I just had to say that im 20 days post op and tried 1 scrambled egg a few days ago...it did not go well for me at all! Everyone is different but go light on it just incase!

Of course this gives my husband another reason to hate the idea of the surgery LOL

Lmao so true

LoL!! Im so glad i read this. I had been wondering about this certain .."liquid". Thank you SO much for the warning!

I just asked my dr today when it was safe to have a little alcohol (hell if we cant eat we might as well have a little fun drinking every now and then!) So they told me 1 year post op. Im only 20 days post op...i don't think i could wait a whole year!

Congratulations and good luck to you!!! Do not be afraid to get up from the bed and walk around, it will feel SO good! (But make sure a nurse is with you!)

Oh and smells! Ugh everywhere i go i smell nasty smells. Even certain foods smell really funky now! Bleah

Had the surgery on the 8th. Lost 20lbs the first 2 weeks but nothing the past few days. Head hunger is driving my crazy and i cant seem to drink enough Water. Have no energy but attempt to walk everyday. Does anyone else get lightheaded or dizzy every time they stand up? Other than that im so happy i got the surgery and cant wait for the next few weeks to be overwith!

Im having problems with my Water intake too! Im 20 days post-op and besides head hunger this has been my biggest struggle. Ive always been just a plain water drinker and used to be able to chug a bottle of water within seconds. I am sick of sweet things so im not enjoying anything flavored drinks.(although i do love my popsicles!) My husband jokingly said he was going to buy me one of those water backpacks that runners use and tape the straw to my face! Now i know aren't suppose to use straws but the water backpack might be a good idea (minus the straw taped to my face) as long as we are careful we might as well try anything!

Im in san antonio texas. Im 1 week post op today!

Hi everyone! Im exactly 1 week post op today and i am kind of surprised at how smooth everything has been for me. The surgery smooth...hospital stay smooth and pain level pretty low. Infact i haven't even taken pain meds today! The only struggle is my head hunger.

I finally called and got the ok for full liquids! Woohoo!

Head hunger is the toughest thing to work on but' date=' you really have to work on it in order to keep the weight off. I know I have to work on it all the the time. Also...I've found that often when I "think" I'm hungry my body is actually thirsty. So I drink more Water and if the hunger goes away, that's what it was.[/quote']

Thanks so much! Im doing this for now on if i get a head hunger!

Hello everyone. After my surgery the put an abdominal binder on me and told me to wear it at home. For those who got one how long did you wear it? I wear mine when sleeping and walking but when im just relaxing in a chair i let my tummy breath im only 6 days post-op but im wondering if i use it too long it becomes a bad thing. Just curious

Hello thanks for the replies. I was planning on calling tomorrow. I was starting to get cravings (not that im really hungry or anything) so i thought it might be my body telling me that maybe i should start working on some full liquids

Hi everyone. Had rny on thurs. Nov 8th. When my surgeon stopped by on friday she said "remember Clear Liquids only". Heres my problem. The only information i found regarding post op diets i have found online. The wls clinic i go to has not gone over that yet. Due to the research I've done myself i understand the stages...clear..full liquid..soft..etc. my follow up visit with my surgeon isnt until Nov 27th. So is she expecting me to be clear liquid only until the 27th? Or should i go by what ive learned online. Which is full liquid 3days post-op? Thank you:)

Hello! I just had the surgery (rny) on Thursday. Nov 8th. I lost 61lbs since july (low carb/walking) I am so excited that Ive actually gotten the surgery...i was getting so impatient and now that 5 days have past since it still hasn't completely registered that the surgery part is complete. Lol My surgery went extremely well and my overnight hospital stay went by smoothly. If your reading this and are pre-op definitely walk when the nurses tell you to- it feels SO good! Left the hospital friday afternoon..even stopped at cvs for Vitamins. I finally started feeling higher pain levels on sat/sun but only every now and then. The only thing i ever needed help with is getting out of bed which i finally was able to do by myself this morning. Yay!! Everything has gone extremely well for me (knock on wood) however today the old me is craving salty chips or even just some bread and butter but luckily my stomach is telling me "what the hell are you thinking!" My cravings havent been this bad since july. Im asuming this is normal..i just hope my brain gets over the cravings! So anyways i thought id join and say hello. A little about me: im in san antonio texas. Dr Dana Reiss was my surgeon. My first weigh-in in july was 472lbs. My last weigh-in Nov.7th was 411 lbs. I'm 5'11" so i get the "wow you dont look like you weight THAT much" sometimes...but then again i dont go blabbing my weight amount too much. I still havent decided on a goal weight. Ive been overweight my entire life...i dont want to be too skinny but i definitely dont ever want to be this heavy ever again. My goal for doing this was 1) health reasons. I turned 33 in july and started thinking...hmmm...how many more birthdays will i be celebrating. 2) to have children 3.) Cute clothes and shoes!! I havent worn female shoes since i was a little girl. I cant wait to wear dresses and heels!
