@@kayla1990 I am 3 weeks out today and am down 14 lbs. Do not stress yourself out!!!!

@@Krystal84 is the group your talking about on Facebook??

So I had RNY on Monday June 30th. Came home yesterday the 2nd around 11 am. Overall I feel really really good. My surgery day weight was 228 and my HW was 242 the doctor was so impressed with how much I lost but did joke and day "you didn't leave me with much room to work in there!" A couple of times I have felt light headed and I actually haven't had a BM since Saturday so I just took milk of magnesia to hopefully get that process going. Anyone else have the same post op issue with BM's?

I will officially be a post op junie today!

Well here I am at 3:12 am. I can't sleep for anything!! Have to be at the hospital at 7:50 surgery is scheduled for 11:50. Made it through my 3 day preop liquid diet with ease now I'm just waiting to be on the losers bench!

I figured as much! I'm chewing the life out of sugar free gum and I am going to make ice cubes out of juice to get flavor and the crunch..

Today I started day 1 of 3 on Clear Liquids before surgery Monday... It's 1:40 p.m. and I want to gnaw my arm off! I am SO hungry...but I can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@Ariellestarr I have to start a 3 day clear liquid diet on Friday the 27th and I was required by my insurance to lose 5% of my body weight

@@jtickle you got this! You've done such an amazing job thus far and they will see that!

@@Ariellestarr you're doing the lap band? I am having gastric bypass. Goodluck to you!!

@@Ariellestarr I'm June 30th as well!!

Can you all believe I started this thread on March 26th...and here we all are, sharing our stories, getting to "know" each other...on this journey together! It's so amazing.... If anyone would like to share phone numbers to text message each other, I am game for this..Sometimes we are not always able to check this/keep up with it and honestly I know I need all the support I can get! It's like a 2014 PenPal

@@Ginger Snaps I am so glad you are doing so much better - very good to hear! When you say "nothing like starvation..." do you really feel starved? I am SO nervous that I am going to just be so hungry and miserable @ 22 lbs! Go you!!! You got this.

@@Writerjennifer LOL I love how you ended your post with "Are we all ready to rock this sh*t?" ROCK ON SISTA!

@@cutiepieinchi Oh NO!! I am so sorry you've had a bit of a difficult time. I truly believe that God gives His toughest battles to His strongest soliders. You will pull through and still have faith that this is the best decision you have made for the BEGINNING of the rest of your life!

@@Ginger Snaps How are you doing today? Are you still back in the hospital?

@@mtibodo2 You definitely have to keep us updated!! Congratulations for being on the other side of things now. Any advice/tips/ANYTHING you can give us will be greatly appreciated! Also - anyone who is a reader, I am reading "Skinny Jeans.....At Last!" Secrets to long term weight loss surgery success and it is pretty good!

I had pre-op bloodwork done yesterday the 16th and have my pre-admission screening tomorrow! I met my weight loss requirement and exceeded it by 2 lbs by losing 15 instead of 13! I am so ready...I start my 3 day clear liquid diet on the 27th and go in on the 30th!

Going in for my pre-surgery endoscopy this morning at 8:30. This whole journey is happening so fast - so exciting!!

@@Loveskinnyme thanks so much for the recipes!! and congrats on your amazing loss on the liquid diet!

@@NieMarie @@madisonstarr I am June 30th as well!! @@Loveskinnyme i unfortunately do not have Facebook - decided against it about a year ago haha but I do hope we all stay close in the Post Op thread...i cannot believe how I started this back in March and have grown to "meet" all of you Junies! I love it. @@chrisflowers I hope your pain is better!!! I do however have a suggestion if anyone would like to take me up on it! sometimes (unless it is just me)i feel it's easy to get lost in these threads with all the responses we have..going back to read them all and then trying to "mention" everyone we want to...If anyone would like to exchange email addresses I would love to!!! mine is mcjp489@yahoo.com - feel free to email me anytime and we can bring back old school "pen pals" haha

@@Stacyann81 you can do it!!!!! Anytime you got a hunger pang just take a nice big chug! And all while you're doing it you'll be getting a tan and just think that is the last time you'll ever be a "big girl" on the beach!!!!!

@@Loveskinnyme that is awful!!!!!!! Luckily you don't have to have another one.

@@MillyMollyMandy welcome!! Keep us updated!!

Hi everyone!!! SO happy to see we have established such a great group of people on this thread!!! June will be here in 2 days - can you believe it?? Our lives are going to be changing drastically THIS MONTH. How exciting!!!! Today I have a pre-op appointment for my Endoscopy which is scheduled June 6th. *Did anyone else have an endoscopy pre-op? June 9th I have my one and only meeting with the nutritionist. I have until June 13th to knock off my last 3 lbs required by insurance. I CAN DO IT! On my home scale I weighed in at 228.6 this morning. Typically I have noticed I weigh about 2 lbs more at the doctors. *Anyone else see this? June 16th I have bloodwork. and June 30th is THE day! AHHHHH I look forward to having everyone update as they get closer, right up until the minute we go in, and every day afterwards! We all need to support each other and reading everyone's stories has been so comforting - we are NOT alone on this journey.
