Foranewme- Thank you for posting this. I'm still pre-op, it will be February 2018 for my surgery. It is so helpful to hear that it was hard afterward but what a reward!! The waterpark!

I know how you feel I am also 4 days out and the depression tries to take over. I smile in pain because I know in the end I will be ok. You can do it! You have done it! Now you must push past this stage and trust me it’s not easy but you have show how strong you are with the life decision you made. I applaud everyone who has started on this journey.

Now 8 days out and I’m feeling better. I still have rough Patches, but made it all day yesterday without a nap. Rested a lot, but didn’t nap! Pain is lessening every day too.

It will get better. The first days are hectic making sure you get the rebuilders hydration and Protein Shakes. It can be very overwhelming. This is why we (those who have had WLS) het upset when people say we took the easy way out. It is not easy by any measure.

I went through the same. I felt like death for a few weeks. It’ll get better. The Vitamins make a major difference! Plus we had major surgery! Lots of adjustments and stuff.

My RNY surgery was yesterday around. 10 am EST. So far I’m doing pretty well. I have had little to no nausea, and I am doing fine keeping liquids down. I had a hard time coming out on anesthesia and my blood pressure dropped pretty low, but everything is back to normal now. My incisions are by far the most painful part, and getting in and out of bed is really not fun. I’ll be more glad I did this in a few weeks when I’m not as exhausted and in pain.

Yes, I got your message. Thanks. I’m having a little trouble maneuvering around the app. I got liquid hydrocodone, but I haven’t taken much because most of my pain has been gas and the pain meds don’t do anything for that. My sister flew down to stay with me the first week of surgery, which has been really great. Plus, I have a close knit set of girlfriends who are just as supportive and amazing. My SW was 331.7.

I had my surgery today I would say I feel a little ok. I do have pain in my gut, but I can figure out if it is from the gas, eating too much SF Jello or popsicles, or is it just pain from where they did the surgery? I’m really struggling with this and the not knowing if I why I feel bad.
Can anyone provide any insights as to what I should expect the first week? I will be using the BariatricAdvantage Protein Shakes - has anyone had these before? If so, how did u do with them? I’m extremely picky so I’m petrified that they are going to be so gross. Thought? Should I have other brands available just in case? If so, can anyone recommend some others?
Thanks in advance!

I would do it too. I’m 46 and had gastric bypass today!

It’s totally worth the wait. Good luck on your journey!!

I’m having my surgery at Emory Johns Creek on Thursday, 11/16.

I'm on day 4 of my 10 day liver reduction diet and have had a bit if food each day. Usually more veg, some lean protien, or cottage cheese. Mine is very strict (3-4 Protein Shakes and 1/2 c. Non-starchy veg each day), and I'm confused why I'm even on it, as I am getting a revision that is altering my intestine where the large and small connect, at the opposite end from where the pouch and liver are.
I'm going to call the dietician tomorrow to ask about it. All the liquid is killing me, and I'm a teacher and can't just go to the bathroom whenever I want. :-(
(Also, this diet is making me whiny. Please excuse my mope.)
