Hey everyone! Just had my bypass surgery on Tuesday and thought I'd drop in and give an update. My surgery was textbook and I am already home. I spent 2 nights in the hospital, and was up and walking the very first night. I have had some problems with gas (belching and gas) but that was to be expected considering the CO2 that they pump into you for the operation. I have five small incisions, and overall I'm feeling good. I was very drowsy and out of it on surgery day, and the dry mouth is not the greatest feeling. Now, three days out, I have already transitioned to phase 2 of my diet. I got chicken broth, and had three bites of a pudding cup along with my protein shake and clear liquids. Each person will have a different plan, but that's where I am as of now.

Feel free to ask questions and such as I am home fore the next three weeks recovering. I am so excited about what is to come!
