Sorry to hear - I did that once - didn't get sick, but couldn't take another bite - couldn't move - just couldn't do anything but pray, swallow slowly, and hope that it passed (literally) and didn't come back up. It was miserable! No rushing. Always make time for your meal - and don't eat distractedly. I'm reminding ME not you I'm still at risk to do it again! Hope you're feeling better!

Small bites and chew, chew, chew. Ugh, I forgot and the meal ended up in the toilet. Oh well, lesson re-learned. Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi I am a month out haven’t loss any weight I went from 259 on surgery date to 245 a week later and since week two I’ve been at 240-241/242 I don’t know if I am doing something wrong sometimes I can see that I am losing inches and sometimes I can’t [emoji30] any suggestions I’m 27 and 5’7

So this was my first surgery ever so I was nervous at first. Also I was a high BMI patient. Once at the hospital EVERYONE was so awesome! When it was time to go home I didn’t want to leave. Once I went to sleep in the OR I don’t remember anything until they wheeled me to my room. Apparently I was in recovery for a couple of hours first but I don’t remember it at all. I really didn’t have much pain. They kept the drugs in my IV going so I’m sure that’s why the pain didn’t bother me. When I left the hospital on day 2 I actually just took liquid Tylenol and ended up not needing the Oxy prescription given to me. My incisions never bothered me either. I had 5 of them. The bigger one had some stitches poke through which I will show the Dr. next week. Now, I did throw up once (with blood) while I was still in the hospital. I’m not sure why other that I tried to get up too fast. I walked every 2 hours and was able to start drinking and eating jello the same evening of my surgery. I took 4 weeks off from work and I needed it. Trying to relearn eating has been a struggle and I have been tired. Had a problem getting all my protein in and still working on that.

Good luck with both your insurance and your surgeon You are making good first steps. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Could it be a juice or even a soft drink like Squirt or 7up? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

April 10th here I was nervous now Im excited cause I'll be able to tolerate the summer better (heat wise) I hope when I lose weight. And look sexier added bonus

I’m actually having RNY in the 10th as well. Nice to have some surgery buddies! I’ve been on here for a while just reading posts, but thought it was finally time to join in the conversation. Nerves are setting in, but I’m glad I won’t be going through this alone. Hope we can stay in touch!

I see that you are in NJ as am I. Would you mind telling me what hospital you had your surgery at and the name of your surgeon? I'm scheduled for overlook so just curious. We also have similar stats so I'm hoping my surgery goes as smooth as yours seems to have gone. Thanks.

I guess I'm still queezy because I tried having some oatmeal as a snack and it came right up. I'm way behind on liquids. I'm going back to clears only now. Got to let the system recover. Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app
