I have lost 37#s since my surgery on 12/20/13. I am feeling great, have had no dumping at all. I have pretty much stuck to my 2 week post surgery diet, i did have a scrambled egg & 1 piece of toast this morning and had no problem eating it & I felt full after I ate!!! I meet with my Surgeon on Monday for my 2 week appt. Hope everyone had a great New Year!

Everything is fine now, I havnt had anymore sign's of blood since the 2nd day after surgery. Thanks for your concernes!

Thank you for the info. My doctor actually called me yesterday(Sunday) to check on me! He told me to wait a couple of days and if it still was red to come back in but this morning all was well and normall!!!'n

It is blood red and no it does not look like coffee grounds. It has me worried!

I am three days out of surgery and all of my poop has blood in it! I called my Doctor and he told me to wait a few more days and if it has not gotten any better to come back and see him. Has anyone else had this problem?

Anyone have blood on their stool?

Buff I tell you I feel awesome. I hope yours goes as smooth as mine went. I am battling gas and still a little left side pain but other than that I am loving the new me

I'm having mine tomorrow. How you doing Bobby?

Glad everyone made it ok. I'm having mine on the 19th! What was your diet for the day before surgery?

Glad u made it ok Bobby! Im on day 7 of my two week pre diet and I'm doing pretty good on it. C'mon December people lets all do this together and get healthy!!!!

Good luck Bobby, I'll be thinking about and hope everything goes good.

Good luck Andrew.

My Dr. Put me on Carnation Breakfast Essentials (sugar free) for my two week pre-op diet. 5 a day mixed with Water except the one befor bed is with skim milk. They are not very tasty at all but I am now on day 6 and I seem to be doing ok.

I'm on day 4 of my pre-op RNY diet and my headaches finally went away! I am on carnation instant Breakfast (no sugar added) 5 shakes a day all mixed with Water except for the last one which I mix with skim milk! I can also have SF Jello & popsickles.

Well again good luck and lets keep each other posted on our progress. Nice talking to you.

I am having the RNY also. Both my Dr. And surgeon agreed it would be best for getting off of insulin.

Are you having gastric sleeve or RNY?

Are you having gastric sleeve or RNY?

I am on 3rd day of pre-op diet and am having killer headaches but they say it get better on day 4!!!

I agree. I am not having any 2nd thoughts at all! I am also type 2 diabetic and am going to try and get off of insulin and alot of meds.

I'm having mine on the 19th Bobby. The two week pre-op diet is hard on me but am sticking to it! Good luck.

I just found this forum. I am having my gastric Dec 11. I am so excited. I started out at 462 and since I started this 4 months ago I am down to 408. It sounds like the 2 weeks after is hard but everyone seems to say it gets better.

I started my two week diet yesterday(on my birthday) and will have my surgery December 19th! I have had no doubts at all! When you can't put your shoes on or quit breathing when I bend over it seems to wipe out any doubts that I have.
