My NUT says to drink 1 protein shake a day for the 1st year.

Started in a size 22 pants, 3XL shirts. I am 6 months out and in a size 10-12 pants (depending on brand) and size LG shirts.

Yes, per my dr's directions. He was afraid it would drop my sugar too low.

I had 2 drainage tubes one on each side. They were removed before I left hospital. The longest one hurt when they removed it but the other was not painful at all.

The only one I can tolerate is Premier Protein Chocolate.

It's the 2nd Monday of every month. It's past the cafeteria, they usually have a sign and you will see the table to sign in at.

Lol no problem at all. My husband had it also and it almost a year post op so if I can't answer a question he may be able too. Hope to see you tomorrow night.

Congrats!! I'm very excited for you. I live in Broken Arrow, OK and had my surgery at Bailey 9/30/14. Hope to see you at the support group meetings, they are wonderful.

I am 12 wks post op and before surgery I suffered from diarrhea predominant IBS. However, since surgery I have not had any problem (so far). I'm not on any medication for IBS any longer.

My surgeon told me when I could begin to exercise.

I had severe pain on my left side when I was about 4 wks out, it lasted about a week then one day disappeared and hasn't came back. My surgeon said it was normal.

I was given pain meds in pill form and could take them 3-4 after surgery no problem.

My NUT says 60-80 grams of protein a day.

I'm only 5 weeks post op but yea hemorrhoid a are awful. My dr said to use miralax, I'm starting to try that now.

I am 5 weeks post op also and doing the same thing. I can't find any protein shakes I like. I just try to eat and drink little more each day.

I thought I would feel great immediately after surgery... I was wrong, I am 5 weeks post op and I'm still tired. It's still hard for me to get my fluids in. I'm starting to get energy back this week. Hang in there, it will get better.

Thanks, my paperwork says 8 was but my NUT said a lot of people try it at 4 weeks and do fine.

When did everyone try chicken after surgery?

My bariatric support group has a clothing exchange so I'm doing that and will be going to thrift stores also.

I have also found some on Pinterest.

I had never had afib but after RNY my heart rate went up to 188, very scary. After several tests and another surgery to verify no leak, my doctors found a blood clot on my lung(pulmonary embolism). I am now on a blood thinner.

My throat only hurt for a few hours. My dr was checking for anything that looked abnormal so he knew before surgery what was there. I ended up having reflux.

Well, my actual RNY was a success but I am still currently in the hospital. After surgery my blood pressure and heart rate went very high. After several test and another surgery to verify there was not a leak it was determined I have a small blood clot in my lung. I am on blood thinners and the doctors are very confident the clot will b absorbed back into y body. So I am hoping to get to go home within the nxt few days.

Just gone done with pre-op, I have to be at the hospital at 10:30 tomorrow morning, so excited!!

Good luck flagirlintx, I'll be praying for you. I have my pre-op this morning. Ready for surgery tomorrow!!
