Hello neighbour!! Im in ft.mc murray....9 days post op rny....went to Mexico as been waiting 4 yrs in BC. I cant believe its done. How r you doing on your journey? Hope to hear from you soon!!

Check out diet meal plans from playstore...do your research...again up to you to do as you please and what your dr suggests..pls stop bullying and trying to disqualifying my knowledge, education, priffessionalism and the yrs of research i did bf i had my op...its obvious many of you have not sekf researched and are counting on one person...so if u didnt want others suggestions or opinions why did you post for help?

You are experiencing the gas they fill your abd cavity with for the operation..itll last 3??weeks? Walking helps...i was more energetic in the first few weeks than i am now at 12 weeks..being in Mexico helped! Location and weather makes a big difference....but walking really helps!! Dont worry about the drain...lol..Nooo it dosnt hurt. As for diarrhea I never experienced that at all...so wondering if its something in your shakes? Dont worry getting the Protein and Water in is pretty much impossible...but do your best! Watch for dehydration signs...dry skin...to headaches....As for eating normal...lol...remember this is a change in lifestyle...i had rny too..and im glad i will never ...hopefully..to be able to eat like I did pre surgery...so far down 53 lbs...its a struggle to get 65g protein in or 64 oz of water..im sure if i could get all that Water in id have lost more...lol.... but slow is good! Congrats on your surgery...get up and walk and do what you can for eating and drinking...remember diarrhea causes dehydration so need to drink more...if you r experiencing alot disvuss with doctor...im sure more of us got constipated lol bc lack of Fiber and nutrients the first few weeks..so diarrhea may be better? Loltrying to be optimistic...and yes your body may switch to Constipation soon...so important to monitor your bowel movements

I have been wondering too...but hey Ive never been a bride or a bridesmaid so its ...esp after losing alot of weight...its going to be a big boost ...and hot damn shell look great in that dress! Also remember everyone her FRIEND did ask her when she was at a heavier weight...soo weight issues are not a factor for her to be included as a bridesmaid...

Hi..i think i finally figured out this site....First wow and ty for reading my post. My name is Yvette...Im at the most weight ever in my life..ive been trying for yrs to get surgery ..ive recently been on a 5yr waitlist..but now we can afford to pay for it... im po'd some dr just putting things off meanwhile Im 42 and feel im losing "a life" of adventure and fun good health and much happiness. Like the first 39 yrs were traumatized enough... Hey dr..I want to get married...been 18 yrs with my spouse...god knows im lucky to have him be so caring an supportive all these yrs. I want to work and feel that my weight has squashed my hooes if a career. I have a ton of education and cant seem to get a job and when i did have been bullied ir re traumatized at work... i trust no one...so this us a huge step.... but im at that point of discouragement...never have been suicidal..but ill take my chances at a foreign hospital and drs and staff so that i can take back my life...enjoy baseball...skiing...hiking...travelling..oh hey since ill never be a 25 yr old fatish bride...how about a 43 yr od healthy and skinnish bride...I Deseve It!!
Ohhh details...lol so i leave on Tuesday from Northern Alberta Canada...fly to San Diego where driver will pick me up..take me to the hotel...next day at hospital for tests and surgery....stay in hosp for 3 or 4 days then hotel for the night or i stay extra night and fly home April 2nd Almost have everything prepared to leave and prepared vitamix Soups for when i get home...Is anyone on this site familiar with Ready4aChange...the Florence Hospital ..or Dr. F. Garcia...or perhaps you will be there during same time ad me???
