Hey Everybody!!! I had RNY on 06-29-15. Charlotte, North Carolina SW:388 DOS: 379 CW:334 GW:215-220

Hey Yall!! I'm glad that everyone is doing well. I am doing great. I have lost 51lbs since surgery.

I'm 25... But I had my surgery when I was 24 years old. To be honest I spent my 25 birthday recovering from surgery. I would love to be in the blog group on FB. I am not sure how to send a personal message with my e-mail address. Could someone help me. Thanks!

Have you chose your surgeon yet?

That's who I went through as well. What procedure are you having done?

Are you going through carolinas weight management?

I had some numbness in my right thigh on the upper side. Once I went in for my post-op 2wk visit I brought it up to my surgeon and he said that mine came from the way I placed on the table as well as being in that position for a long time. He said that in due time that it would subside. It has gotten better.. Thank God!!

I went out to eat tonight for the first time since surgery. I was in the car saying what I was going to order and how good it was going to be. Well... It was a totally different story once I got there. I ended up eating salad a tiny piece of bread and I ordered some shrimp( grilled) and I only ate one. It was horrible!!! At one point in my life Olive Garden was great, but now... Eww!! My aunt said I hate you cant eat.. I'm saying to myself thank god I can't because literally I would have ate a whole plate of Shrimp Scampi and a salad, and a possibility of a dessert...

Make sure that you are getting all your fluids in. Dehydration can cause you to have a rapid heart rate. This happened to me as well and I had to get some pedialyte

Oh... Yes ma'am your hormones are getting back regulated. I had my period a week after surgery which was five days and done. It was somewhat regular before that, but I had to take birth control to regulate my period. My doctor said that my hormones were off balance due to my weight.

You can do it be strong!! It is a sacrifice, but it's for the better. Stay strong I'm rooting for you.

I had my surgery at the age of 24 so I spent my 25th birthday recovering from surgery. It gets easier, but it is truly a process.

Make sure that you are chewing your food good until it's liquid form. It will come as you go along in the process. I have threw up two or three times and believe me it's nothing that anyone wants to go threw. It's miserable it takes along of energy from you. I hope you feel better.

I stayed in the hospital for a day. I could have went back to work within two weeks, but I have chosen to stay out the entire six weeks. I have good and bad days. This is my first major surgery so I wasn't sure what to expect. I had my mom and sister home with me for the first week for some additional help which was necessary. They were life savers

I hope that everyone is doing well this far. For all the June 29th people it's our one month anniversary!! Yay!!
