need to drink, but I do not feel sick. Is this OK how do I know when it's enough?
I was one week out from my surgery and was extremely dehydrated, I was use to drinking a gallon of water every day and that is the biggest issue I have I'm 5 weeks out and still can't drink 64oz, but yes you need to keep drinking as much as your body can handle, and make sure you keep up on your protein, I was weak and sleepy all the time now getting 60 grams of protein a day, good luck.
MissBlu, it would be lovely if you would introduce yourself in a separate post. We would love to hear from you!
