RNY 11/13/2012 Hey guys, so here's the thing, I want to continue to encourage all of you to share your stories but not just on here but in your every day lives. When i was going through the process i didn't know anyone who had done the procedure and it was kind of lonely... i didnt know about this forum and i was just doing it by myself or so it felt... Since having my surgery i have been very open with people about it... what i have found is a lot of people who are interested but scared and unsure about where to go what to do, etc... so it got me thinking of if we could be a support for someone in our everyday lives then we should.... Just a thought

Just had my 8 week check up and I am down 45lbs post op and 55lbs pre op ..gotta keep pushing forward good luck to my friend who will be having her RNY ob Tuesday

RNY date 11/13 so today i was drinking a sip of water (i always have trouble getting water down) and i could feel it trying to come back up and my mouth got that nasty watery feeling blah so i run to the sink to spit it out and there was a lot of blood mixed in with my saliva ..anyone else experience this? Normal? I'm assuming its coming from my pouch...

Im 5' 11 down 33lbs Surgery date 11/13

For the past 2 days anytime i try and eat i get so nauseated and cramp a little i dont want to eat n e thing-_- rny date: 11/13

Thoughts ? I have been really sick with a cold and the only thing ive been able to stomach is chicken noodle soup...

Yes ma'am i have ankles too lol

That sucks:( i didn't get stapled or stitched or glued i got taped and by the sound of it its a good thing.. good luck i hope he takes them out soon

Sorry Starbucks has decaf green tea u can get it hot or iced i know i have had a lot and im still on pureed my doc said ge doesn't mind it as long as its in moderation

Starbucks

Any one try it?

Omg tofu is awesome throw it in some miso or seaweed soup...

ALOOOOOOOOHA!!! I am 20 days postop today:) and the past three days i have been finally getting more liquids and food...my life line has been Wakame Soup and Power Aid!! Yay i wanna try tuna and crackers n e one try crackers?

I have the same issue... i talked to my doc and he said its normal when drinking cold liquid or Water but that its not my pouch its my small intestine its not used to cold temperatures cause my old stomach warmed up all the liquids before it moved to the small intestine... he said it will eventually go away when it gets used to it...

Mines 2

Really what time wed? My post op is wed @9:15 so i fly in, in the morning Well surgery went well wasn't that painful actually, i had more gas pain then anything..STAFF IS AMAZING they have a great system and i was very impressed..which says something cause i aint easily impressed lol Dr. Grief WONDERFUL honestly i would recommend anyone in Hawaii interested in doing this procedure check out Pali Momi Anyway im getting used to the change in eating etc. I won't lie and say that its easy because this liquid diet is pure garbage lol but if i can make it through this i can make it through n e thing lol i hope on wed. I can move to pureed food:) Maybe ill see ya wed:)

i know its a lot of sugar but i have been on the fence of becoming dehydrated.. i just couldn't stomach Water on its own or juices, etc. This has truly brought me back... @wps2 I dont actually eat the pulp i chew it, drink the juices and spit out the pulp.. maybe it will work for u?

I have been having problems getting liquids in without discomfort but then i tried a piece of watermelon chewing it up drinking the liquid n spitting out the pulp... 13 days postop
