Hey friend! I am so happy for you kevin good for you, as soon as you know it, you will be at your goal weight in a flash. Anyway, my question to you is, what type of exercising are you doing or plan to do.? Has you doctor suggested any kind, or told you how long/many times you should a week. I would love to know. Best wishes. Demetria

Hi Cynthia, I believe its normal. It lets you know your digestive tract is working again. I haven't really been hungry so I have been sipping too. I mix unflavor protein in just about everything to make sure I am getting enough. When I eat something I try to mimic what was given to me in the hospital. Broth, jello/unflavor yogurt/ shake and tea. That seems to work.

Hi Catherine, If you don't have a primary care doc. you can also call around to hospitals in your area. Most have information sessions for people who are interested in wls. That way you could research and find a surgeon you like and are comfortable with. Even if you do need a referal I would shop around and find the surgeon and tell my PCP who to refer me to. The information sessions will also give you an opportunity to make sure that bypass is the surgery you really want. Good luck to you!! Kim
