9 Days out of surgery...

I am 19 and I just had the gastric bypass 9 days ago and I am doing exellent. I got my staples out yesterday and they are healing good. I have been able to get some water in and protein shakes... and I haven't thrown up or had diarrhea at all! (YET!) How is everyone else doing? I hope just as well as I am. The only thing I get worried about is not getting all of the water in... that's hard. I was also watching Oprah on Monday and she did her show on teenagers and obesity, which being 19, is something I can relate to. So far, this was an amazing decision that was made. I feel good and I am starting to look good... even after only 9 days! Anyone have anything to say? Kylah

Kylah! Congratulations!! I am so glad that you are doing so well...it gives all of us coming up HOPE that we too will make it thru this to the other side : ) Thanks for sharing!

Congrats Kylah!!!!! Glad to hear everything went well and you are now on the lossers bench. Good for you. Keep up the good work. I missed the oparh on monday. My surgery is not until the 25th. Keep us updated on your progress.

:thumbsup: Kylah great job, I'm 13 days post-op, and now onto mushy foods, whoa for me. I am now at the point where I am having to use a hell of a lot of will power not to eat everything in the house. Can't wait for a fill in two weeks so it can help me continue to loose the weight.

Congratulations! I wish there had been an option like this for me as a teen. I'mm44 and 4 days out of surgery. I feel good except I have had the diarrhea and it has been awful. This too, shall pass. Keep up the great work!
