Ok so I am two week and one day post op from the RNY surgery. The first week wasnt bad I felt good was down 26 pounds in one week. Life is good. Well now to the second week. Not so sure what I have done. My brain tells me I am hungery, my stomach hurts when I put Water in it or anything. I just had a thought that my tummy will tell me what not to put in my mouth to eat. Yeah it doesnt do that. I have had a couple of moments that i was like WHAT THE HELLL DID I DO.... I just want to eat like everyone else. I want to go to the buffett and eat a ton of food. Then I look at myself in the mirror and tell myself to suck it up becuase you are gona be a HOT MAMA when this is all done. I knew that this process was going to be hard but I miss eatting lol.

I lost 26 pounds in the first week after surgery. Then I have not lost anyting and I am 3 weeks and two days. I have actual gain 5 pounds however I am sure that is all Water weight,. I have been really swollen for a few days. I am having a hard time keeping food down right now. I can keep the Soups down and refried Beans sit really well but nothing else. Hang in there I was told that the weight will start comming off about 6 weeks in to it and not to get frustrated.

Ok I am two weeks out and did great the first week now I am not losing any weight. How do u know when u are eating to much or the wrong stuff. I seem to be able to tolerate things that I should not be able to. Also I have had my menstrual cycle since I came home from the hospital. Ugh I am not sure what to do..... please help

Thank you all so much for the possitive reassurance. I guess I just thought that it would fall off overnight LOL

I am glad that I am not the only one that forgets that I just had major surgery. I had my RNY on Jan 21 and went back to work in 9 days and couldnt figure out why my body wont do what I want to. Just take it easy !!!!

OMG thank you music1618 I thought that I was loosing my mind. My mom had her surgery in Aug and she hit all of this and I thought she was going CRAZY so now I will know that I am going to be just like that. I am trying to learn how much is enough. What a learning process. But I am trying to stay positive.

Thanks I woulnt go back and change anything. Just a new way of living.

I am two week post op and having a heck of a time with food right now. My doc said that I can go full liquid and eggs as long as I chew them up well. I really thought that I was a big girl and could eat other things then what the dr said I could and now I am really paying for it. I am back to Clear liquids for now. My pouch is very sore and very gassey. I am not sure what I can take to help with the gas? Any suggestions would be great. I can tolerate yougurt but not so well.

Hello I am Sarah and I started this process over two years ago. I first started with insurance then lost my job and went to the whole Mexico thing. Research so much that I thought I knew everything however that was not true LOL. I am now back to the insurance process in the USA and almost done witht he approval process. This has been very stressful "HURRAY UP AND WIAT" LOL I have my date set for 12/31/13 what a way to bring in the new year. I am really scard that I am going to fail this process and be fat for the rest of my life. Everyone say that I will do fine but I just am worried... Does anyone else have this same fear?

I am having my bypass on 12/31 the best way to start a New year. I am so excited but scared at the same time. Good Luck will be thinking about you

I am having my surgery March 15 with Dr Cabrera in TJ I am so nervious. I got all of the paperwork and it states in there to make sure you bring extra money in case there are any other procedure that need to be done. I am so affaid that I am going to get down there an then they are not going to let me leave until I pay. Is anyone having there surgery the same time and with the same dr?

I am getting my sleeve done with Dr Cabrera on March 15 I cant find to much on this dr any thought on him?

i am a insulin dependant type one diabetic who is on an insulin pump and i am going to have the gastric sleeve done here in the next few months. i am very concern about my blood sugars and what will happen if my blood sugars drop after the surgery, with no being to eat a lot and no sugar how do you handle the low blood sugars. Any information would be helpful this is one of my major concerns;

I am being sleeved on aug 17 and am a waitress as well how long do u think I should take off? I said a week but now I Am thinking two

I will be in tj on aug 17 so PLEASE tell us how it is

Ok so I got my date all set I am going to Mexico with Dr Alazaman. I am supper excited but I am so scarded about my blood sugars. I am on a insulin pump and I am not sure how this is going to effect me. I am going to talk to my doctor on Friday so hopefully they can tell me how to manage it.

Ok i have to know how many women have had the sleeve and as they are dropping weight they are dropping cup sizes as well. I really like my boobie the way that they are now and they would look great on a slimmer body but I am pretty sure they are not going to stay that way. Any one with the same concerns as me?

I am schduled with DR. A as well in Aug I have done tons of research and found out that he is the best. There is another DR Garcia that people talk very highly of but I did not like the terms of his contract that he had and that he charges more money for the fatter you are. You will be in great hands

Crap well that is not what I wanted to hear now I am going to have to save more money to get them fixed LOL.
