I hope to find a protein shake I can tolerate and that I don’t pass out from low blood sugar (I’m diabetic). I heard sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello are good. Hang in there!!

Sending good vibes!! Hope it went smoothly!!

Well I finally got my RNY date-it all goes down July 23. I’m excited and nervous all at once, but I really just want to move into this next chapter in my life. I really like my surgeon and his team and I am confident in his skills. Need to start stocking up on liquids and vitamins 😁 Any others having surgery the week of 7/23? Meg in MN

Thanks!! Happy to be a part of the club

I am having RnY on July 23 in St. Paul, MN.

Thanks!! One minute I’m excited and the next I read something and I’m scared.

Woo hoo!! I hope I tolerate the protein shakes ok!

I am having mine on July 23. Very excited to get this done and start the next part of life! I’m in MN. How about you? When and where?

I meant SURGERY date...

I have the exact fears!! Especially throwing up 😳

I find out my date on Tuesday when I see the surgeon. I’m thinking it will be in late June or early July.

Thank you!!! I’m getting very scared now and pray I’m making the right decision.

Just make sure you call your surgeon if your incision looks infected. Glad you’re taking it easy next week. I plan on taking 2 weeks off after surgery.

Hope you made it to the doctor and you’re feeling better!!

Hi there, just checking in to see how you’re feeling today. Has the pain improved? Meg

You go Matt!! I bet your brother’s wedding will be a blast!

Hi all, I’m in the process of getting approved for gastric bypass. In my materials the surgeon gave me about gastric bypass, it says “vomiting after surgery is NOT normal. Contact your surgeon’s office immediately if vomiting persists.” An acquaintance of mine that had the surgery pukes all the time and tells me about it happening when it happens. I’m terrified to throw up. Is puking normal after surgery? Does it happen often? Thanks!! Megan

Thank you so much for the encouragement!!

Okay- I appreciate your input and advice. A couple people l know get the foamy stuff but not nauseous because there’s no bile apparently. I wish I didn’t have this phobia. I just know I want this surgery so I’m going to fight through it.

So you were nauseous too? ☹️

Looks awwsome!

My “friend” that knows of my phobia made sure that I knew today that she ate 3 bites of a corn dog and threw up. I don’t need more worry!! She had RNY last year and insists that I will get sick the first several months. Ugh. I see my dietitian again tomorrow- can’t wait to discuss this with her. Just knew you would understand my anxiety. Megan

I am seeing Dr. Siddiqui (sp?) too! I see her next week. I’m doing gastric bypass. I think my surgery should be in May.

I’m having mine done at United by Svendsen too!! Small world! I have 2 dietitian appts and the psych visit left. 😊 it’s a bummer Lyndsey left- hope the new dietitian is as good.

I’ll make sure of it! Miralax will be on hand!!
