Gastric Bypass

So I had a gastric bypass about five weeks ago. I’m just wondering if there is a specific group for those who have had weight loss surgery on MFP?

My surgical team are pretty vague about calorie and macros post op and I could do with some support 🙂

    I had mine almost a year ago.

    You should have received a comprehensive packet before surgery, at at the time of, with the stages for your diet, how much protein you need, liquid guidelines, etc. You should also be seeing a dietician as part of your post-op care.

    I think there are groups, but they aren't very active. As a registered nurse and fellow bariatric patient (down 190lbs total, including the 30 I had to lose pre-op), you can feel free to reach out to me, but also, you should contact your surgeon's office with specific questions.
