Almost there! Won't be long and you will be waking up in the recovery room, and the surgery will be over. That's when the adventure truly begins...you will have crossed the threshold into your new future and joined us on this great transformation journey. You'll feel crappy for a few days, but it will start turning around by the end of the week. I just started on week four and I'm feeling totally normal, except that I actually feel better physically now and I can hardly eat anything

Today is my clear liquid day and surgery tomorrow!!! I will be calling my doctors office to clarify everything is still a go before i drink that magnesium citrate this afternoon

After RNY gastric bypass surgery, your meal volume size is so small that you will not need very much food. The three most important elements after RNY gastric bypass surgery are to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight.
Weight loss is achieved after surgery through volume control. You begin at 2 ounces (1/4 cup) per meal and gradually over the next year and a half increase the volume to 1 cup per meal. With this minuscule amount of food, it is next to impossible to meet your Protein daily requirements by food alone, so therefore you need to rely on supplements such as Protein shakes. Your taste buds may change after surgery. Food, Water, fluids and Protein Shakes that you had no problem consuming prior to surgery may taste different, even revulsive. So be willing to experiment until you find those that you can tolerate. Experimentation is the key. As you work through the various stages, each stage has its series of changes. Have a pill crusher/pill splitter on hand because you may find it difficult to swallow in the beginning.

I get my Isopure from Vitamin shoppe

I got the approval for my sleeve to bypass revision surgery from Aetna!!!! I had VSG in January, 2012. I started gaining back the weight about 1 1/2 years ago and sadly regained all I had lost. I am SO ready for this second "second chance" and feel so blessed!!
The insurance coordinator at my doctor's office was very worried that we would get approved because other requests had been denied by Aetna. So I am the first one that has received the approval at their office! I will be getting all the pre-op appointments done quickly and surgery is like to be by the end of October!
One thing I did not do after VSG was to develop a network of support from this community. I want to change that this time around! I need all the support I can get.
VSG Surgery: 1/26/12
Highest Weight: 239.9
Lowest Weight 150.2
Height: 5'5"
Bypass Surgery: Date TBD
Current Weight: 236
