  1. Hi guys first day post op in hospital. In addition to the bypass, I had a hiatal hernia repair. My surgeon said it was the largest one he's done. That said, having quite a bit of referred pain in my cheat, neck, shoulder and back. Been up walking since shortly after getting to my room last night. Am running low grade fever, which as a nurse, I realize is normal at times but sure amazes me feel yucky! Thanks for everyone's support! My hubby is 4 weeks post op so he has all types of protein concoctions etcetera for me!
  2. Thank you so much for your support!!

  4. I am scheduled for my RNY tomorrow. My husband had RNY on 10/22/14 and he has had great success and has adapted well to the diet and excercise/lifestyle change thus far. Together, we've gone through the program work since May to prepare for this life saving intervention! The medical, nutritional and psycho/social support system that our program provides has been wonderful. The team is really our cheerleaders and are wonderful and caring people. I didn't come to this decision easy, I've felt the self-imposed guilt and burden, I battle that hateful voice inside my head that keeps singing it's same old mantra.."I am a failure because I cannot lose weight. This is the easy way....people are going to judge me. You are STILL going to fail...even after all of this...you will still fail" I have been sucessful in everyother aspect of my life, but this is the one thing that has eluded me...that has defeated me. After much counseling and work, I'm ready. I now have the tools to face this demon called obesity. Today, I am on Clear Liquids only in preparation for tomorrow, I'm physically prepared but despite my best efforts to educate myself and mentally prepare, I'm finding myself very anxious. I'm trying to keep busy, getting my "house" in order, doing laundry, all of the other things one does on the weekend. I am thankful that I have found this forum...somewhere to share my fears, successes, and even failures with people who will understand and not judge.
