Wish me luck

Had my surgery too. I also had a hernia repair while they were in there. First day I was npo the whole time except ice chips. I medicine cup every hour. I slept alot this day and didn't have much gas. Second day I could 2 medicine cups of liquid every hour and I was allowed broth and watered down apple juice. I mostly drank the juice and Water. Didn't have an appetite at all. Started to get gas this day. It hurt a bit. 3rd day I really have gas pains but I'm up and walking around as much as I can and was still allowed just 2 med cups an hour. Still didn't have an appetite. So now it's day 4 and the gas pains are minimal. I feel a little pressure each time I drink. I still don't k ow my fill point yet so I don't take in much at a time. Still don't have an appetite for any broth or anything like that but I have drank almost 11 ozs of my premir Protein Shake and almost 64ozs of water. Last thing I want is to get dehydrated. I got to walk around outside 2 times today then it started raining. But my room is upstairs so I've had to climb stairs and I walk around the house too. When I went into the hospital I weighed 351. When I left the hospital I weighed 358 from all the Fluid that they gave me. Today I weighed in at 345 whoopeee!!!!! I really don't want to eat any of the broths or anything the thought of it and the smell of it makes me nauseous. I do feel like I could eat other foods but I have to wait 2 weeks until I get to the doc to see what he says. So until then I guess I am stuck with water, juice, and Protein Shakes. How is everyone else doing that has had thier surgeries? Are our situations similar?? Hope you all are doing as well as I am!!

Having my surgery March 16th in Charlotte, nc!! Can't wait. I am on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and my pre-op is next week. They called today from the hospital to register me. It's starting to feel real now!! Getting super excited and a little nervous at the same time.

So i had my surgery on March 16th. I had a hiatal hernia repair while they were in there. First day I was npo the whole time except ice chips. 1 medicine cup every hour. I slept alot this day and didn't have much gas. My surgery took about 2 hours. Second day I could have 2 medicine cups of liquid every hour and I was allowed broth and watered down apple juice. I mostly drank the juice and Water. Didn't have an appetite at all. Started to get gas this day. It hurt a bit. 3rd day I really had gas pains and they hurt alot. In my chest and my back up between my shoulder blades, but I'm up and walking around as much as I can and was still allowed just 2 med cups an hour. Still didn't have an appetite. So now it's day 4 and the gas pains are minimal and i still haven't had a bm yet. I feel a little pressure each time I drink. I still don't know my fill point yet so I don't take in much at a time. Still don't have an appetite for any broth or anything like that but I have drank almost 11 ozs of my premir Protein Shake and almost 64ozs of water. Last thing I want is to get dehydrated. I got to walk around outside 2 times today then it started raining. But my room is upstairs so I've had to climb stairs and I walk around the house too. When I went into the hospital I weighed 351. When I left the hospital I weighed 358 from all the Fluid that they gave me. Today I weighed in at 345 whoopeee!!!!! I really don't want to eat any of the broths or anything the thought of it and the smell of it makes me nauseous. I do feel like I could eat other foods but I have to wait 2 weeks until I get to the doc to see what he says. For some reason I just feel like I could eat some green Beans and chicken lol. I guess something that has some texture to it since I have been doing liquid for so long. I'm hungry, just not for the foods that I am allowed to eat. I have meds that I have to take and I've had to crush them up with a little applesauce and I tell u what, that has been horrible!!!! Makes me want to throw up with this one med that I have to take because it's so big and it tastes like death!!! So until then I guess I am stuck with water, juice, and Protein Shakes. How is everyone else doing that has had thier surgeries? Are our situations similar?? Hope you all are doing as well as I am!!

Well I'm a new post op, little over a week, but I already have a NVS.. For the first time in 20 years, I'm under 300 pounds! I almost fainted when the scale read 286!

@@recordsmom, I am so sorry to hear you have a delay in your surgery. It is good news that they found this issue now though. I hope all goes well with your cath and things get back on track for you.
Once you get through this and then have your WLS, your diet will change and hopefully keep you from having further heart issues.
I will say a prayer that everything goes well and you get to move on with your surgery. Keep us posted!

I'm feeling ok. The gas pain is the worst. And also being scared that I won't get all my fluids in. I haven't been hungry at all. I've only had juice since I had surgery on Monday. Today I am going to try some Protein Shakes. The incisions don't hurt at all. I also had a hernia repaired that I didn't know I had. I will be glad when I can sleep on my sides. I've been forced to sleep on my back all the time. And I've had a terrible headache for some reason. Last night it woke me up a couple of times throbbing. The pain meds really help with any pain that I have and I'm tolerating liquids well with hardly and nausea at all. I had a little bit after surgery but not that much. I haven't thrown up at all. I do hate having to crush my meds to take them because boy are they awful!!! Now that does make me wanna throw up. But doc said only 2 weeks of that. I go for my first post op April 1st. So hopefully I will be moved to soft foods. Hope this helps a little.

@@Djmohr thanks so much for the info. It really helps alot. I have heard alot about gas lol so I hope it's not too bad. I will definitely walk as much as I can!! @@BetterMEsoon I know isn't it awesome!!! I'm about to try and get some sleep now. Good luck to u as well and we must keep in touch. I will update as much as I can tomorrow!

My surgery is march 16th as well!!! Can't wait!!! I'm in Charlotte, NC. I'm on day 6 of my liquid diet. It's getting easier.

I just had mine today!!!

I had my surgery yesterday and the nutritionist and surgeon told me premir Protein was a good choice

That does seem like a lot of mag so late. U might be on the potty all night. The pain isn't that bad so far. I've got my morphine and doing actually well. I'm pleasently surprised!!! I'm ready to get up and get moving. My throat isn't that sore my incisions aren't that sore, just a little sore on the inside a bit. I am only allowed a medicine cup of ice and hour and I'm tolerating that really well. I'm so happy!!! It's time for my new life now. Thank God for protecting me during surgery and also afterwards with minimal pain. Hope you guys are doing great!!

Saturday I hit my 7 month mark since my RNY surgery, and while at the gym, I had my trainer take my picture. I can honestly say that the last 7 months have been great, simply life changing. My diet has completely changed and I now go to the gym 4-5 times a week. I feel like a new person. So far I have lost 133 lbs. since surgery! I can't believe it.
I still have a bit of a ways to go, but I thank God everyday that I decided to start this lifestyle change last summer. I feel really blessed to have such a great support system in my family, friends, here, and at my gym.
I just wanted to take a few minutes to share my story. Thanks for reading!!!

Hope all went well for you today. Mine is tomorrow at 7:30, about 30 minutes away. My only pre-op was Clear Liquids today and whole bottle of Magnesium Citrate at 5:00 pm. I'm a little scared of that, seems like an awful lot so late in the day. Oh well.

Good look! My surgery is March 19 im so nervous but ready to get it over with I hope the pain is not that bad when I wake up either please let me know how it feels

I am also in the home stretch. We have to be at the hospital at 6am tomorrow. Thankfully our drive is only 45 minutes. I can't imagine 3 hours! Good luck to you and I'm glad we can recover together!

I remember being as excited as you are describing, honestly the thing that is the most painful is the gas they pump in your tummy. Just walk a lot and sip your fluids. You will do great.
The first hour after I woke up I was a little uncomfortable but they were quick to get my pain under control. The first night can be a little rough in terms of getting rest. Again, the gas from your tummy. My nurses brought me lots of hot packs for my tummy and that really helped.
Also I found getting out of the bed and sitting in a chair was definately more comfortable. Walk as much as you can and the gas will be gone before you know it.
I wish you a very speedy recovery and a very healthy future!

So I am super excited that my surgery is tomorrow!!! I went to church this morning, took a nap when I got hime (trying to pass the time away) and I'm going to church tonight so when I get home it will be time to go to bed, if I can sleep. I have a 5 year old daughter that will be staying with my sister while I'm gone. She understands that I'm having surgery to lose weight. I've tried to let her know I will be gone 3 days.
But on to my nerves. I'm getting a little nervous. I got all my cleaning and laundry done so I won't have to worry about that. I laying out my daughters clothes for my sister so she won't have to worry about that. And my mom is going with me, which makes me feel a little better.
I leave here in the morning at 6 am cause it takes about 3 hours to get to where I am having surgery, charlotte, nc. I have to be there at 9 for them to get me ready, and my surgery is scheduled for 11am. Doc said it would take about an hour and a half. I'm so nervous as to how I'm going to feel when I wake up tomorrow!!!! I hope it doesn't hurt too bad.
But what about you other guys that are having surgery tomorrow?? Are yall as nervous and ready as I am?? YAY!!!!! this is it!! The rest of my life is depending on my success. Can't wait to start this new journey and path in my life!!!!

Mine is for 8:39, have to be there by 6:30am. It takes about 1 hr to get to nyc from NJ. So nervous!!!

Mine is March 16th!!! So excited and yes the days are dragging by!!!

I am doing good.. Have lost 7 pounds but not required to follow liquid diet. My doctor just requires high Protein and low carb. Clear Liquids the day before surgery. Can't believe we are so close!!!!!

So I get to visit anesthesia and my doctor for my pre-op appt this Friday 3/13!!!! So excited then my surgery is 3/16. I have a very busy week ahead of me. Still hanging on to my liquid diet that I'm required to do. Learning new foods that I can eat in between the Protein Shakes. I drink the premir Protein. 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar in 11 ozs. Can't beat it. My favorite is the chocolate. I think the vanilla is a little on the sweet side. How is everyone else doing? Our surgery dates are getting closer!! 6 more days to go for me!!! What about yall?? How are things going? Your diets getting any easier and are u losing any weight. I've lost 14 pounds but I have stopped from there. Guess I need to get a little more active!!
