Hello! I am 38, turning 39 in June. Having surgery April 4th, anyone else 39 and holding?

I hear you. I am getting discouraged today, guess I feel nauseous because I am getting dehydrated. Most of the surgical pain is gone now, so that's good. I just hate feeling sick. I called the surgeons office and they are getting me a Rx for a anti nausea patch, hopefully that helps. If not I have to go in tomorrow and get IV fluids. I hate the thought of another IV attempt! In the hospital they missed 6 times in 2 days, and the two they did get ended up leaking.

So I am 4 days post op, starting to feel better. I've got one incision that bothers me. I guess it's where he took my gallbladder out and sutured the hernia. I am glad I had the surgery. I keep telling myself everyday it gets better and better!

I had my surgery on Wednesday. My Dr. took my gallbladder out and fixed a hiatal hernia that I didn't even know that I had. Its kinda hard to believe that I actually had the surgery done. I was a bit sore the first two days afterward, today I feel pretty good.

Way to go girl! Lookin good!

I am 2 weeks and 1 day post op, I got the courage to take my measurements today. I have lost 10.75 inches and 26 lbs! I am now able to walk 1.5 miles, tomorrow I have my 1st follow up appt. Good luck to everyone!

The photo sitting is before surgery, the red sweater is now, about 4 1/2 months postop.
125 lbs down from highest weight, 81lbs since surgery

Try taking Devrom, It's an internal deodorant. I bought some from Amazon.com. Hope this helps!

A year ago today I started my new life... 177 lbs Gone forever. Below is a pair of size 28 pants and a 3 x shirt I used to wear. I can now fit both legs in one of my jeans legs from before. Now size 8 and med tops!!!!

This is such a great story. This is my journey. My surgery weight was 297. My surgery was on April 23, 2012. My current weight is 193. My doctor has a goal weight for me of 185. I have only been losing maybe a pound or two a week for the last month. I don't know if I will reach his goal but I'm happy. I haven't been under 200 pounds in over 15 years. I'm no longer on blood pressure meds, acid reflux meds or my c pap. I am so happy and feeling great. I will still try to reach my goal but if not I'm working on maintaining and keeping the 104 pounds that I lost off. 104 pounds that's a lot. I would've never been able to do this on my own.

I am a success story ...200 lbs since 2000/2001. Gained 40 back over that time and have since lost 60..workout, Water, dedication....paid off.

Perhaps you're under estimating the energy required for the healing process? RNY is not minor surgery and you're not even two months out yet. Internal healing takes some time and your body is going through a lot of changes at the same time. You may be off balance because your center of gravity is changing (quickly) and your "muscle memory" is having a little trouble keeping up. "Body image" is primarily in your mind and that takes time to change as well. You're doing great! Celebrate the 56 lbs you've lost already and do your best to be a little more patient. The changes will come in time. You might find some hunger tips that you can apply in my post "Managing Hunger" here on the forum. You also want to be sure to get all of your Protein and take all of your Vitamin and supplements every single day. You're gonna love the new you!!

I had an nsv today! I tried on a pair of size 14 capris and they fit! Cute even! 3 months ago I wore a size 20! Tightly! I'm geeked! Hell yeah!
