I can't believe tomorrow I check in at 6am for surgery! Feeling all kinds of emotions, almost surreal that's it's really happening. So excited to walk through this whole new journey!

I am 3 weeks post op and have the same thing. It's because the main part of the surgery is on the left side. Dr said to use a heating pad to help ease some of the discomfort.

I was told by my dr/ hospital before and surgery NO swallowing pills for 8 weeks after surgery (RNY) because they didn't want them getting caught or plugging up new pouch. So I would check with what your dr recommends.

There are some great ideas, Recipes on Pinterest. Just search under Bariatric recipes and they have all kinds of ideas for all the stages we slowly work through. Just a suggestion for you to try, hope it helps some [emoji262][emoji260][emoji262]

Has anyone been told or experienced a delay in recovery due to having a hernia repaired at the same time you have RNY surgery? Just curious

Hang in there, I am 6 days post-op and I am to still having some left side stomach pain. Dr office said we all heal different and the scar tissue is forming inside and feels real tight and sore, this will lesson in time. I just keep focusing on the positives, how quickly the changes are happening already. I feel better everyday that's the important thing! Hang in there girl, we all feel your struggle and we are here when you need reassurance for this struggle. [emoji847][emoji39][emoji847]

Made it through my surgery did good. Came home on Saturday evening, just some discomfort in my left side. Taking small amounts of pain meds to control the side pain. Doing great so far...[emoji39]

Thank you, everything has gone well. Tummy is pretty sore on the left side but gets better everyday. Started full liquids yesterday and doing good with that as well. So just going slow and doing great. [emoji847][emoji39][emoji847]

Best of luck girl! How exciting, once you are up for it you'll have to give us a update on how things go for you. My big day is Thursday (21st) I am so ready as well!! Here's to a whole new life....[emoji847]

I would say you need to contact your nutritionist about what is going on, so they could give you some options to try. Meeting your nutritional needs is very important in this process, it may just take more time. Your body and mind are going through huge changes. Hang in there and take good care of your self. [emoji847]

Wow..that's amazing the difference! You rock...I can't wait to be 3 months P\O and see my change! Thanks so much for sharing (such an inspiration) [emoji16][emoji1360][emoji847]

Well how did it go? Hope you feel well enough to give us a update on how well you did? Here's to a speedy recovery and a lifetime of healthiness [emoji847]

So glad to hear all is going well, is everything going the way you expected? I am one week away today for my RNY and feeling all kinds of emotions. Would love to hear how things are going g when you feel up to it. [emoji847]

I had this procedure done in may of 2013. Was at OCC with Dr Ortiz. The whole thing was a waste of time and money, in total I lost 6lbs was doing a whole lot better on my own when needed support or understanding they just wanted you to return to Mexico and undergo another surgery to restrict the plication more. My current dr in the states said No No don't go back to resolve this problem there only taking your money with no hope for a change that may not happen. Totally depressed about the whole thing..I gave up till 6 months ago, on 9/21/17 I am having a revision RNY. My nutritionist current says this has really messed with my metabolism (plication)-hopefully this current surgery can finally get me the results (tool) I'm looking for and be successful. Just be cautious on the choices you have...

We are all there in spirit with you. Stay strong and embrace this life changing time for your self. Mark your day as a new beginning. Best of luck [emoji1360][emoji122]

Congrats on your new life. Glad to hear surgery went well, so awesome [emoji122] just take things one day at a time, you should notice things feeling better every day than the last. I can't wait to be over the hump of surgery mine is schedule 9/21/17 RNY[emoji419]

I have been on my pre-op diet for 3days now. I feel very low energy, a drained type feeling all day long. Thinking my body feels like its in shock, wondering what in the heck am I doing..LOL But I just have to simply remind myself why I am doing this. I know this hard work will reward me greatly and I couldn't be more grateful to have this chance to live life much healthier/happy. [emoji847]

I have gone to my pre op appts on 9/1 and my bypass surgery is set for September 21st. I am feeling all kinds of emotions. Start my two weeks of liquids on Thursday the 7th. Praying for strength to make it through( what I hear is so hard ) I can't wait for results, weight falling off, most of all to be comfortable in my own skin.

My liquid diet starts today! All liquids until surgery day, which is on 9/21 clear liquids day before surgery. Can have some things unlimited..jello, popsicles, pudding. So I am thinking I'll be ok...after all this is the road I have chosen to have a whole new life.
