  1. I was on liquids the first 2 weeks afterwards, then soft mushy foods next 2-3 weeks and now I eat mini meals that don’t fill up a saucer dish... I dumped once when I didn’t use small plate... I get my fluids in plus proteins then vegetables... I eat slowly chewing real small before I swallow
  2. I'm located in Coudersport, PA. I'm doing good down to 215 from 289. I didn't have outside sutures but the incision that opened was a crazy one with no pressure on it but my body does it's own thing...lol
  3. I had mine reclosed on 7 July... finally healed
  4. See if they have frozen low fat yogurt...
  5. Go back to basics and start over... 2 week liquids with protein drinks... soft diet afterwards just like reset
  6. I had my surgery 25 May and I'm down over 60lbs. I had one of my incisions pop open and had to be reclosed 7 July... I think I'm doing good. I went from 26-16 size wise. Good luck with your appointment, you have a great Dr
  7. I'm from Coudersport, PA but went through Geisinger for my surgery. Dr Gabrielson was my Dr.
  8. I'm in Coudersport, PA about 2 hours away... had my RNY 25 May and keeping it real here
  9. If you go anywhere pack your own cooler with drinks, protein shakes or protein clear to help stay hydrated! Don't drink fast though
  10. Water with crystal light, popcycles- sugar free
  11. I only have a problem with meat if it's dry or tough... I discovered an instant pot and now all meat is fine if I remember to chew real fine and portion control.
  12. Walking or chair yoga... something simple
  13. Dr says it takes up to 3 months for energy to come back.
  14. I have one like this on my left side. Dr told me to keep covered with silver gel and a bandaid. Change morning and night. He'll see it in 2 weeks. I'm 4 weeks post op. As long as no fever, I'm good. It has to heal inside out, takes longer
  15. Not sure unless surgeon did more work on Left than Right. I hurt on the right side but have an incision that won't stay closed on Left... I haven't worked out, only walking as I'm a slow healer...
  16. I'm tired and gassy but fine... I'm home and resting plus staying hydrated
  17. I found bio freeze gel to help with spasms, just on my back... I walk some, keep hydrated and have taken zofran to keep from getting sick to my tummy. I take shots for clots too
  18. I'm 61 years young... had my surgery 25 May. I'm tired, still gassy but doing ok
  19. Yes, I don't have a defibrillator, just did meds... everything is good, still on meds... trying to stay hydrated
  20. I had afib and was on a beta blocker to help... had my surgery 25 May
  21. I'm allergic to silicon from breast cancer implants but don't know how you'd know otherwise. I'm so sorry for you as I almost died before they figured it out.
  22. I too have wicked gas and did smooth move tea. My surgery was 25 May and today I was blessed with a number 2. I use Bio Freeze for back rub to ease spasms. Helps tremendously! Wish the gas would pass faster... but so far tolerating everything ok
  23. Mine is tomorrow and your words were the music my ears needed to hear. Thank you for your humorous candor! I so get it! Will let you know as soon as I can about my day
  24. I use the small ninja
  25. Coudersport, PA but surgery is at Geisinger in Danville on 25 May
