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

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!

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

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

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!

Head hunger is the toughest thing to work on but, 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.

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:)

Could someone please come up with a high Protein low carb/sugar pizza, doritos and reeces cup?? I am having some bad cravings today....not giving into then but dang what I would give for 15 mins of no rearranged guts. Ok thanks for listening to my rant....I'm back to the real world now.

Hi there surgery sister. I had mine last Thursday also. My surgeon said the most important thing is hydration right now. I've been on a combo of clear and full and am doing pretty well. Can you call your surgeons offices and ask a nurse there? I was having some lightheadedness and was told to up the Water a bit. They were happy to answer me so try that before you go off on own mission.

I worried about dying from surgery but all was well. I worried about puking all the time but it has rarely happened.
