Katrinakit

I know. Like I said, I'm just going to have to wait and see lol. He has never tried to convince me not to have the surgery or anything and I keep warning him about the loose skin and the possibility that I might look too thin in the face for a bit (something I have noticed when people lose weight fast is that their faces kind of go through an "awkward stage" while the body is redistributing the fat.)

I wanted to get a goal outfit and realized I don't even know where normal sized women my age shop?! My 30 something friends are plus sized and my 20 something friends buy dresses so short I considered getting one as a shirt. I like girly, slightly bohemian style, similar to anthropologie. But nothing really jumped out at me on their website. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

I love that quote!

YES!!!! Can't wait to get done with this phase. None of the shakes are appealing anymore. I can have Greek yogurt, but like the shakes, it gets old real fast. I saw a quote somewhere I recite in my head before each shake. It says, "The things you do now that feel like great sacrifices, will one day be the greatest investment in yourself you've made." Helps me get through one shake at a time.... good luck! Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

Honestly the ONLY problem i had drinking this week has been that I've always been too tired to finish my fluids. Lol. Ive noticed 0 nausea from it.

Yeah I refused to weigh myself before my first followup

That's good! I am 7 days out, I had hard time drinking but I've have (3 in one surgeries) so I had a lot more swelling. In the beginning I had a hard time with drinking so I did only warm drinks because I could tolerate but only tiny sips... Today I am doing better, able to drink room temp Water but still smaller sips, it's really hard to get all Water in this way, but in working on it.
I think it's great you can drink with no prob!

I am so ready for some food tho! I have to have shakes and Water for 2 weeks only. Then can graduate to soft foods. eggs sound so freakin amazing right now! Lol. It's funny how fast everything changes. I went from craving a bunch of tacos and soda to now just one egg. All I want is one egg! Lol

Hi everyone! I had my surgery yesterday and was soooo nauseous for most of the day but am feeling much better today. I have been walking the halls and I did the number of laps that constitutes a mile (not all at once though lol) and am "eating" broth and Popsicles and taking by mouth meds. I think I am getting discharged tomorrow!!

I drank some mag citrate today to prep for surgery. That stuff is nasty! Now I am just waiting for the "fun" to begin lol this is a crazy journey we are all going on!

Yup that is fun for sure You are going in tomorrow?

My RNY Bypass was May 10th and thought I would let everyone know how it went. Surgery was at 12:30 in the afternoon and I was released from hospital by 2:00 the next afternoon. I did a lot of walking the halls soon after surgery and I really think that helped. I actually felt better walking than I did sitting. I had no nausea or vomiting whatsoever and still have not. I used pain meds for a couple days. After that the pain was bearable. Mainly gas pains and walking definitely helps with that. I have had no trouble getting all my Water in, but I do sip all day long. The hardest part has been keeping on the schedule of meds, food, Protein Drinks and liquids. Took me a bit to get my meds straight and figure out the best schedule for me. I'll be glad when I can stop some of the meds.
Honestly - I can't believe how well I have done. I feel great, walking the neighborhood. Going to the drug store today to pick up some things, my first venture out alone. I am thankful for my amazing talented surgeon!
Don't be afraid, it's never as bad as you think it might be. For me, it wasn't bad at all.
Hope you all have great results!!

well I had the last of my preop appointments yesterday. They did an ekg, some bloodwork, pregnancy test etc. I met with surgeon and anesthesiologist and multiple nurses and the nutritionist. So now I am just counting down the hours! On Monday morning I go in at 750am and will have surgery at 950! My bff comes to visit tomorrow and we are going hiking and then I am Clear Liquids on Sunday. I can't believe it is almost here!
