We are planning to do measurements tomorrow. I put on a pair of sandals today that would not Velcro around my ankle before surgery! Amazing what losing 16 pounds will do!

I had RNY and that's 16 pounds since surgery on September 8. I did not have a required liquid diet pre op.

One week post op appointment today-down 16 pounds! Everything looks good!

Flintstone Complete chewable has everything you need. I was told to take two daily. Can be taken at the same time.

I am in the Dayton area

I was released on Friday afternoon and I have made several trips up and down my stairs, slept with my head slightly propped and only ever feel horrible pain when trying to get out of a chair, off a couch or the side of the bed that is too tall.
I had a c-section in 2003 and would never compare the two. The c-section by far was harder to recover from and kept me from resuming normal activities.
And I'm a wuss. I do not tolerate pain well, my first night in the hospital I cursed myself for even going through with surgery and yet today I feel almost better than I did before surgery.

I didn't have too many issues post-surgery. I normally fall asleep on my side, and I definitely couldn't do that my first night home. I had to try and fall asleep lying flat on my bed. I woke up several times throughout the first night as well to use the bathroom, I'm guessing to flush out the Water weight I had gained while in the hospital. Then I had some anxiety trying to fall asleep on my back again. I think on the second or third night I was fine sleeping on my side although I think the idea of having pillows on your sides to keep you from rolling is probably a good one. One night I woke up completely turned over on my stomach, and that certainly didn't feel good at all! Ha ha!

Woohoo! I finally had a BM! Not much but like others I haven't had much intake so no surprise it was little and took awhile????

Hey everyone! I have had a weight issue my entire life. I've tried so many diets and nothing worked for an extended period of time. My health was deteriorating and I needed to do something serious.
My RNY surgery was October, 2013 and it's the best thing I could have done for myself! I topped the scale at 409 pounds and I'm only 4'11". I had diabetes that was out of control, walked with a cane, had already had one knee surgery, and had a pinched nerve in my back and needed to take 800 mg of Motrin every night to even sleep. I also had reflux, which my surgeon fixed during surgery. It was caused by a hiatel (sp?) hernia. I had no life. I sat in the chair after work and needed help from my chocolate lab every time I needed to get up. I'd wrap my arms around her neck and she'd back up and help mama up. I was 45 and wasn't living.
At my 2 week appointment after surgery, I was down 30 pounds. I've had an incredible support team between my husband, my family and my co-workers. It's been an incredible journey. I can do so many things now and am so grateful to my surgeon. I'm still losing now, but very slowly. My goal is 140 pounds. Almost there! Im down a total today of 261 pounds. ????.
I do not eat bread of any kind, no Pasta, potatoes, fried food, sugar or soda. I eat fruit, veggies, Protein and will treat myself with sugar free candies when I want something sweet. I'm very strict with myself. My dad used to tell me, "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!" I lost my dad in January but I know he's cheering me on.
I'm now off all my diabetes medication, all my reflux medicine and just on a Water pill and thyroid pill (plus all the daily vitamins). That's ok! I'll do vitamins!
I hope I can help someone. Thanks for reading. ????
A current picture is below. It was taken at 150 and I'm now at 148. ????
