I had the RNY done last Tuesday, 3/29. My surgery and recovery have been awesome. Not gonna lie, the first 36 hours were tough, but since I turned the corner it's been remarkably easy!

Thanks! I've had my surgery now....just last week. It went great! Everything worked out just fine : )

I had the roux-en-y on 3/29. I also had my gallbladder removed. The first 36 hours were very, very tough, but I've been improving steadily since then. I only spent one night in the hospital and my husband was nervous about me going home so soon. It was quick, but I really couldn't rest there at all! Too many interruptions and the IV made noise al night. It was much better in the reclining couch at home. Now that I've turned that wicked corner, I can say it's not too bad. I'm fortunate in that I haven't had the gas pain - air is coming out both ends. LOL. I'm able to drink the Water and close to getting it all in. Closer not that I'm awake more. I'm only on Tylenol for pain and it's managed okay. I've had broth with Protein powder, applesauce, Protein shakes. Going well so far. Now to heal, rest and follow the rules! Good luck everyone!

12:30 tomorrow! Count me in on discussions!!!

Almost my story- except my doc rescheduled me because he didn't want me traveling a week after surgery. We were headed to Texas from Chicago by car. Soooo. I had completed 2 of my 3 week pre op liquid diet by then. I was told that I could go off it while on my trip. Then o get home to find a message from my nurse that I needed to go back on liquids for two weeks prior to new surgical date. That was last week. My surgery is in two days- which gives me exactly 1 week of a liquid diet and now I fear he will reschedule me again. I swear I will tell him to just do an open RNY and be done with it. Four weeks of liquid diet when others with higher bmi's have a lap procedure and no preop diet just seems unfair.
And yes. I'm whining lol. Sorry[emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

@@mollykaye I can only imagine how devastated you must be--I'm at the beginning of this process and can barely stand the wait for appointments...so I can't imagine how heart broken you must feel to have your surgery postponed.
But it's only a speedbump on your road to a healthier you!! Good Luck in your journey

March 15th for me! I'm on day 2 of the full liquid diet. Good luck everyone!
