I also had RNY Tuesday, July 8, 2014. I'm home. Yesterday I got in 54 ounces of fluid which included some chicken broth and two proteins shakes. Pain seems to be minimal as I haven't had to take any pain meds in the last 24 hours. I do feel hungry which I thought I wouldn't. And unfortunately I haven't lost even 1 ounce. I did walk 15 minutes today so I feel good about that just on the back patio.

Casey999, Had RNY Tuesday July 8, 2014 post -op day 4. Much better day today! I slept well, had a shower, and had my first protein shake and it was pretty good, a bit sweet but palatable! Even water is going down easier today! Thanks for your support how are you today?

Roux-en-y gastric bypass

Kayla1990. I am post-op day 5. I'm not really hungry as such but I am dreaming like mad of food. I start protein shakes tomorrow and I am hoping that will help. No weight loss yet. Just following the rules and biding my time. Good luck

My third day post-op RNY . I am doing well I think. I've had nothing but Clear liquids. Tomorrow I will begin with full liquid ,,,I'm. Not to keen about not meals in a can or Protein shakes. I took you all advice about what brand was most well liked. I'm still have pain but way lees than on surgery days? Thank

I am on post-o day two. Much more pain then I was prepared. Sipping and walking. Thanks

2AM. Just got done walking, used incentive spirometers now siting in the chair! My surgery yesterday. Surgery was less than 3 hours, also had my gallbladder out. Minimal pain and walking really helps. I'm so glad that I had this procedure to get healthy, fit and positive!

I had my RNY this morning at 9:30. I was in the recovery room by 1130. Not as much pain as I expected, now to take a nap hopefully. Not a lot of pain four on a scale of 0 to 10 nurses are great here! Thanks for the support

Am new having surgery RNY tomorrow. Is it proper to discuss how much weight you have lost on this forum? Doesn't seem like folks talk about it. Any body want to give me a guesstimate about what I might be looking to lose in the first 8 weeks?

Thank you

Thanks for the input guys.

Chelly, thanks for the support! I do like to cook but that will come later!

Thanks so much Chelly, I'm so excited for tomorrow but also anxious! Keep me in your prayers and I will update after the surgery.

Please email me also duffydionne@comcast.net. Thanks.

I'm having my gastric to bypass tomorrow. I was just reading my nutritionist notebooks and thinking about the protein shakes when I get home. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good one that is palatable and lots of protein? I have never been big on meal supplement shakes like carnation instant breakfast or slim fast hard, for me to drink. Would like some information thanks!

I live in Westminster Colorado. I will be having my Roux-en-Y surgery July 8 Tuesday at St. Joseph's Hospital. I would love to have a support group in the north area. If you could let me know. Also I'm very interested in Facebook private please give me details.

I am a 61 year old woman who works full time as a RN director of an emergency dept. I will be having surgery this Tuesday. I am the grandmother of a baby boy who's going to turn one in August and 13-year-old girl who I met when she was nine. I'm looking forward to this as I weigh 336 pounds and I would like to get down 150 lbs. I have not been heavy all of my life but since my children were born the last one born 26 years. Anybody have tips or hints for me. I would really appreciate anything. Look forward to getting support from you all and also giving some support if I can. Thank you. Keep your fingers crossed for me at 9:30 and Tuesday, July 8 Mountain standard time. Prayers welcome too!

My my roux-en-y surgery is scheduled for July 8 any hints or tips from anybody. I'm an RN so I know most of the pros and cons . I am entering this whole thing with a positive attitude.
