Hi everyone. I had my Lapro RNY last Tuesday at about noon. I am back to work today and feeling great. I am struggling a little with the high Protein clear liquid diet that my doctor has put me on for two full weeks (and three days). I'm not finding it hard to get the required liquids in...just getting really bored and being mentally challenged with breaking the addiction to food. I'll admit, the surgery DOES NOT end your desire to eat...NO NO, it does not. Last night, my husband made sushi and I cried, for a long time. I just wanted to eat something...anything. But, I made it and I have a feeling that it will get easier. I I hope so at least.
At my pre-op appt. I weighed 323. The day of my surgery (5 days later) I weighed 315. Today I am at 305, one week out. Is this good? I guess ten pounds in a week is pretty good considering I've never been able to do that on my own but I don't really know what to expect.
Here's what I'm "eating": Physicians Specialty chocolate dream protein (with skim milk) and Unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein Powder with warm Water. sugar free Jello, Powerade Zero, & Chicken broth (low sodium). Yep, that's it. Pitiful!
I'm excited about what the future holds and I've already had to get rid of a few pairs of jeans. It was an odd feeling to put on denim and it be baggy. But woo hoo!!!!

Yes...thank you so much for the encouragement and kind words. Its definitely making this easier. Ranee....your weight loss is awesome!!! I'm so motivated by that. Btw...you look amazing!
Janifer...I'll definitely keep everyone posted on the loss, struggles & successes. I think this site is super supportive! Congrats on ur upcoming surgery. I will tell you, I was so scared right before mine but I am so glad I went through with it. The pain was nothing compared to the pain I feel in my hips and knees everyday. I didn't even take any pain medicine want I got out of the hospital. That's what I was most scared of was the pain . Today I weighed myself and I was 301 lbs. That's 14 lbs down since my surgery 9 days ago! Its amazing how it just comes off. I am seeing the loss in my face and neck, thighs and tummy. I'm just so so glad I went through with this. You'll do wonderful!

Hi Beth, my name is Ranee. Indeed we have used the same surgeon who I like to call my "life saver". Dr. Roller is absolutely amazing in every way. I am 10.5 mo post op RNY bypass. I currently weigh in at 155lbs and was 298 pre op day of surgery. So that's 143lbs lost so far. Even still as I type this it seems soooo surreal. Congrats on your new journey that has only just began!!!
You are absolutely right in saying that gbs doesn't change your mind. I think this is one of the many reasons we are all called to do mental evals. It's take a whole heck of a lot to NOT eat when you want it that badly. I too cried when my husband and daughter would eat in front of me. I actually had them eat in the room away from me MANY times bc it was that hard. So your not alone.
I am currently at a 10.5 month park in my journey. Being out this far, I can give you a promise that it will get easier and better. Once your able to eat(chew) food, even if it's not that appealing it will be the most fabulous thing lol. I feel like I have so much I could share with you but there may be a cut off on this thing lol so, I'll just leave the question asking for you. I have always been an open book when it comes to my gastric bypass. So if you ever have a question feel free to ask. On your Weightloss thus far, I think it's fabulous! I'm pretty sure there is no "right" amount you should be losing-everyone loses weight in their own way and own pace. Trust me, it'll pick up before you know it!!! Congratulations again, Beth. You have one amazing life transformation ahead of you. ????
❤️ Ranee

Well, Dr. Roller said that most of his patients can go back to work within a week or two. I am a counselor and sit on my behind all day so I think it's okay. I was sitting at home just craving food and pinning a hundred recipes a day so I figured the distraction would be good. Plus....I'm poor and Christmas is sneaking up on us!

I'm feeling great! I'm still in the two week clear liquid/high Protein stage and that's a bit tough but overall...I'm wonderful. I was out of the hospital in about a day, up walking the block the next day and am back at work today. So glad I didn't chicken out!

I just had my surgery on Oct. 15th. I'm so excited for this new life!!!! Congrats everyone who is fixing to have it!

Good luck! The surgery is a breeze and recovery is swift. You'll do great!
