I have issues with it too and have been having little bites of food, like chilli and soup. I think if we Keep it small and well chewed it's better than not eating.

I had my surgery on the same day. I notice small changes each day. Belly not as swollen and my headache is gone. Sad to say I haven't had a shower yet either, but I will tomorrow. Still like water but most sugar free is so chemical tasting, I would rather not eat it. I will have to see what type bothers me the most. Hang in there.

I was asking my surgeon just before surgery if everyone wanted to jump off the table and run. I too was frightened about changing my anatomy. I considered that even the negative consequences I was already suffering with and if I could limit the amount of food I wanted would be worth it and be the right choice for me. Only you know the right answer.

Yes it's all behind me and I went home without pain medication. Just a bit of pain moving to lie on my sides. I felt more nausea than pain but the nurses were great. I am better every day and the scale is going down pretty fast. :-)

I had surgery on Thursday. It is frightening. I have had surgery before but forgot the process. My pain was minimal but you will be uncomfortable. I know I had second thoughts up to the time of surgery. Hang in there as I am sure both of us will be very happy about it soon.

My surgery was 12/26/13. Doing well but I have felt when food either enters or leaves my pouch. I feel a pinching burning pain for a second and then it's gone. Anyone else?

My diet says it's ok.

My second day of preop diet, my dad was in cardiac icu. I wasn't able to lose all the weight my dr wanted but it didn't effect the surgery. Just getting back on track is important.

Yes I have this too 3 days out. It's the air they pumped into you, However I have been able to burp and now fart....feeling better. Lol.

Don't get freaked out as it will go by quickly. 4 days out now.

So many people focus on size and not health. The only thing is to remind why you got it done or quickly change the subject.

My surgery is tomorrow. I am very nervous now.

I hear you. I have been on the liquid diet and can't shake my headache. No fun!

Hi, I am new. I will be having RNY surgery in two days. Starting to get nervous. This looks to be a great site. Glad I found it.
