Anyone else recently had weight loss surgery?

Hi all, I had a mini gastric bypass 13 days ago and wondered if there is anyone else who'd like to get together as a sort of support group?

Overall the op went well, but I have kidney disease and suffered an acute kidney injury, so my kidney function dropped to 20%. As a result I was in an intensive hydration schedule in hospital, lots of iv fluid and drinking and drinking and drinking. Managed to leave hospital with 48% kidney function but it has been challenging maintaining it.

I'm now able to drink pretty much feeling zero restriction, and although I'm advised by my dietician I won't have stretched my pouch, I've started purée foods last night as I was staaarving and was able to eat way more than I thought I would be able to and didn't feel full at all, so now I'm really panicking.

Hi there, there's a group of us on the bariatric surgery thread, come and join us! 🙂
I'm not sure how to link (someone cleverer than me might be able to help with that!) I'll give it a bump to put it back near the top x
