  1. Congratulations! I'm 15 days post op. I have my 1st f/u tom. I can't wait to advance to soft foods!
  2. I walked in thinking I wanted the sleeve. But I have acid reflux and the Dr. said that wouldn't be a good choice for me. Plus she said for the amount of weight I wanted to lose, bypass was a better option. Did your Dr. offer their opinion on what would be best for you?
  3. You look great! I can't wait til I'm 9 mos post op.
  4. That's great! I'm 15 days post op. I'm going back to my Dr. tomorrow for my 2 week post op appt. and I get to start on puréed/soft foods! Yay!
  5. Congratulations! That's awesome!! I'm 2 weeks post op. I can only imagine the journey I'm beginning!!
  6. I had bypass on 8-17. I was just thinking it would be nice to find some people that were close to my date to share concerns, stories etc with. I'm 39 and live in Arkansas
  7. @@chamley How are you feeling?
  8. You look great! Congratulations!!
  9. I had my surgery 2 weeks ago. I would recommend bringing some Chapstick and slippers.
  10. I love the Unjury chocolate shakes!
  11. Thanks everyone! I love all the support!!
  12. Congrats on your weight loss! Keep up the good work. I'm a newbie too. I had bypass on 8-17.
  13. I'm so excited I'm 2 weeks post op and down 15lbs!! Yay!
  14. Me too! I'm 13 days post op and still on liquids! I'm so ready for some puréed food (which I never thought I would say)
  15. I'm been doing great. A little tired. I go back for my 2 week post op next Wednesday and hopefully advance to puréed foods. I'm pretty sick of the liquids.
  16. I also had surgery on the 17th. ????????????
  17. I started taking all my prescription meds day after surgery. (whole capsules & tablets) That is what my Dr told me. I haven't had any problems.
  18. I had RNY on 8-17. I stayed in the hospital one night. Things I loved having were chapstick, my slippers (they were great to have walking the halls after surgery) and a pillow from home. I would also suggest loose fitting clothes to wear home. Good luck!!
