Hello. How did you make out with your surgery. How are you feeling ?Are you on liquid diet ? Yes how did it go? I hope well. Hello. How did you make out with your surgery. How are you feeling ?Are you on liquid diet ? Hi @@Salonboi & @@nancynew! I apologize for the late reply. I'm doing great!! I'm so thankful to report that my surgery was a total breeze. My surgeon said it was "textbook" and that I was 12 hours ahead of most during my recovery in the hospital. Eating is a completely different experience post-op. Learning how to eat and how much has been interesting, painful at times, but not too bad. So far I've only lost 10 lbs since surgery, but I had lost 34 prior to surgery. I'm headed back to the gym this week, so hopefully that will supercharge my system into more weight loss! I hope you are both doing well and adjusting to your new way of life. Hey laurenjane. So glad all has worked out for you. Keep posting your progress. 10lbs down is great. Any weight lost is a positive. Good luck at the gym. My surgery was may 5, I'm hoping to get the gym by next week. Thank you !

In one week on Tuesday I start introducing solid foods. Makes me nervous. I'm seeking suggestions on what foods would be good to start with. Please let me what worked or didn't work for anyone out there.

Hello and welcome to the May thread, it is a great thread full of supportive people. No matter what your question , someone offers help without the negative. Wishing the best for you and your husband. Be sure to share what's going on with the two of you ????

As long as you tolerate, and only small amounts , I don't see why not. I am thinking my lack of energy is due to not enough carbs. Gonna try some mashed potatoes for dinner.

I say good for you for knowing you need a little help and getting the help you need. ????

Weighed myself this morning. ( I weigh every Tuesday morning ) I lost 6 lbs this week. Down a total of 28 pounds from my highest weight. Continue to have no energy. Struggling to get food , water , and protein in. Other then that , all is ok.

I can def see your progress! I see a change in your face, as I do in my own, it's amazing how fast some of this occurs! I am breathing far better today, and guessing I am on the other side of this. Hoping that I will def be able to add some mushy/mashable food starting Thursday, 3 weeks is long enough. Still having periods of exhaustion, though I too have been back at work on my feet all day ????. Still Struggling to get more then 4 days a week of additional walking in. I'm so glad you are breathing better.. How scary this must have been!!! Keep using your spirometer thingy and take care of yourself ok!!!❤️???? I definitely put my A$$ in action today, and worked out... I'm proud I did it ???? Hey salonboi. Great pics. Can see the difference. It is amazing how quickly see results.

I am day 3 into my pre-op diet and feel so drained! I have 4 kids and zero energy. Not a good combination...No energy and 4 kids , oh my. That's a challenge. How is the Oreos diet going.

Hello. 2 weeks liquids is difficult , I found the first 3 days tough , then not too bad. You can do it , good luck.

It's weird I feel "okay" but just drained of all energy lolStinks to not have any energy.

My goodness , my energy level is in the toilet. Uh , my feet and legs feel like cement blocks are attached.

I didn't want anyone to know I was having RNY surgery. Didn't want any negative comments. And frankly , not anyone's business. My husband of course was aware and on board. I have two sons ( grown, don't live with me ) I told them but waited until just 2 days before surgery. I thought in case anything "happened" they should know. So anyway, long story short ...... My sister in law (husbands sister) stops by yesterday and as we are talking she informs me that she went to an informational seminar for gastric bypass surgery. And what did I think about surgery for weight loss. Hahahaha My husband and I look at each other , and I came clean with her. She was so happy to know that she now knows someone who has gone through the process and can be a weight loss buddy. She is just starting her journey , her surgery most likely will be sometime in Sept. I made her swear to keep her mouth closed with other family and friends. She will because she also wants it to be kept hush hush. Never expected that conversation when she came to visit.

Wish I could say the same. Having a hard time getting protein and fluids in. If just protein or just fluids , I can do it. But both is difficult. Your doing well with your weight lose. Feels so good to know the weight is coming off. you just have to stay vigilant on taking drinks every five mins. Use a timer on your phone. This is what I am doing. It was hard at first.Yeah I am staying on top of it, sips and sips. Not impossible just difficult. We are all in the same boat.

Holy cow. Good thing you went and got checked out. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Wow. That's great. I'm sure you feel amazing.

So Good to hear! I, on the other hand, just called my Doc's office. I woke up with pain under my mid left rib cage when I take deep breaths. It has gotten a little worse, hurts pretty severe when I sneeze or cough. They told me to take some pain meds, in case it is swelling associated with the surgery and they want me to be seen tomorrow. I hope it has nothing to do with that damn inspirometer. I was rather lazy about breathing into it after about day 3????. I really don't feel like I have congestion or pneumonia, though. We shall see. Hello savorysweet, how did you make out at doctors. Nothing too serious I hope. The pain at the rib cage, did doctor have any idea of what's going on.Thanks for checking on me. They sent me for a chest X-ray then read that and told me to go to hospital for CAT scan and some other test. So now we are playing the waiting game.Let me know how you make out. Curious ... Hope it's nothing ????

Hooray !!! Jenn that's awesome. It feels so good to see the scale go down, after struggling with weight for so long.

Feeling pretty good today. 15 days out.

I'm just using Pinterest and Google searches as my cookbook. Good luck finding one.Yes , I'm finding Pinterest to be very helpful. If I do come across a good book I will share. The thing I do t like about most cookbooks is too many ingredients for recipe. Do you know what I mean? If I see a recipe and there are more then maybe 5 or 6 ingredients I lose interest in the recipe.

This is an AMAZING thread. Keep posting. I am noticing a lot of comments with incisions itching. Me too ! That's a sign of healing , so I'm told.

The world according to eggface This is a web site, has a lot of great bariatric info, check it out. Just sharing.

Hello and welcomeFor sure liquid gets old real fast. Hang in , soft puréed phase will be here before ya know it. ???? Congrats on your surgery , being off pain meds and mostly losing weight. Keep posting !
