I'm scheduled for Rny on June 20th. Had my preop/pre-registration today. Excited and nervous and ready to get this done.

I am 10 months post bypass and have passed my goal so I'm no longer trying to lose. That said, I still eat healthy most of the time. When I run through the drive through for my kids they both know they have to pay the "fry tax". They each give me 3 or 4 of their fries. They find it hilarious. Oh and I have a Hershey kiss after lunch a few times a week. I got down on myself about it once then thought about how I ate before surgery and got over it lol

The topic is posted in the rants section for a reason. Many of us post daily numerous times being as helpful as we can to others, but the “rants” is a place for just that, ranting. If you are easily offended or disappointed in opinions of strangers on the internet you may want to stay out of the rants part of the forums.

Don't overpack. It's just more stuff you need to lug home. Surgical glue can't get wet for like 48 hours so don't plan on showering at the hospital. I took one pair of comfy pj pants for under my hospital gown. Wore comfy pants and a t-shirt home. Had a phone charger, brush, hair ties, biotine spray and flip flops. Oh and my id. Less is more!

My surgery was Wed morning so I'm 2 days out. I'm tired and sore. I miss my morphine pump [emoji852]️ I don't regret it at all but I can't wait to feel better. But I can shower when I get up on Friday! I'm having trouble sleeping so I told my husband we are buying a recliner asap. We need a new one anyways. Ours broke and we never replaced it. How are you feeling?

One day out from rny. It's still surreal that I finally got my surgery. I'm on clear liquids for another day then I can go to full liquids. I've been sipping Water and Premier Protein clear all day. Had an ounce of chicken broth for Breakfast and another one for dinner. Oh and like 3 tiny bites of Jello. Don't want to push it lol

I'm really just venting because bcbs tried to give me a heart attack. Just a little background, my surgery was pre-approved. Both my surgeon and the hospital were named in the approval letter. I got a notice a claim was finalized. They denied payment on the $82,000 hospital bill. I called to find out wtf happened. The eob said it was only covered if I went to a center of excellence. My hospital IS a center of excellence. She put me on hold and looked it up. It should have been paid. They messed up. Now it has to be manually redone and it will take about a month. I seriously almost had a panic attack. Thank goodness they are fixing it. I won't really be truly OK until it's actually done and paid.

I take 2 of the Flintstones completes everyday. I'm 2 months post op. No problems here. You have to take Calcium separately because the Flintstones completes have Iron. I also take Biotin, B complex and D3.

I'm now almost 2 months post op from RNY. Went back to work Monday. I work a school so that's when all employees went back. I've been walking a ton all week, hitting my Fluid and Protein goals and the stupid scale hasn't budged this week. I'm guessing the change in routine is throwing my body out of whack. I'm only 15lbs from onderland. I know this stall will break soon but I just needed to whine for a second lol

I was told no straws ever. I didn't listen. I've been using them the whole time. I just make sure to not swallow the air I suck up in the straw and to take small sips. I'm all for following Dr's orders but none of them seem to agree on the straw issue. I did what works best for me and helps me get my fluids in.

Hey surgery twin! My Dr only does a special diet for the first 3 weeks. I've been able to eat whatever I can tolerate for about a month. That doesn't mean candy and chips. It has to be healthy and Protein first. I had a couple green grapes today and they were fantastic. Haven't tried many raw veggies yet.

I ended up in the hospital with a stone a couple weeks ago. It was one they saw on my CT when I had my last one in May. Thankfully the other small stones have all been flushed out. Hopefully keeping the fluids up will keep them cleared out.

They are 2oz clear containers with lids. I work in a concession stand during football season and we use them for jalapeños. They sell them by the paper plates. I use them for everything now.

Get a small food processer from Walmart. They work great for purees and are super cheap. I found a digital food scale on Amazon, I think it was $8
