I had RNY on Oct 1st and this is no joke. Ended up back in the hospital once. It's such a trial an error to figure out how much to drink how fast...etc..... 2 oz of meat in my baby measuring cup looks like nothing I want to use a kitchen scale but my plan says DO NOT use the scale only a measuring cup....I feel like I'm eating nothing. I'm so tired, I can't do much more than walk for exercise.... One of my belly button incisions looks weird....random pains sometimes...

So my surgery was on the 18th and I'm currently in my full liquids phase (puree is on the 1st!) It no longer hurts as food goes down but I'm still trying to adjust to timing with eating and I feel starving at times. Hoping I get adjusted to that eventually.

I have an appointment n 2 weeks to see my options

I'm hoping it's not a long process! I'm just starting

It's getting closer and closer. I am hoping everything is going to go well and that I get approved for turning my sleeve into bypass.

Hi! April 8th for me too!

Dr just called surgery is now scheduled for April 9th

I had sleeve to bypass, but not because of GERD. My sleeve was so stretched out, it was useless. I'm happy to answer any questions about the process.

Thank you

I'm going through the process now with my insurance company for the same thing. I was sleeved a few years ago but I've got severe reflux and had esophagus damage as well. I'm really hoping the bypass is going to resolve the problems.

While mine was technically medically necessary, my doctor wanted me to go through their bariatric program so I can learn what life and eating like with RNY. The program was accelerated because my GERD is severe. I began middle of November and was approved 2/1. Surgery is on 3/18. It was worth the wait and I appreciate that they wanted me to be as knowledgeable as possible.

So excited. Put my stats into a BMI calculator and realised I'm no longer overweight. Yay. Still got a bit more to lose as my middle is still too thick to be healthy but being in the healthy weight range again feels amazing!

You can do it, go get you some cookie dough Quest bars! It will hit the sweet tooth and give you 21 grams of protein...

What are you at?

SD:4/16/14 - SW: 300 - CW: 234 (Down 66lbs) I am little excited... I had a big lose this week. I lose 4.2lbs this week and since I saw Dr. Singh 15lbs. My goal weight by July 7th next visit with Dr. Singh is 229 (per my scale - his scale is always slightly different from mine).

You Gotta Back track, I'm On A stall, So I understand! I packed my lunch today real lite! Keep exercising, and put away the scale! I was sleeved on may 7 as well!

That is so frustrating! I'm almost 8 weeks out. I hit 2 small stalls. And even gained 2 lbs the other day. I freaked out! Like y'all, I was doing everything. My dr told me to stop looking at the scale and check how my clothes fit. Like I can not weigh! Lol. But, I know I've been doing it right and when I weighed yesterday, I dropped 3 lbs. Just keep on keeping on. It will drop over night. If you're tracking everything, you can call or email your NUT to make sure all is well. Make sure, if you are at a stage to eat, that you are eating something so your body doesn't think you are starving. I'm eating about 2 oz every 3-4 hrs per my surgeon and NUT.

Just keep on keepin on chick!!!

Hi ladies, Im here in Hot lanta! I was sleeved on May 7! Dekalb medical center..my sw was 271 my cw is 247! This is definitely a journey, my main problem is exercising! With the food it is what it is, you can eat, but only a little bit! I have opened my options to some real cool meals! They have wonderful options on Pinterest! I did the sleeve surgery to get healthy, but this exercising..oh lawd!! Help please????

Ok, call me bad, but I hate the purée stage, and I did not do it! I found myself eating soft foods and making it mushy! I haven't had any problems so far! I get my Protein in from eggs, tuna, chicken in the can type of stuff! I have been eating fresh fruit! I bought the unflavored Protein Powder and sprinkle it on my food and the weight is still coming off! I just feel tired easily and it makes it hard to exercise! I was sleeved on May 7, sw was 271, cw is 247! That's how I know it's different strokes for different folks!
