Thank you all so much! It was the best decision I've ever made!

I'm so thankful for making the decision of having my bypass surgery! I'm able to tolerate everything except bananas and eggs (boiled, scrambled, etc) I just recently saw my surgeon and I have another 60lbs to reach my goal weight of 170lbs!

My personal story

I had RNY bypass on 10/10/16 following every rule to the T! 13 days post op I woke up in tears Saturday morning, was not able to tolerate a Protein Shake for the first time and it was accompanied by nausea, no vomiting. I went to the gym thinking it was gas pains, nope it got worse. I called my surgeon in tears and he told me to immediately go to the ER. I get to the ER I was in so much pain I was in fetal position and no pain killer would take my pain away! At this point they did blood work and a CT scan of my abdomen everything came back NORMAL! The doctor started saying it was something I had eaten wrong! (I was following my plan to the T) Well the doctor in the ER wanted to discharge me and send me home. I'm a nurse, I said no, something is wrong! Well the surgeon decided to keep me over night just for "observation" I slept the night pain free, when I woke up in the morning the pain had come back. At 12 o'clock the surgeon finally came to see me. At 4:30 in the afternoon I was being prepared for emergency surgery for a diagnostic laparotomy with possible vowel resection. Well it took the surgeon to open me up, to find that I had an intestinal stenosis....he had to reroute my entire bypass! Moral of the story, listen to your body! I could have died from that complication! And with every procedure there is always a risk of complication!

I just went 5 days without a bowel movement and as I was talking to my mom on the phone I felt the urge!!! Thank God! Either way I'm going to take a stool softener! Be careful with laxatives, they can deplete you of nutrients (the very little we get) and can dehydrate you! Stool softener is a better route!
