I just wanted to share where I am in my journey. I had RNY in August 2016. I started at 496. I am now the same weight I was as a junior in high school 25 years at 274!! I went from a size 60 kilt to a size 40!! Also from 6xl shirts to 2 xl sizes now.

So, my RNY was August 8th of this year. I started seeing the dietician and had my first health check visit 12/15/15, so almost 1 year ago. I started at 496 pounds. Yesterday I had an appointment and weighed in at 353. I'm 143 pounds down over about a year since I started my journey. I'd like to go about another 75 pounds. If I hit that mark, I'll be the weight I was as a junior in high school. I'm currently 42. I hope everyone else is having success with their journeys as well!!

Wow. I'm on liquid only for 2 weeks post op. I'm on day 8 after surgery. All I've had are premier Protein shakes and Jell-O Gelatin and pudding. Surprised you're eating sold food in eggs. I had RNY.

I don't know what it is, but I keep waking up in the middle of the night, dizzy, with a cold feeling in the pit of my stomach; then a wave of warmth and nausea comes over me and I have to run to the bathroom only to dry heave.

I haven't even started purée because I was advised not to. All I've been doing is sipping a Protein shake once a day, eating a scrambled egg, drinking 4 oz of Gatorade and the rest of the day is Water. I have no appetite.

I don't really understand why, so randomly in the middle of the night my body wakes me up to dry heave. Am I doing something wrong?

I had my RNY gastric bypass on Monday, 8/8/16. I'm home and on the 2 week liquid diet now. Any thoughts of good liquid Protein Drinks? I used a container of Kroger carb master cinnamon roll yogurt, milk, and vanilla Protein powder and blended it together. Made 2 servings. Just looking for other people's suggestions. Thanks.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I'll double check with the Dr and see what he thinks.

So, my surgery is tomorrow. I take about 8 different pills for stuff like thyroid, cholesterol, and acid reflux. Does anyone who has had the surgery, that also had severe acid reflux that was taking prilosec prescription strength, know at this point is acid reflux still an issue? I know the other meds I may BA able to stop later on, but im due to re up my prilosec and wondered if I should hold off. Thanks for your insight.

No liquid diet to start. I will be liquid in the hospital for 3 days after then liquid consistency for 2 weeks after.

Well, it's been a hectic journey so far. I'm 6'2" tall. When I started, my weight was 495. I had to complete 6 months of appointments with a nutritionist. Done. I have been scheduled for my surgery on 8/8/16. As of now, with just watching my food, and some exercise, I'm at 450. A small win for me as I have not lost weight in about 12 to 15 years, although I've tried!! I'm looking forward to the next phase of this journey!
