Had my RNY- Bypass this morning at 10am. So far liquids are all doing down great and no issues with walking. I am however super tired and I have to be woken up every 4 min to sip my water. Gas pain is nonexistent as of right now but slight pressure in my belly but other than that no pain. I’m feeling pretty good about it all. :)

Hi- I'm scheduled for surgery next Monday 7/9 at BI Milton in MA and I'm on 2 protein shakes a day plus 1 meal (protein + veggies + fruit, no carbs). No snacks, no caffeine, no alcohol. The first few days were TORTURE. I was lightheaded and dizzy and really cranky. Now I'm a week in and it's better physically but still hard emotionally/socially. I've decided it's good prep for post-op and it's getting me in the right frame of mind for surgery and the changes I'll need to make long-term. Hang in there! Elizabeth

I've notice a difference in my package also. It's awesome. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BariatricPal mobile app

This is YOUR JOURNEY. Go down your path as you see fit. I only told my husband and a handful of trusted friends. I still haven't told my children or my parents. It's not that I'm embarrassed or ashamed. Having this surgery was a personal decision and I intend to keep it as private as I can. That being said, be prepared that you may have to field questions from concerned loved ones who notice you are not eating very much. Recently, my children took my husband aside and asked if I was sick.

Hope you feel better soon.

Yeah, evolutionary cousins!

When I was sent for my endoscopy I had to go for pre op testing at the hospital a week before. They did an EKG, blood work, checked weight, BP and maybe a few other things. I have to do the same next Thursday for WLS surgery. After that is done I have to get a medical clearance from my PCP because of my comorbidities. Maybe because you are healthy you don't need it? Good luck though!!! And tell G-Ma to chill and stop freaking you out. This surgery is safer than crossing the street.

I'm almost 170lbs lost, and I swear it's tripled. LMAO!

Been castings shadows a while now.... just cool to see greatness reach new heights....lol...

That is true. Like the ground hog finally seeing its shadow...
