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!!

I had a small Apple Monday. I did not finish the whole thing. I could not eat the skin. It taste funny to me.

We have.... I know that before I had surgery I never looked at a label. Now I am very cautious as to what I put in my body. I'm looking at everything. My friend goes do you have to look at everything I said yes. This isn't a quick fix, but a lifestyle change. The woman I am today and the woman I was four weeks ago are two different people and I'm not looking back in simply pushing forward. I said I feel great although I have bad days. But no pain no gain. My body knows when I have had enough. Either I'll know or my body will tell me which means I'll throw it up. Four weeks ago I did not have portion control. I was just eating to be eating. Not Cool!! I look at things so much different now. I always had a hard time loosing weight. The most I have ever lost was 40lbs with the help of an detox, but as soon as it was completed I was back at square one. I have been over weight all my life, but I mm looking forward to becoming a healthier me.

Is everybody on a regular diet now?

. So how are you doing? I am doing well just taking it one day at a time. There are somedays that are harder than others, but I continue the fight. I have not had any trouble tolerating any foods, but I have ate too fast a few times which is a no no. I have not experienced any type of dumping since surgery. Thank God!! It's a learning process and you learn as you go. I have been advanced to a regular diet as of today. I probably will still stick to some of the soft diet foods for another week or so. I had salad for the first time last night and it went really well. I have days where I don't want to eat or drink anything, but I know that I can't do that. So on those days I'll have a Protein shake. Then as the day progresses I'll try some food. I have to say that each week gets better. The most important part for you is remember to stay hydrated.... You do not want to end back in the hospital.

I had RNY also I'll be four weeks out tomorrow.

Congrats!! You'll be fine. What procedure are you having done?

I had my period the second week I came home. It was like normal.. Five days and done.

You look great!! Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see my progress being that I'm only 3 wks out.

My surgeon only has me taking it for three months.

I went through CWMand Dr.Gersin was my surgeon it took me some to get an appt with him. I started out on the medical side and went to the surgical side.
